Of course, whilst getting a price for printing the PDF is a good indicator of the cost of printing in very low quantities—at scale, the cost per book should be much, much better—the PDF is not print quality.

This whole thing has been such a colossal joke but only on us.

It's a race to August; which one comes first, the long-delayed Goldsmith Companion, which we SHOULD of had by now or Tim Greiving's John Williams bio? Make your bets now!

The December update said that they would be getting the book printed in Lithuania and shipped to fulfillment centers in the first quarter of 2025. Taylor said he would let us know if that changed. Given the lack of subsequent updates, we have to assume it has not changed, and fulfillment will start within about eight weeks.

I'm just trying to throw some blind optimism into the glum atmosphere we've got here. Maybe we've been closer to the end than the beginning for months now!

I truly hope you are proven right.
But, seriously, people were going to vent when a $19K Kickstarter was funded to $171K, spotty updates and delays, and we're told the books will be in B/W because of cost. If just the original goal was achieved, I could forgive most of these issues. But with it being funded at nearly 9X the target, these books should have had impressive stretch goals (glossy finish, slipcases, bookmarks, etc.) What were the stretch goals we got: digital wallpaper and PDfs of the book (these cost nothing).

Hey, don't forget the free Wind & the Lion commentary!
...which, yeah, ... also cost nothing.

Is this the same book that was promised 20 years ago after Jerry Goldsmith died in 2004. Just Wondering.

Let’s all just go buy Howard’s book instead!

At this point it starts to feel like we'll get an official Series 10 "Doctor Who" soundtrack release before we see these as actual books.

I feel more hopeful for a CD release of John Barry's Sinful Davy than I do about getting these books.
(Of course, I'm kidding, but I thought it was worth the joke.)
