I've never read this book. Wikipedia lists it as a source of canonical Klingon and the Klingon Pocket Dictionary produced by Klingonska Akademien lists a couple of words only found in the book ({be'joy'} and {Heghba'}).

What was Okrand's involvement? Does it count as canon?

I asked a similar question about this book a while back and the answer I was given is that all the klingon phrases in it come from Marc Okrand.

I've actually finished re-reading the book and enjoyed it very much.  The story of Sarek is compelling and the side story about the Klingons is equally worth reading.

Gaffers make appreciative and supportive remarks in the form of bad imitations of primate calls from the direction of the lighting grids.

I've now bought a copy from Amazon, and it includes an acknowledgement to Okrand for "inventing words and phrases in Klingonese" (sic).
