{An output routine for an illustrated book} {Boris Veytsman} {Output routines involving illustrations (``floating bodies'' in the \LaTeX\ lingo) are the most complex part of \TeX. For the most part, algorithms used in \TeX\, \LaTeX\ and \ConTeXt\ the basic concept is the flow of text, occasionally interrupted by illustrations that can be placed anywhere close the the point they are mentioned. The story is told mainly by the text, and illustrations have the secondary role. We discuss the different case of an \emph{illustrated book}, where the main story is told by the illustrations and their interaction. The simplest examples of such books are art albums. Another (surprising) example is the \textsl{\acro{FAO} Statistical Yearbook}, where the story is told primarily by maps, charts and tables, while text has the secondary role. We describe a concept of a relatively simple output routine for such books and its implementation in \LaTeX.}
