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.
