Booklet Library is shaped by the authors, artists, and publishers who contribute their work. Our interest is in the support, provision, and promotion of a fair cross-section of independent publications, and of (visual) difference. Titles on this website are a description of the library holdings, which are physically held in New York as of 2020

Nearly Perfect is a focused, illustrated guide to building enduring products. Why do certain products effortlessly dominate their competition? Why do some seemingly sophisticated products flounder and fail? This book explains why.

The best products in the world benefit from compounding loops, which we lay out in a practical, easy-to-understand framework.
