The
purpose of this GlennLoneyBookShop sub-site in the ArtsArchive.biz
website is to make easily available out-of-print books, previously unpublished
manuscripts, essays, reports, critiques, and interviews that their author
believes will be of both special interest and practical use for a varied
read-audience. The author holds the copyright to all of these titles. Should
there be interest in publishing any of these titles in print as bound-books, the
author welcomes enquiries.
Initially, in order to make the various texts immediately available for
online-reading or print-out, they have been simply formatted, with no
photographs or other illustrations. As there are a number of titles-and some
texts are still in the process of scanning, editing, and formatting-useful
photos and graphics will be added later.
Most of the titles have been provided with a form of chat-room so that readers
can share additional information that can be incorporated in the texts, offer
helpful comments, and even correct misspellings and editorial glitches.
If there is urgent need for illustrations that obviously would be useful in
connection with some texts-especially in course-work with students - it may be
possible to scan and e-mail such photos and sketches before they are added to
the printed-texts, but there would have to be an extra charge for such services,
as this project is not subsidized and thus has to be self-sustaining.
Many of the photographs will be drawn from the author's 50-year worldwide
INFOTOGRAPHY archive of photos he has made of Art, Architecture, Historical
Subjects, Landmarks, Landscapes, Monuments, Theatres, Performances, Posters,
Lifestyles, Fashions, Folklore, Patterns, Designs, and other special categories
of images
http://www.infotography.biz/.
Once this sub-site is well-established, it may be possible to make available
online the texts and manuscripts of other authors who have not been able to find
a print-publisher for them. Several of the author's graduate-students have
interesting manuscripts that deserve some form of publication, but-like some of
the author's own titles-have too limited an appeal for publishers seeking titles
that will sell 150,000 copies or more.
The oldest Glenn Loney text was published in 1959 by McGraw-Hill. At that time,
it was the first text to deal with problems of Briefing & Conferencing, a
subject the author was teaching US military-officers for the University of
Maryland Overseas, in Europe, North Africa, and the Middle-East. It was written
in an outline-form to make it easy to use as a handbook. Now, it has been
updated as Making Your Point, but the original principals are still
entirely valid.
I have revised the previously-published books-to which I hold the copyright-as
well as the unpublished manuscripts, with a scrupulous re-editing and up-dating
where it seemed advisable. Here is a list of titles, some of which are still
in process. Books that are in print are also listed below, but there are not
available on this website.
