The books are beautiful The books are beautiful. I ordered 2, one for me and one as a gift. Really love the experience of white text on black paper. Upon initial inspection, the ink on a few of the pages seems to be slightly faded. I know it happens at most any printer, but wanted to let you know for QC. The number of the gift book happens to be the birth month and year of the recipient, so that is an extra bonus! I look forward to your next project.

Original backer I’m a backer of the original Meditations project on Kickstarter, standard hardcover. There were many unforeseen production and shipping delays due to COVID, but Luis communicated to us the whole time. It was all typical of a crowdfund started during a global pandemic (I backed several other projects that all had similar or worse delays). The end product was a beautifully designed book; the slipcase, the cover, and the pages were all high quality that matched the price for the version I purchased. The only feature I wish was better, is that the text has a small number of places where it seems like not enough ink was used. The white doesn’t seem as full and bold as it could be. If there is a better white ink out there to use, I hope it’s used in future projects. But this doesn’t take away from the reading experience, it’s all clear enough to read without strain on my eyes. Lastly, I do like the subject they chose for the flagship volume as well as translation used. It’s clear and easy to follow which makes the read that much more enjoyable. I’ll definitely be backing/purchasing future Monochrome books.

Beyond expectation This is a beautiful book, and the the staff is wonderful. 11/10, because 5 stars just isn't enough. I'm extremely satisfied.

Great edition of Marcus Aurelius I have a fantastic edition of Marcus Aurelius’ Meditations. The black paper is great, the printing clear and the binding sturdy and well-done. A great addition to my collection, recommended.

Excellent quality. Really great book. Excellent quality. They also plant a tree for you or something. Didn’t look i to it much but glad it’s for a good cause. Will buy the next one they launch as well.
