The Nouns Almanac is publishing a book featuring the first 256 Nouns ever minted and is looking to expand its reach through the largest and most significant libraries in the world.
ABOUT THE NOUNS ALMANAC
Each Noun receives their very own full page feature including all their special Noun traits, Nouns owner details, mint date and one to two sentences about Nouns in the context of all the Nouns in the book.
THE LIBRARY OPTION
‘The Library Option’ gives the first 256 Noun Owners the opportunity to nominate a local library or school to receive a Nouns Almanac.
NOUNS IN MEGA-LIBRARIES
The 44 largest libraries in the world will also receive a copy of Nouns Almanac putting the Nouns in front of a collective annual visitor number of 34,500,000 people.
PROGRESS TO DATE
- The authoring, editing and design is already completed for the mammoth 310 page reference book.
- The nouns.zone website is in beta. password: nounsforlife1024
- The Manifold smart contract for public sales of Nouns Almanac is live.
Progress to date is self funded and public sales of the Nouns Almanac will cover costs through initiatives such as the Nouns Owner Invitation.
WHAT IS NOUNS OWNER INVITATION
Nouns Owners are invited to receive a box of 6 Nouns Almanacs personalised with a Noun they own and 1-2 sentences about their Noun. Read more.
ASK
MintFace is asking, subject to the concept of ‘The Library Option’ being accepted, for seed funding of 30 eth to print and distribute high quality, printed copies to libraries nominated by Noun owners and the largest libraries of the world.
THE NUMBERS
Logistics and administration 5 eth
warehouse, picking, packing and packaging 6 eth
Printing costs 9 eth
Courier direct and indirect shipping costs 10 eth
30 eth in total funded to the nounbook.eth treasury controlled by MintFace.eth.
WHY SHOULD YOU SUPPORT THIS INITIATIVE
Need - Nouns proliferation in real life through libraries are an untapped source of distribution. Noun owners get to decide which libraries get Nouns Almanacs first.
Capability - Previous successfully delivered projects include the Minted book featuring 100 NFT artists. Read more.
Opportunity - Nouns Owners get to decide the location that Nouns Almanacs are delivered to.
PLAN B
Without funding for the libraries, there will be no public library allocation for Noun Almanacs. The Nouns Almanac will continue to be published with book sales covering the investment and copies making their way into the homes of Nouns owners and supporters directly.
Thank you for considering the project. I look forward to your feedback before officially putting the proposal on-chain.
