What a great book! I've been addressing some of these subjects for several years in my USC class, but nothing as thorough and all-encompassing as Borum has accomplished. He has addressed all of the current scoring issues with forthright and honest information. This book will be an invaluable tool for our next generation of film composers. I will certainly be adding it to the top of my mandatory reading list for my class.
