This made me go pull my copy of The Last Whole Earth Catalog (1971) off the shelf, haven't looked at it in decades. The small boxes you refer to all had a small illustration of a dragon-like creature (kind of like a crocodile) at the top, an icon of sorts to guide you to that text box. Not sure, but it may have had something to do with the story itself, as the last page in the catalog (over 400 large pages!) seems to have a conclusion with a much more elaborate illustration.
FYI, it was named "Divine Right's Trip" by Gurney Norman.
Now I'll be spending some more hours re-visiting this treasure from my teenage years.

Some strong winds destroyed it though, after I had skinned part of it with poly sheeting. Our across-the-street neighbor called the school to have them tell me and they let me go home early!
