Anyway, count me in for a revised Music of Star Trek book.
Or even an expanded Music of TOS ebook, with material from Steiner's interviews + expanded analysis of each of the scores + some background on the process of composing for TV. I'd spend 10 or 20 bux on that, easy. I bet a lot of other people would too.
By "background", I mean info about how those guys worked. Did they get a "composer's bible" from the producers, the way there was a screenwriting bible for the show? How much time did they have to turn around the work? How many other shows would they be doing more or less simultaneously? About how much would they typically be paid? How many shows would you have to do a year, to make a living at it? How much did they collaborate? How much did they re-use material between shows? Stuff like that. I assume the TOS composers were pretty typical of TV composers in that era, in terms of work environment. Just an outline of what that was typically like, would add a lot of context.
I'll preorder now, if you like.

I was only able to include the cue sheet info in the original book because I retyped each of the sheets represented. If any of you want to volunteer to retype all 80 (and correct all their inaccuracies) we can talk about putting out another edition in a few years when you're done. 
Since I'm a little thick...are you just joking here Jeff or is another edition of your book actually a possibility? You seem like you're in a better position than ever for it to be definitive...

Dammit. The topic should be a question.
Unless you know something Jeff hasn't told us?
Good book by the way. I'd say great, but a lot has been discovered since then. Nearly great. Certainly no fault of the author!

I would love a revised edition of this...but Jeff is in such demand now as a writer, we'd have to find publisher to pay for it to justify his taking the time.
For whatever it's worth—I know I have all the digital word files for the first edition safe and sound!

Dammit. This is why we didn't get James Horner for Star Trek VI!
(Don't throw things, I love Star Trek VI.)

The way I remember it, Jeff Bond said at some point that, taking into account the months he spent working on the book, and the money he eventually made on it, he would have done better financially by working at McDonald's. Meaning: it's a miracle we got even one edition of this great book. And I say that as someone who bought two copies when it first came out, one as a gift.

The work for the book came in handy for Jeff when he wrote liner notes to practically every Trek movie and series!

I never thought of it that way. It was a big investment that got him some later jobs.
