The River

Some time ago I began a short book of poems using the iBook Author tool - which, as far as I know, is the only easy to use tool for creating multimedia books. It is restricted to Apple's iBook store [and I pray that the judgement in the U.S. courts won't abort the bookstore!].  Apple as from the beginnings of its own word processor, Pages,  been the leader in multimedia for writing, and its development of iBook Author is only the most recent addition to this forward looking approach to writing.

Well I finished the book - I put a print version up on lulu.com.  I sent The River to Apple and received a return with a minor problem in the file to repair... I did that, but for several days after, the Apple site one must sent books to was down.  Then I was busy with the first day of a new term teaching at the University of Guelph and the University of Guelph/Humber began.  Today I will try again.....
