> Patrick's love (at least Patrick – I'm sure others) of books that he's discussed at length gives me some hope.
Definitely feels like this is directly channeling Patrick. It looks like Stripe Press is going to republish The Dream Machine, which he's recommended on more than one occasion.
They're also all hard cover books, probably in his own preference too.
I'm definitely a fan of this project but it'd be a mistake to attribute too much to me... it's led within Stripe by a team of very talented people.
I stand firmly corrected!
The entire team did an excellent job, and they definitely deserve credit here. It's very well made!
I wanted to buy the hardcover/paperback version of the "The Dream Machine" but it's all out of print everywhere. And I read on the Bloomberg article[0] about Patrick's buying the rights for the book. So I thought it would be really great if he somehow sells/republishes it. Now it's happening and I can't be happier.
On the other hand, I also ended up buying the kindle version and I can't say enough of how great the book is!
