About 1000 Golden Words

1000 Golden Words was founded on a quiet proposition: in an economy of infinite noise, the rarest luxury is an unhurried sentence printed on a surface built to last.

Our work spans three interconnected disciplines: we publish a free literary journal devoted to the history of reading and material culture; we issue meticulously typeset downloadable PDF monographs that readers can annotate on tablets or print on cotton paper; and we produce physical commonplace books and solid brass desk instruments in small archival batches.
