This is the future Alexandria Labs wants to create. “We were really inspired by the ancient patronage model where the wealthy classes would support the arts so that everyone can access it,” says co-founder Amelie Lasker. Hoping to be the “great library for the metaverse,” the platform will launch with a small library of NFT books that anyone can read, but few can collect.
“We want to try different tiers,” Lasker says. “Maybe there’s a more accessible, more affordable version where it’s just the ebook, and then there’s a more expensive version that has original art or some kind signature from the author—or a unique piece the author has written into it that’s only for that one copy. That creates rare books.”

The launch of TRYST, a story in Tweets (testimonials)
web3 publishing is revolutionary. finished editing a collection of stories today. minted them as a digital book via my own smart contract, where I own all royalties. shared it with you all.

chose a price, chose to not token-gate.
I repeat: as an emerging author I chose.
Publishing with @AlexandriaLabs has been an incredible experience. If you're interested in publishing a digital book, I highly recommend reaching out to @AmelieLasker and her team.

what happens when we somehow link an ISBN to a series of transaction hashes? when a physical book comes to include "collector" language?
what happens? pic.twitter.com/AwY89hm8sg
Congratulations, @CaballeroAnaMa, on your incredible sellout of "Tryst."
