Awww, what a horrible website. I know its trying to look like a book, but
this is the web! I was sitting there clicking on the "Open Library" image
with no luck thinking it was a splash screen. The navigation stuff on the
right hand side was a bit screwed up with the size of my web browser so I
didn't spot it at first and even when I did, I assumed that the arrows
applied to the "listen" button next to them (which I didn't bother with as
I don't have speakers on my workstation). When I did happen to click on
the right hand "page" to flip it over, the left hand edge of the new left
hand page was cut off until I resized my browser window.
Whatever happened to good old fashioned straight HTML, eh?
