New Technology Discovery
------------------------
   Announcing the new Built-in Orderly Organized Knowledge (B.O.O.K.).
It's a revolutionary breakthrough in technology: no wires, no electrical
circuits, no batteries, nothing to be connected or switched on.  It's so
easy to use even a child can operate it.  Just lift its cover.  Compact
and portable, it can be used anywhere -- even sitting in an armchair by
the fire -- yet it is powerful enough to hold as much information as
a CD-ROM disk.
   Here's how it works: each BOOK is constructed of sequentially
numbered
sheets of paper (recyclable), each capable of holding thousands of bits
of information. These pages are locked together with a custom fit device
called a binder which keeps the sheets in their correct sequence.  By
using
both sides of each sheet, manufacturers are able to double the amount of
information stored.
   Each sheet is optically scanned, thus registering information
directly
into your brain.  A flick of the finger takes you to the next sheet.
The
BOOK may be taken up at any time and used by merely opening it.  The
"browse"
feature allows you to move instantly to any sheet, and move forward or
backward as you wish.  Most come with an "index" feature, which
pinpoints
the exact location of any selected information for instant retrieval.
   An optional "BOOKMARK" accessory allows you to open the BOOK to the
exact
place you left it in a previous session - even if the BOOK has been
closed.
BOOKMARKS fit universal design standards, thus a single BOOKMARK can be
used in many different BOOKs from various manufacturers.
   Portable, durable, and affordable, the BOOK is the entertainment wave
of the future.  Many new titles are expected soon due to the popularity
of its main programming tool, the Portable, Erasable Nib Cryptic
Intercommunication Language Stylus.
