As mentioned above, I think the site could do with a few tweaks just to make it a bit smoother to read and the vertical navigation would certainly help, particularly with just two links on the second line currently as they feel slightly out of place somewhat. I think I'd also get rid of the hover attribute and perhaps alter the header but, aside from that, keeping it to a fairly minimalistic feel will work just fine for the site in my eyes.
Again, as mentioned, I really love the idea behind the Forgotten Words piece, perhaps not quite so much the execution but certainly the idea. There are things with the design I don't particularly like e.g. on page 10, having the gradient box in the background just seems out of place and not necessary for me, whilst I'm also not a huge fan of the way the conversations on that page are set out. But, again, the idea is great.
For design, I do particularly like the Dazzle Camouflage booklet, it feels a bit quirky and a bit different, whilst the way it folds out seems appropriate, too. I feel like I've seen both Connections and Memory done a few times before though. They look good by all means, but I'm sure I've seen them done almost identically before.
