Basil Press.

The shelf

Every book here is etched into a permanent public record — undeletable, uneditable, revocable by no one. Authors keep 99% of every sale. No account needed to buy: a wallet appears at checkout and that's it.

Publish

Paste or upload a manuscript. Basil Press typesets it, stores it permanently, and etches it into the public record under your wallet's name. Publication is forever — that is the point.

Or upload a file: (.txt / .md — or a finished .epub to skip typesetting)
You keep 99%. Paid books are sealed (encrypted at rest); free books are open. Set price 0 to publish free.
MVP note: publishing currently requires the extension-wallet sign-in (passkey publishing arrives when storage moves platform-side — buying and reading already work with passkey).
Etched texts change only by versioning. Check everything. There is no delete.

Library

Books this wallet owns, and books it has authored. This page is reconstructed entirely from the public record — Basil Press keeps no database of you.
