When One Cannot Afford to Own the Merely Affordable
While the hoi polloi delight endlessly in disposable adornments and the parvenu in vulgar displays of new wealth, a reader of distinction holds oneself to a far more exacting standard. It is to those qualified to savor the luxuriating delights of handmade bookcraft that we offer this exquisite, limited-edition masterwork.
The Fine Art of Letterpress
The old-world printing method remains the finest. As polymer plate comes in violent collision with the superfine page, it deposits ink into the recess it creates. The printed piece borne from this tempestuous marriage of machine and paper forever retains this dark and beautiful impression, like a child, scarred-yet-strengthened by memories of forever quarreling parents. Go on- touch the page. But be warned. As you touch it, so it will touch you.
Bound to be The Best
No great work of art is achieved without suffering. The genuine goatskin cover that not so long ago served merely to sheath the life-support system for a grazing mass of distasteful meat has been painstakingly transformed by leather artisans into a supple, full-grain book cover of unsurpassed elegance.* Ignoble beast- in death thou art perfected.
A Worthy Chest for a Treasure of Printcraft
Just as a hardcover is hardly a fitting enclosure for the handmade pages within, so too would a cardboard box be unworthy of the handbound book. Hence our commissioning of a vessel worthy of its contents. Created in collaboration with acclaimed humidor manufacturer Daniel Marshall, this limited-edition Art of Demotivation Book Coffer can serve either as home to this sacred management text, or as a fully-functional cigar humidor. Apple brandy, anyone?
One of a Kind, Like You
The masses delight in things mass-produced. But not you. In purchasing this wonderment of word, take comfort in knowing that only five-hundred editions have been authorized. Each book and coffer has been numbered, with no more to be produced hereafter.
