[Tlhingan-hol] Klingon Bird-of-Prey Haynes Manual

We weren't providing anything, just proof reading and complaining about the font. I would say from his reactions to the titles that he wasn't approving them as the way to say anything in Klingon, just. informing they said something vaguely related to each topic.

Should the uses and definitions of Klingon terms and Klingon sentences found in this book be considered as coming from Okrand (i.e., like the Bird-of-Prey poster), or are they from KLI members?
