About Monochromebooks

Books printed on BLACK PAPER By combining beauty and aesthetics with literature, we’ve developed a unique experience that makes reading more enjoyable. Printed and bound using centuries-old techniques, traditions, and technologies, each special edition will represent a piece of history. These processes are longer, harder, and more expensive than ordinary printing, but the final result is something extraordinarily beautiful.

I feel very satisfied with the end… I feel very satisfied with the end product. The timing for such a venture was unfortunate with Covid and the resulting supply chain issues but Luis did a fine job of producing a quality book, especially it being his first attempt. I, personally, would have liked a few more updates on the progress. I’m certain subsequent books will be more timely and will definitely consider purchasing more, depending on the title.

Wonderful Book, and Transparency! I love the book they've produced. There were delays, and they were always transparent about then process and delays. Despite those delays I plan on supporting them in the future with their next projects.

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.
