	GIELGUD VAL British Radio Drama 1922-1956 : A Survey Harrap, U.K. 1957. First Edition, Hard Cover. Fine/Very Good. 207 pages, size 8 inches tall by 5.25 inches, with an index. With fifteen plates in half-tone. With a Foreword by Sir William Haley K.C.M.G. Director-General B.B.C. 1944-52. ' Val Gielgud has spent half his life with the British Broadcasting Corporation, and apart from six months on the Radio Times, has during the whole of this period been responsible for B.B.C. Radio Drama. Sir William Haley, in his foreword, says without exaggeration that "it is overwhelmingly due to Val Gielgud that broadcast drama has become what it is today, that many of the finest modern dramatists from abroad have first been introduced to British audiences by the B.B.C. and frequently the microphone has been the precursor of the theatre. No man is better able to tell the story of 'British Radio Drama 1922-56'." That the present moment should see the publication of this Survey is very appropriate. Faced with the competition of TV, the whole future of Broadcasting in Sound calls for re-appraisal, and its values for re-consideration. Can-and should-the play presented only through the medium of Sound survive ? If so, on what conditions, and with what aim in view ? How does the record of the B.B.C. stand, in this sphere of its cultural and entertainment activities ? These are some of the questions Mr Gielgud attempts to answer, and if his solutions are not definitive, his ideas are stimulating and provocative. Finally, in his chapter on " The Business of Production " Mr Gielgud, as a realistic and professional guide, takes the reader behind the microphone and into the studios '. Book - in Fine [much better than Very Good] bright red boards with blue lettering - just a touch bumped to the extreme top of the spine. Contents, light browning to the front enpapers, title pages, and page edges. Dust Jacket - Very Good - light wear to the top of the spine, repaired to verso, slight sunning to the spine, light marking to the white background. An Attractive Copy. Shipped Weight: 750gms-1kgm.

	WEDELL E G Broadcasting and Public Policy Michael Joseph, U.K. 1968. First Edition, Hard Cover. Near Fine/Very Good. From The Michael Joseph Live Issues Series. 370 pages with an index. "Broadcasting services have been part of the life of most Western countries for about forty years[at the time of publication]. Since the end of the Second World War television services have also been added to sound radio. In the last ten years or so television has effectively ousted sound radio as the major medium of mass communication, and more recently the use of the air space has been challenged by pirate operators. Local broadcasting is under discussion as are various forms of educational broadcasting; thus a good deal of broadcasting lore is in the melting pot. In general the broadcasting system in this country has turned out to be reasonably satisfactory. What no one knows is whether a better system might have emerged if the questions asked from time to time had been more penetrating, and if the significance of the broadcasting services for aspects of public policy, such as regionalisation, or education, or the arts, had been more carefully considered before the system had hardened into a particular pattern. It is therefore worth looking at some of the questions which remain open and to see whether any particular courses are more desirable (and from what point of view) than others. The purpose of this book is to do this. It tries to elicit the relationship of broadcasting to public policy; to examine the structures through which successive governments have sought to express their policies on broadcasting; and to discuss some of the choices which are open to us in the future." Book - Near Fine [better than Very Good - just a hint of a bump to the extreme bottom of the spine, faint spotting to the page edges. Dust Jacket - Very Good - half an inch or so closed tear to the top of the spine strengthened to verso, slight creasing and rubbing to the bottom edges, orange colour sunned to the spine and slight grubbiness to the white background. Even though this was written back in the 1960's, it is still an interesting read and to see how the broadcasting world has progressed. Shipped Weight: 750gms-1kgm. Category: Film, Television & Radio Inventory No: 99912919. GBP 7.50 [Appr.: EURO 8.5 US$ 12.46 \| JP¥ 1101] Book number: 99912919 Click here to order or inquire at John T. & Pearl Lewis.
