Thanks for the bump, guys!
Anyway, I have some mixed news for you...
First (good news), the final manuscript is ready and is undergoing final edits/proofreading as we speak.
Second (bad news), we'll need at least another week or so to get this puppy out to RPG Now. It's been a labour of love, so it has taken longer than expected, but we do want to make this product the best it can be. Post-edits, we also have to submit the work for layout to Phil Reed), approve a pending cover (from Christopher Shy), and finalize some more art from Cara Mitten.
Then, we'll be ready to rock - and rock this product will!
We think it will be worth the wait, but we're biased. Rest assured, though: we are working our posteriors off to get this book out as soon as we can!
In the meanwhile, here are a few more juicy tidbits to tide you over...
The template count now stands at 70.
There are over 60 new monsters (created with templates, naturally)
There are 14+ mini-templates (variations on the 70 templates, above)
There are over 40 new spells and rituals for creating new critters (the flavorful way) and for general use in your campaign.
There are 24+ unique creatures, characters, and NPCs.
Perhaps Khur will drop by and provide some more details, but he is busy doing the final edits
Cheers!

I'll go halvsies wit' ya....
If you want a half-kobold, we got one. Shout out if you want it in the book.
So, I have a list of PC races from the BoT. While some other example critters can certainly find their way into a game through DM translation, these 15 races have traits defined in the book. (I thought 15 was a good, round number.)
The list:
Ansikvol (half-human/half krenshar, ECL 1)
Caraigh-sidhe 1 (half-vampire/half-elf, ECL 2)
Elder Hart (sentient deer, ECL 2, counting 2 HD)
Feral Gnome 2 (ECL 1)
Goblin Spider (3 types!, ECL 2 or 6. This latter figure counting 3 HD)
Half-Tusker (half ebon servitor orc, ECL 1)
Kyampasas 3 (centipede-folk, ECL 0)
Lagartrow (half-lizardfolk/half-drow, ECL 3, counting 2 HD)
Lekassi Halfling (ECL 1)
Padrafyte (half-human/half-medusa, ECL 3)
Pluggar 4 (half-duergar/half-orc, ECL 1)
Sidhe (half-elf, celestial, enchanted, spirit, ECL 8, counting 4 HD)
Skjonniss 5 (half-nymph/half-goblin ECL 1)
Thunderhead Dwarves 6 (miniature cloud giants, ECL 7, counting 4 HD)
Truagekin (dragon-blooded dwarves, ECL 1)
1 Frilf says these are just "wrong" and DMs all over will be bugged to allow them in a game. What do you think about the blood elves? Yes, the same is a pseudo-Celtic translation of Tolkien's "sereg", Sindarin for "blood".
2 Given Frilf's penchant for gnomes, you knew this was coming. No illusionists here, just slope-browed shorties, tougher than nails, heads like hammers.
3 These li'l guys rock. 3 ft., multi-limbed barbarian anyone?
4 Ugly li'l beardies with magical powers. The name, well, it is nearly Norwegian for "pig", if you'll forgive me.
5 "Pretty Goblin", sorta.
6 Not your average beardie. Not for your average game.
Well?

We interrupt this thread to bring you the following insight into Frilf's psyche:
Well, given that I'm actually the size of a half-orc (in real life), gnomes provide an extra dimension of escapism for me when I game. Admittedly, I'm playing a half-orc monk now, but that's beside the point...
We now return this thread to its regularly-scheduled topic

Take the time to do everything right. I've been eagerly anticipating this since I heard the upgrade anouncement, but it is better to get little details right than to get it out the door a week earlier.
Very cool that this time around there are rituals and spells to create some of the templates.
