The Chairman

Privilege has its Privileges

When One Can Not 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.

$2500

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.

A Worthy Chest for a Treasure

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?
