Dear Patty,

It looks to me like a great project (in all senses). And it has a feature
that definitively I found I love: it will be probably an endless work.

The layout is beautiful, but it can be improved a little, I think. It seems
a good format for a book, but for a web page, I would like to have bigger
images and fonts, and also not a so long page (which takes a lot of time to
download): maybe a more tree-like estructure would be more comfortable to
browse.

Of course, if I could be of help, just let me know.

Regards,
