Charlotte Johnson and William Harroff co-developed (r)Evolutionary (e)Books, a cutting edge program of online happenings where audiences are invited to re-imagine the book, recognize the creative potential of the book in electronic form and expand the definition of ebooks beyond the narrow one propagated by commercial publishers. Follow the authors on their fascinating visual journey of Egypt just before the Arab Spring in residence at an important book arts symposium, exhibiting in Cairo during the Biennale, then visiting the pyramids, Sphinx, Luxor, the Egyptian Museum, the Valley of the Kings, Alexandria and the magnificent new Alexandrian Library on the Nile Cruise.



The "Brother Bill & Sister Char Traveling Tour” included events in Australia, China, the United Kingdom, Japan, Egypt, Mexico and across the United States. (r)Evolutionary (e)Books has included workshops at institutions and conferences such as the Future of the Book in Cairns, Australia; the Library and Information Technology Association National Forum; the Metropolitan New York Library Council; and the 1st joint conference of the Art Libraries Society of North America / Visual Resources Association. The (r)Evolutionary (e)Books model was selected as a 2002 Best Practice by the Illinois State Library and, in 2003, by the University of Calgary for their Best Practices in e-Learning Conference. The authors have held faculty positions at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, Oklahoma State University and McKendree University.
