The BOOK is a revolutionary breakthrough in technology: no wires,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,yet it is powerful enough to hold as much information as a CD-ROM disc. Each BOOK is constructed of sequentially numbered sheets of paper (recyclable), each capable of holding thousands of bits of information. each sheet is scanned optically,registering information directly into your brain. A flick of the finger takes you to the next sheet. The BOOK never crashes and never needs re booting. The "browse" feature allows you to move instantly to any sheet. many 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. The BOOK is ideal for long term archive use. several field trials have proved that the medium will still be readable in several centuries' time. You can also make personal notes next to BOOK text entries with an optional programming tool, the Portable Erasable Nib Cryptic  Intercommunication Language Stylus (PENCILS). The BOOK's appeal seems so certain that thousands of content creators have committed to the platform

A letter from an employment agency to Jesus, circa AD30

Thank you for submitting the resumes of the 12 men you have picked for managerial positions in your new organisation. all of them have now taken our tests; we have also arranged personal interviews for each of them with our psychologist and vocational aptitude consultant.

It is the staff opinion that most of your nominees are lacking in background,education and vocational aptitude for the type of enterprise you are undertaking.

Simon Peter is emotionally unstable and given to fits of temper.Andrew has absolutely no qualities of leadership. The two brothers,James and John, the sons of Zebedee,place personal interest above company loyalty. Thomas demonstrates a questioning attitude that would tend to undermine morale. we feel that it is our duty to tell you that Matthew has been blacklisted by the Greater Jerusalem Better Business Bureau. James, the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus definitely have radical leanings, and they both registered a high score on the manic depressive scale.

One of the candidates, however, shows great potential. He is a man of ability and resourcefulness, meets people well,has a keen business mind, and has contacts in high places. He is highly motivated,ambitious and responsible. We recommend Judas Iscariot as your controller and right hand man. All the other profiles are self explanatory.

We wish you every success in your new venture.
