Taylor has decided the books will be passed down from generation to generation by way of oral tradition.
After all, if it's good enough for the Bible it's good enough for Goldsmith.

How about audio books with a trendy (aka terrible) AI voice for another 100 bucks… let‘s do some Kickstarter. Who‘s in?

You realize that's not even remotely the same *kind* of book as this one written by Jeff Bond... right? Just because it's also about Jerry Goldsmith doesn't mean it's in any way a substitute. Unless you just want something attractive looking for your shelf.

Even if this physical book never comes out, if I ever have a question about a Jerry Goldsmith score or part of his career, I know that I'll be opening the Jeff Bond PDF rather than opening any of the physical Goldsmith books that exist.

Sure, but its better than nothing.
Lots of things are better than nothing, one might even argue that all things are better than nothing, but I have never paid for nothing, and I intend it remains that way. No matter the cost.

PROOFS??? How many sets of PROOFS have there been, for heaven't sake? This isn't an update because it says NOTHING about the printer or how long that process will take. I mean, is it in the queue for the fifth time? Did I miss the part about fires and stuff?
As to the formatting, of the book proper, it's really odd to have paragraphs with spaces between them. They did it because they didn't indent the first line of each paragraph, which is kind of what normal books do. I mentioned it - no one cared.
Paragraphs with spaces between them? Didn't indent the first line of each paragraph? I wonder where the author could have seen that type of formatting?
Where? I have close to 6,000 books here - have not seen it in one of them. Maybe art books do it?

Where indeed. Check the text right above this sentence.
As for other places where such formatting is used, you can often find it in business correspondence, and sometimes in modern textbooks and manuals (hardly ever in older ones):

https://archive.org/details/ost-computer-science-the_art_of_unix_programming-1/page/n161/mode/1up
https://archive.org/details/ost-computer-science-connected/page/n7/mode/1up
https://archive.org/details/ost-engineering-metalsfull/page/n55/mode/1up
Textbooks may sometimes indent and also skip a line:

Or exclude both indents and line ships:

Still, these are exceptions, not the rule, even for texts.

Yep, I have books where paragraphs are indented, spaced, or indented AND spaced. The former are usually more fiction, the latter tend to be non-fiction books. I think spaced paragraphs are useful in some non-fiction books, especially reference works, as you can quickly find certain sections. Indented only paragraphs make more sense with books that are designed to be read through (as practically all fiction books).

Because there didn't seem to be much strategy at work for this Goldsmith electronic commerce product based on how things have unfolded!
