A Book of One's Own
Fall 2026
In a world of digital inflation and gamification, a simple, well-made book remains a lost kind of giving. In "A Book of One's Own", Malik Wilson, in cooperation with the Takoma Foundation, is looking to bring books to high school students.
Cheaply printed public domain books whisper their own hampered story about value, importance. But a weighty, tactile hardback book, wax-stamped and etched with a student's name tells another story. A Book of One's Own isn't about just trying to give students a particular text - it's about turning them into lifelong book lovers.
