I wish more books were in "dark mode" like this. Damn! Such a lovely reading experience. Highly recommend getting some Monochrome Books!
Cannot review as the order has not been received!!!
Glad to have a gorgeous copy of one of my favorite books of all time. Looking forward to more versions from Monochrome!
Love this idea. Love this presentation. I wish there were more books, or it were easier to sign up for their funding and fund different books. Am very happy with my purchase.
The Picture of Dorian Gray is one of my favorite 19th century novels ever. I always read in dark mode on my phone so of course I also love the black pages with light text in a physical book - it's so nice on the eyes! A great choice of literature for black pages too; A story full of wit, battle of morals, commentary on aristocratic society, dashed with horror and filled with an entourage of interesting and memorable characters. I actually forgot Oscar Wilde's poems were to be listed in here too, so that was a nice surprise - haha!
This is the first I’ve heard of this book or this company, but I am thoroughly impressed with both the text and the book. It is delightful, and the dark pages are extremely easy to read. I seem to enjoy this book a thousand fold more than any other I’ve read! If you get a chance, please get this book, support this company, you won’t regret it!
Wonderful edition, love the black pages. Quick delivery!
Truly a whole different take on the story, just using the black paper.
The feel of the paper is very crispy & the letters are nice & sharp. It should age very gracefully as long as I take good care of it. It’s worth the wait & its just marvelous.

At Monochrome Books we want to change the way that books are printed and rediscover the beauty and the joy of published works. We aim to publish the world’s most influential books in black paper, creating an easier, more enjoyable, and more beautiful reading experience.
Ultimately, we want to reinvent the pleasure of reading.
The first book that we published was Meditations by Marcus Aurelius, which was fully funded on Kickstarter under 90 minutes. With this book, we were able to show that it was viable to print a book on black paper and that there was indeed a market for such a book.

The Picture of Dorian Grey by Oscar Wilde will be our second book. It is the only novel written by one of the most provocative and iconic writers of the 19th century.
All our special editions are fully printed on Italian black paper using only white ink.
