Twenty years ago Voyager published the first edition of 3Sixty, a catalog celebrating the emerging forms of new media. Most of the titles were from Voyager, but there was a selection of others from Gallimard, Dorling Kindersley, Microsoft and others. The design (Alexander Isley) and writing (Ashton Applewhite) are particularly noteworthy. One of my favorite bits is the account on page 46 of a reader’s first experience with an ebook.

Dear Bob Stein, Would you upload the voyager company software to the internet archive?
Yes, Andrew. This is something we’ve been discussing with the IA for some time. We’re waiting on them to perfect an emulator.
