Well, almost....we're hoping to have the book printed and ready to ship within 1 month. My designer is working on the book as we speak. So it won't be long now. Barring any unforeseeable problems, the 1 month deadline is very likely.

I'll probably start taking pre-orders in 2 weeks.

I can't believe I finally finished this book....a whopping 300 pages all about rhythm!

Rough Cover attached....
