Abstract: A printed illustrated text, printed alphabetical text and printed illustrated index are all correlated to a set of recordings intended for audio visual display and which are in turn topically arranged. In addition the illustrated index may by themselves be recorded in their entireties for audio visual display. The illustrated text is presented by a main written portion heavily pictorialized by a key illustration and ancillary illustrations arranged in a predetermined sequence with ancillary supporting information. A conspicuously displaying cross-reference listing refers to other pertinent illustrated texts and topical audio visual recordings. The alphabetical text is correlated to pertinent portions of the illustrated text by having, on pertinent pages thereof, key illustrations from the illustrated text. It, in addition, carries cross-references to pertinent optical audio visual recordings as well as to other pertinent information in the system.

Abstract: A heavily illustrated, integrated and correlated system topically arranging information for ready location and comprehension through short descriptions, picture stories, expanded illustrated narratives, or combinations thereof, which are complete in and of themselves, and are cross-referenced and indexed by both illustrations and words or combinations of same. An illustrated comprehensive text, an illustrated alphabetical text, and an illustrated index cooperate to arrange the information within the system.The illustrated comprehensive text includes numerous articles on selected subjects. Each article includes a main written text, and is heavily pictorialized with a key illustration and ancillary illustrations arranged in a predetermined sequence. Ancillary text, directed only to the illustrations, is disposed proximate to its respective illustration and is correspondingly sequenced. Cross referencing is accomplished by a listing disposed conspicuously in a marginal position.
