Bundle of goodies dropped of by Gary Viccars back in early May

Betty Viccars (daughter of Muriel and Jo Carroll) took the time to describe her world growing up in Fyansford back in the early to mid-'90s. This Fyansford.com digital publication is taken directly from an original copy of a text typed by Betty back in the early 1980s. See detail in her son's blog Gary Viccars' Page.

The original flipbook was a small book with a series of printed images which create the illusion of motion when the pages of the book are rapidly flipped.
The modern e-flipbook is a digital interactive version that looks just like a printed publication, with pages that can be flipped and turned. It preserves the regular 'appearance' of a paper book but includes interactive elements.
e-flipbooks are more 'traditional' and engaging then the customary flowing-down-the-page PDF-type document.


Pages in an e-flipbooks can be viewed singly
or as double-page spreads.
Viewing single pages allows access to links
if provided.
