I have a 21 inch monitor, it would be sweet if I could see those entire pages.

It has known to make graphic designers gasp and…even one that I know…weep [with joy].

Thank you for putting the images back up – we continue to link to your article on all copies offered.

Best,

While it is a brilliant text, in my experience the multiple perspectives and story telling is the universal value here.

Page presence and harmony preferences change over time and environment that people find themselves.
For example a mobile interface requires a different sensibility of presence and harmony.
While some may note that mobile interfaces were not considered by the author, let’s go to audio.

Consider a storyteller that has the text and is conveying the knowledge to an audience.
It may be possible to use a different page presence to cue the storyteller.
On the other hand the multiple perspectives and story values are intact.

Cheers,
Nick
