The Compressed Book Edition
How to make books more sustainable? Inspired by the image compression on our solar-powered website, we squeezed the article catalog of our three-volume book series into just one book.
Industrial book publishing and distribution involves wood harvesting, pulp and paper production, printing, ink-making, and lots of shipping throughout the supply chain. Nevertheless, while those uncompressed books remain the most comfortable option for reading Low-tech Magazine, we expect a significant part of potential buyers to opt for the more compact edition, as it provides the most bang for the buck. For the redesigned uncompressed editions, a more modest reduction in the page number will allow us to keep the current sales price but restore the profit per copy to pre-pandemic levels — important for the survival of the magazine.
