Clear instruction and well expressed analogies

In creating hypertexts, whether with media or simply an organisation of nodes it is difficult to know how to proceed and to create a text which is navaigatable and understandable to the user. This editted edition included very clear explanations of theory and research in this area. (Though only up to 1996 - of course) and explains the ideas behind the node structure and many of the grounbreakers in this area. There are clear reviews of research strings in the area as well as some great diagrams which well support the complexity of the text. It is these diagrams which are particularly worthwhile considering this is a book which talks about hypertext! The use of diagramatic representations, screen grabs and graphic outlines support your understanding. I had read from the library, borrowed it three times and have finally given in and acknowledged a need to own it!
