Virtual books online

Hi,

 

on my research for traditional medieval designs, I stumbled across the following:

You will need the .net framework 3.0 and the shockwave plugin along with a little piece of software that automatically installs when entering the page (be careful when you´re at work, the network administrators might haunt you for that).

I have honestly never seen such a thing on the net, and it´s absolutely free.

 

Downside is, that it´s painfully slow on my ole `puter and slow internet, so a powerful machine might be better...

 

You can also view some nice stuff on the main site, free Galleries and stuff:

Have fun,
