- criddell 4y agoI've bought a few books from Stripe Press and they are all high quality. My only complaint is that some of them use a very small (to my old eyes) font. I bought The Dream Machine from them and ended up finding an electronic version for my ereader.

- runevault 4y agoYeah I have a few books from them including Human Puzzle and one other I'm blanking on just now. All have been things that feel nice in the hand. I can see how the font would not be great if your eyes struggle with their font size choice though.
- solardev 4y agoYou convinced me to look for a used copy on eBay (found one). Thanks!
- criddell 4y agoIf you like it, check out other books from them. They're a small publisher but what they decide to print aligns pretty well with the interests of many HN readers. https://press.stripe.com/ https://press.stripe.com/
- runevault 4y agoThanks for linking to this, it let me look at the list and remember Hamming's book was the other one I bought. I really need to finish reading it, but it is so dense it takes a while to get through.
