  Review: What an absolutely awesome item to own. My main interest with this was the sheet music which I was dying to play on the piano. They play pretty true to the original songs, the only difference being the timing, but if you know the songs pretty well, you can slow or speed up your pace as you play. It's not that hard to adjust. The script was also loads of fun to read. Joss tends to be hilarious in his scripts and there's some interesting detail in there which fleshes out the storyline a bit. I also liked the run through of the episode as well as the behind the scenes look. Especially hysterical was Joss' comment: "Probably the greatest highlight of the entire experience was when that goddamned fire engine hit its mark on the right note every time we shot it. That was the most extraordinary thing. I still don't know how they arranged that." Maybe it's just me, but I thought it was funny! Anyway, this book's a winner!
