Awesome

Thanks to Cambridge for providing such an awe-inspiring resource.

Audio

I have the latest iOS on iPad Pro and sound all the way up yet no sound comes out of those videos. Wondering what I'm doing wrong?

Informative and innovative

An impressive multimedia exploration of six influential books at the University of Cambridge. The large file size contains full digitisations and numerous videos for each book. Highly recommended for anyone interested in history, science or culture.

Fascinating

A fascinating journey into the masterpieces held in CUL.

Brilliant!

This is amazing - it feels like I'm seeing the real books on the screen, much better than an e-book. And they're so beautiful as well.
