In addition to the demo books themselves, we’ve posted several movies demonstrating the capabilities of Sophie 1.0. At about a minute each, these clips provide a cursory glance at a variety of our books, complete with hopefully unobtrusive narration by yours truly.
[1] Candyman — A digital edition of John Gibbs’s “Candyman” essay, originally published by Wallflower Press.
[2] Cookbooks — Librarian and avid cookbook collector Kim Beeman shares some of her favorite rarities.
[3] Gettysburg Address — As Holladay wrote earlier this month, this is a multimodal presentation of the Address’s five drafts.
[4] Nomination Speech Visualizations — Also mentioned in a previous if:book post, this book combines worldle.net visualizations with transcripts and audio recordings of presidential nomination speeches.
[5] Robert Winter’s Mozart — A close reading of Mozart’s Dissonant Quartet, ported from a popular Voyager CD-ROM with new features.
We welcome any and all feedback.
