3d NFT of the Doves Press Triptych, a series celebrating the Doves Press and Milton. Each NFT is inspired by a unique copy of a rare book. The book origin of this NFT will be exhibited at the Grolier Club in June and July. @withFND @blockhousenft #NFT #Letterpress

NFTs may soon become questions for libraries and archives to consider as uniquely collectible born-digital materials. What to make of a 1/1 NFT and associated physical copy? @mtpo @bancroftlibrary @TheHuntington @withFND https://t.co/Z819E6ZEeg

The NFT (linked to a letterpress edition to be printed on the grounds of West Point) is in very good company - the Grabhorn Press did a fine press edition of 1601 in 1925. The Mark Twain NFT at @withFND suggests meme and viral culture has deep roots. @Grab_Inst @arionpress

It’s still up for auction on @withFND

Not just any NFT, but the 2d West Point edition (following the first that was secretly printed there in 1882).

This Forbes piece about the #NFT of Mark Twain’s 1601 is a good starting place for book collectors and others wondering what the heck is going on.
