Unlike in Part 1 the pieces are described in a strange, LISP-like format. Is this ZoG code? I doubt it is a good idea to write articles in a programming language, rather than plain English... Programming languages are for running them in a computer, possibly after downloading. It seems to me the article should be accompanied by some 'viewer software' (e.g. in JavaScript) to present it to the user in a more digestible format. (E.g. calling up a description by clicking on the piece in the main image, or selecting a name from a pull-down menu with only names in alphabetical order.)

Also, 'Volume' is usually a courser subdivision than 'part'. Sub-divisions of 'parts' are usually called 'chapters' or 'sections'.
