- To this list I would add two more: Jay Bolter's _Writing Space_, described
- by Ernest Perez in a previous posting (already read it, but thanks anyway,
- Ernest), and George Landow's _Hypertext_ (there's a subtitle to this one,
- but I forgetwhat it is--anyone who needs it should drop me a line and I'll
- dig out the reference). Landow's book starts out being heavily invested in
- literary theory, so if that's not your thing you'll need to do some skimming,
- but once you get past that there's some good background and some solid thinking
- on several aspects of hypertext. Bolter first, though.
