Greetings! ScoreKeeper here bathing in my own generosity before bestowing heaps of it upon the Ain't It Cool readership. Earlier this week I posted a glowing review of a freshly published film music related book entitled "KEEPING SCORE: Interviews with Today's Top Film, Television, and Game Music Composers" by Tom Hoover (founder and producer of ScoreNotes.com)

I received an email from Tom who mentioned he has three copies of his book that he would like to give away. I told him he was crazy and assured him nobody who reads Ain't It Cool deserves to get a free copy of his book. He was persistent and so I relented.

As a result, I have three copies of Tom's book which I will give away to three very lucky Ain't It Cool readers.

So what do you have to do?

Email me at scorekeeper@aintitcool.com with the subject: I Love KEEPING SCORE! Include your full name, mailing address, a valid email address, and then look at the list of composers interviewed in this book (see below) and tell me which one you're most interested in reading and why. All entries will be gathered together and three will be randomly selected to receive a copy of KEEPING SCORE courtesy of Tom Hoover.

The deadline will be Saturday, November 14th, 2009, at 11:59PM EST. Only one entry per person please. International entries accepted. Duplicates will be discarded.
