    Would anyone like to give this book a new home?

    If more than one person is interested, I'll draw a name next weekend. I'm happy to ship via Priority or Media, whichever the winner prefers.

    Interactive Multimedia; Visions of Multimedia for Developers, Educators, & Information Providers; foreword by John Sculley; edited by Sueann Ambron, Ed.D. and Kristina Hooper, Ph.D. (both Apple employees); Microsoft Press; copyright 1988; 340+ pages; softcover; very good condition 'cept for small corner folds and scuffing to the covers; has my name handwritten in ink on the first page, from when the book was new

    From the Preface... "This collection of articles was compiled after an invitational conference on Multimedia in Education held June 19 and 20, 1986. Participants were selected because they are leaders in writing about and building examples of multimedia presentation."

    Thanks! :)

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    Not for me, but... just commenting that it is sort of a historical book at this point. It might be interesting to somebody from that angle. And the editors were Apple employees, but the book was published by Microsoft Press? Was there more collaboration between the two companies back then?

    Your thoughts are a lot like mine, Fig. If I remember correctly, there was a lot more collaboration back then in the new areas of multimedia, hypertext, etc., with conferences, panel discussions, etc.

    The book isn't so much a "how to guide" as articles by different authors presenting theoretical discussions of interactive multimedia. I do think it's interesting from an historical viewpoint.
