The Problem
Paul Graham's essays are some of the best writing on startups, taste, and how to think. They've shaped a generation of founders. But reading them on paulgraham.com means squinting at plain HTML one essay at a time, with no good way to mark them up, lend them out, or read them away from a screen. And the list keeps growing, so any printed anthology is outdated the week it ships.
The Solution
A print-on-demand hardcover set that regenerates itself. When you order, the site scrapes paulgraham.com, typesets every essay into a 6″ × 9″ PDF, splits the result across three cloth-bound volumes, and sends them to Lulu for printing and shipping. The books you receive contain every essay PG has ever written, up to the moment you hit checkout.
