Smashtoshi, History of Bitcoin (First Edition)

Seen from that angle, the First Edition of History of Bitcoin is a considered object. It comes in a case made from five-thousand-year-old fossilised black oak. The material is unusual, but the effect is straightforward: it gives the book a steady, quiet setting. Inside, the volume is bound in bull leather with a finely made silver emblem by Asprey Studio. None of this feels like decoration. It feels like someone thinking carefully about how an object should look if it is meant to last.
