The Music of the Lord of the Rings Films ends with a brief recap -- a "here's what's happened since the last recording session" epilogue that brings readers back to present day. Just moments ago I updated that text. It now ends with "2010" rather than "2009." I felt it was a fitting tribute to J.R.R. Tolkien's 118th birthday, which we're celebrating today.

With that, the rewrite is now done -- or at least this pass is complete. Come tomorrow morning, more powerful eyes than mine will begin to look things over. Once the rewrite is approved (fingers crossed!) the text will be copyedited. At the same time, we should be nailing down our design concepts, finalizing the direction everything will take. And then, of course, we'll get back into the meticulous work of laying out the text. Busy days are ahead!
