This week, Routledge sent me the page proofs (in PDF format) and I’ve diligently started compiling the index for the book.

The layout looks terrific. I think we chose just the right size images (almost 300 of them) — not so small that you can’t make out what’s in them and not so large that they crowd the text. What we did to give them a bit more room is bleed them into the margin just a little. Worked great.

I’m going to post the PDF of the Introduction here on the site soon.

Looks like the final book will run 270 pages.

Look for it in book stores soon! In fact, you can already pre-order it from Amazon and other online venders.

Thanks to everyone at Routledge who has supported this project.

• A draft copy of the Introduction, “Dare We Look Closely at Television?,” as a PDF file.
• Approximately 300 illustrations, every single image from the book–enlarged and, when appropriate, in color.
• Several illustrative tables–some découpages (sequence analyses)–that had to be reduced for print. We here provide enlarged versions of several of them, along with color images.
• 14 videos that tie in with Television Style discussions of editing, visual effects (especially morphing), sound, and camera movement.
• The beginnings of a link directory. Every online resource cited in Television Style will eventually be included, along with links to additional resources.

And, of course, we also added ordering information (now available for pre-order from Amazon.com!) and a contact form.

Let us know what you think of the site and what you’d like to see added.
