I have been interested for some time in experimenting
with a full-length book on the Web, to discover whether
the WWW/Mosaic technology, which is so brilliantly designed
for suave presentations of a few pages, can cope with entities
which are much longer. <p>

Accordingly, I am publishing my <I>The Greek & Roman Cities of
Western Turkey</i> on the Web before I do so in print, not only
because I believe the web is a splendid medium for work (such
as mine) which involves more illustrations than a publisher
will usually handle, but because I want to see whether such
100,000-word monsters are manageable electronically.<p>

To make reading easier, I have sliced the book up into discrete
HTML documents, several for each chapter. This should speed up
access, and will allow the user to start wherever is desired,
because I have tagged "continuing" chapters with the hotspot
<i>continues...</i>, and there are hotspots to ALL chapters
at the bottom of EVERY HTML document.<p>

At the top and bottom of each document are displayed icons which
allow access to the various services, and also to the main ArtServe
menu, so a quick escape should be easy!<p>

The icons are as follows:<p>

<a href="help.html">This document  <img align=top src="help.gif"><p>

<a href="toc1.html">The Table of Contents for the Book<img align=top src="toc.gif"><p>

<a href="db.html">Database searching for images associated with the book<img align=top src="db2.gif"><p>
<a href="text.html">The TextSearcher<img align=top src="text.gif"><p>
<a href="/index2.html">The main ArtServe Menu<img align=top src="menu.gif"><p>
<a href="pic.html">Images relevant to the current HTML document<img align=top src="pic.gif"></a>
