Ok, well, first: This map belongs in the Spells (also for systems) Section.
Second, it is nice someone made this, but it could be done Much easier!
Want me to show you?

12 pages...isn't that more like a brochure than a book?
can you add pictures to it? that would be awesome!
then it could be like one of those children's first book things.
lol i'm sorry if i'm being insulting...i'll check out the map later and post back letting you know what i thought about it. already downloaded it.

This system is really intersting, it's unique etc, I'd like to suggest uploading it to the database, but unfortunately it will be too difficult to create about 15 triggers for each book and this particular system is single-playred ;(

Yixx, can you suggest smth interesting on this topic?

And btw the pages are limited only by number of triggers, which creator used.

Pretty poor system, it uses like 24 odd triggers and does not let the map do much else.
You could atleast construct a JASS system to hande it, as that way you could make multiple books limated to a maximum length atleast 8192*256 characters long if not more if you use a system which allows data to e loaded and unloaded.

It is quite simple,,
Set Text[1] = Page1
Set Text[2] = Page2
Set Text[3] = Page3
And so on,,

Player 1 (red) presses the left arrow key

Set Page = (Page - 1)
Show text message: Text[Page]

Player 1 (red) presses the right arrow key

Set Page = (Page + 1)
Show Text Message: Text[Page]

Unfortunately, there's a 256 characters limit on strings.

Well the idea is neat. But the handeling is not quite so well.
I hope somebody will create a proper system like this.

Unfortunately, there's a 256 characters limit on strings.

That's no big problem.
You just need to make more strings.
Set Texta[1] = Page1
Set Textb[1] = Page1part2
Set Textc[1] = Page1part3

Then if page is 1 then show Texta[1] etc.

 

[Dr Super Good]

Displaying multiple strings neatly is a problem. Remember that WC3 lets you only manipulate 256 characters so you can only display 256 character per action.

 

[Airandius]

Well, it's always possible to just add more pages.

It's just unfortunate. I never said it was a real problem, it's just annoying.
