Hi David,

On last september we did an exhibition on both sides of the Channel, in the Canterbury Cathedral and in Rouen library. These exhibitions showed about twenty digital books seen through the desktop software, built from some of the most spectacular manuscripts of these two institutions. You can see a coverage by BBC South East here: http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-23946914.
You can have a look at an example book through the Web version of the software here: http://www.docexplore.eu/reader/
Or, you can just look at a video summing it up here: https://vimeo.com/62353489
I hope it helps, ----------------------------------------------------- Dr. Pierrick Tranouez Research Engineer LITIS EA 4108 http://www.litislab.eu/Members/ptranouez/ Tel: 332 32 95 51 20 Mob: 336 78 79 83 65
