The publishing of a readable work
A book,
published.
Publishing makes an authored work independently encounterable without losing the identity of its source.
A book is not simply a file, a series of pages, or a software feature. It is a work carried into a readable edition—and a relationship whose authorship, composition and public release can be examined.
A real edition, not an illustration
First Reading
— Solstice
Thirty selected works with forty-one original images: that is how the edition introduces itself. The writing has its own authorship, original source pages and public reading address.
The correct first encounter is the actual book. Its pages and reading experience remain at their source-owned address, not reproduced by this explanatory site.

The works become books.
These already public artistic works have different readable forms. Their new source-owned book entrances are staged separately at Works, not copied into this domain or automatically admitted to Reframe.

What changes—and what must not.
Publication is a sequence of accountable decisions. The source remains the source; every later projection has its own job.
- I
The source
Writing, original images, attribution and revision are identifiable before composition.
- II
The edition
An author admits a particular selection and order. A candidate or archived file does not become an admitted book by appearing in a folder.
- III
The reading
Fountain Press Linotype gives source-faithful material its measured leaves, contents and navigation. Reframe's private Bookshelf admission remains a separate writer action.
- IV
The publication
The publisher authorizes a public route and release; the deployed edition can then be independently visited and inspected.
What can we actually verify?
A visible book and a successful website request are evidence of something specific, not of everything in the publication chain.
The reading opens
First Reading and a linked original source-entry route both returned HTTP 200 on 24 October 2026. That independently establishes publicly reachable routes.
Inspect the caseIts contents and attribution
The public book identifies its author, edition and selection of thirty works with forty-one original images. Those statements belong to the edition itself.

The former development manual records commands, scenarios, GUI observations and the August 2026 acceptance snapshot. It remains available as a historical technical record. It is not the current reading sequence or an admitted Linotype book.
