To paraphrase Mr. Thatcher in Citizen Kane, I will now read a prepared statement after which I will refuse to answer any further questions. It now falls to me to keep you apprised of publicity developments involving the upcoming Danny Elfman/Tim Burton Box Set, to wit: this video of yours truly, Danny Elfman, Mr. Kraft, and other pivotal players speaking about the creation of the 260-page book Danse Macabre: 25 Years of Danny Elfman and Tim Burton, which I wrote last summer and which will be included in the box set. Note Richard's forthright descriptions of how he tortured me during the writing of this tome.
Just to reiterate, all I did was write the book--so I can't answer your questions about any other aspects of the project.
Here is a clip showing the unboxing of the DANNY ELFMAN & TIM BURTON 25TH ANNIVERSARY MUSIC BOX as well as a behind-the-scenes clip regarding the book, DANSE MACABRE by Jeff Bond which is included exclusively in the set.
These clips are part of an ongoing series highlighting various aspects of this production.

THE DANNY ELFMAN & TIM BURTON 25th ANNIVERSARY MUSIC BOX: DANSE MACABRE- THE BOOK
Tim Burton, Danny Elfman, and others involved in the production of THE DANNY ELFMAN & TIM BURTON 25TH ANNIVERSARY MUSIC BOX offer a behind-the-scenes look at the creation of DANSE MACABRE, a 264-page book included in this project.
This meticulously researched and lavishly illustrated book features a foreword by Johnny Depp, as well as rare photos, stories, and interviews from the cast and crew, behind-the-scenes of this classic music—from the early days of Elfman's band Oingo Boingo to the recent blockbuster film, Alice In Wonderland.
This comprehensive 10"x10" keepsake, fine linen-wrapped hardbound book with gold foil stamping is produced exclusively for this collection. DANSE MACABRE: 25 YEARS OF DANNY ELFMAN AND TIM BURTON is written by acclaimed film-music journalist Jeff Bond and designed by Grammy-winning designer Matt Taylor.

I watched the video last night. I'm on the east coast so I get all the Burton/Elfman e-mails just before I go to bed.
Everything looks great!
Jeff Bond: author of Star Trek liner notes and a Danny Elfman book... seriously, how can I be like you when I grow up? 
More than just liner notes, Jeff Bond literally wrote the book about Music for Star Trek. http://amzn.to/gPVkXK

FINALLY, we'll actually get to know some truth and not the, oh it was a pleasure working with so and so on this project and everyone's saying it with a big smile. I'm glad that they aren't shying away from the TRUE story. This should be one hell of a cool read.
