The companion Website for the forthcoming book, *Television Style*, has just
been launched:

http://www.tvstylebook.com

*Television Style* dissects how style signifies and what significance it has
had in specific television contexts. Using hundreds of frame captures from
television programs, *Television Style* dares to look closely at television.
*Miami Vice*, *ER*, soap operas, sitcoms, and commercials, among other
prototypical television texts, are deconstructed in an attempt to understand
how style functions in television. *Television Style* also assays the state
of style during an era of media convergence and the ostensible demise of
network television.

*Television Style* is a much needed introduction to television style, and
essential reading at a moment when the medium is undergoing radical
transformation, perhaps even a stylistic renaissance.

Its companion Website features:

   - A draft copy of the Introduction, “Dare We Look Closely at
   Television?,” which surveys the literature on television (and film) style
   and advances the case for the stylistic analysis of the medium.
   - Approximately 300 illustrations (see below), 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 them,
   along with color images.
   - 14 videos that tie in with *Television Style*'s discussions of editing,
   visual effects (especially morphing), sound, and camera movement. (Most of
   these are password-protected. The password is telestylistics .)
   - The beginnings of a link directory. Every online resource cited
in *Television
   Style* will eventually be included, along with links to additional
   resources.
   - Ordering information.

*Television Style* is scheduled to be published by Routledge this fall. You
may pre-order it from Routledge or online booksellers. Also,
lecturers/professors may request a 60-day examination copy. Orders may be
placed at:
