I can still hear Myst, the music, the sound of the tree as it rose into the sky. Kerbam! Kerbam! As a kid I wanted few things more than to open a book one day and find a linking page.

I remember being, at age 13 or so, in the library of the college my parents taught at, a year or three after Myst came out, and finding a book that was exactly the same (general) style as the linking books.

I have no idea what it actually contained at this late date, only that it was infinitely disappointing that it was not a linking panel. (Probably some sort of dry research.)
