"First off, any Myst fan should really check out the Book of Atrus novel.
Very well written, great story, and it fills in a lot of the background to
what happens in the game, as well as offering many a tantalizing hint to the
plot of "Myst II".

You'll also find out all about the 5th World of Ghen (seen in the calendar).

(3) Myst: The Book of Ti'ana

Cyan released this new book, the second of the three-book series, on
October 24 and is offering a promotional package. It describes the events
about Anna's (later known as Ti'ana) life and her travels to D'ni as the
first explorer.

(4) Myst: The Book of D'ni

The third book of the series is about to be released in Fall 1997, and
is published by Hyperion Books. The story should include Atrus, but at
what point in the timeline is not known yet. Check out the following
WWW site for a preview of the novel:

(5) From Myst to Riven: the Creations and Inspirations

"Actually, Hyperion (the publisher of the Myst novels) is counting on a
lot of people wanting this information. They've made a coffee table
book called "From Myst to Riven: the Creations and Inspirations", by
Richard Kadrey. It's due out this fall (possibly October 13). It's
packed with hi-res renderings, original design drawings, and detailed
explanations of almost every aspect of the development of Riven. It's
even got a section on the D'ni language, for those of you who are
interested. :)"

Meanwhile, get the first two books, especially if you are interested
in the history of the D'ni and the worlds they created. They are a
good read, as I have experienced myself.

Subject: [6-4] Myst Calendar 1997
Date: 11/20/1996

A small image of this calender can be viewed at this location:

<URL:http://206.107.159.125/online/Gear/Calendar>

From Mark H. DeForest (edited):

"Actually, a number of the images in the calendar are "custom made". Because
all the screen shots for Myst are rendered from 3-D models, it's *real* easy
to change the position of the camera, change the position of the sun and
re-render a new image. (My personal favorite is looking down at Stoneship
from above the telescope.)"
