  • Printed. Personal. Permanent.

    In an age of algorithmic sameness, we’re committed to the timeless value of print. Each volume is designed to be held, studied, displayed—even jealously hoarded. With stunning photography, orginal art, and long- and short-form storytelling, we’re documenting the cultural fringe with a sense of reverance and respect typically reserved for the traditional canon.

Excerpts from Volume One

It's so hard to forget pain, but it's even harder to remember sweetness. We have no scar to show for happiness. We learn so little from peace.

You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning.
