Scott, This looks great. As it happens, I'll be team teaching a course on the Essay Film this fall, so I'm sure this will be a wonderful resource. Thanks for the information!

Re: [Frameworks] self-promotion department
$79 is still cheap for a university press or academic title. We're so used to seeing them remaindered that we don't realize how expensive they are.

Re: [Frameworks] self-promotion department
Once the book is taught in a few college courses as a required textbook, used paperback copies will be readily available, and cost a fraction of the original copies. Chuck Kleinhans ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks
