Abstract
A method of producing publications comprises the steps of: displaying an image of a publication; varying the image of the publication through an image transformation process on the basis of screen transit operation information; reading raster image data by page to be linked on the publication; superimposing raster image data selected on the basis of link information on an image of a page in the publication selected on the basis of the screen transit operation information; and producing a publication from association of the selected page with raster image data for the selected page. A network system comprises one or more host computers (HPC) and a plurality of client computers (CPC), connected to each other via a network, for reading an electronic publication, and displaying an image of the publication having raster image data linked to each page. The HPC and CPCs via the network mutually transfer information of a page of the publication displayed or to be displayed at the CPCs. The HPC reduces and displays an image of the page in the publication displayed or to be displayed at the CPCs in a line.
