Summary: A Great Introduction
Review: This is an excelent introduction to the language. It has a very good pronounciation section and contains all the phrases one would need to "get by". It also has a basic vocabulary that provides a good foundation for further study.

But remember it is only an introduction. And the grammar section should be taken with a grain of salt. It mentions two different sets of "pronouns" when one is realy a set of verbal prefixs (jI- bI- ma- Su-), also it says that pronouns come at the end of a phrase this is not always true (eg. taHqeq gragh matlh'e' Maltz is a "taHqeq").

If you want to learn the basics this is an terrific buy. If you want to know more go buy The Klingon Dictionary. Qapla'!
