There is an inherent paradox in creating a website and virtual visual tour for a bookshop dedicated to the written word. Yet it must be acknowledged that even the most florid prose cannot begin to describe the visual cacophony of the shop and Tumbleweed Hotel, places whose book-lined walls assault the visual sense. Fortunately, there are new technologies that allow a new type of illustration which will be used to attempt to compensate for the failings of the written word.
