A practical, no-frills repository for making and sharing books — organized, readable, and easy to build.
/books
│
├── thinking/ ← Structured ideas, systems, life philosophy
├── expression/ ← Self-expression, emotion, creative output
├── oneshots/ ← Single-image works (visual poems, quotes, etc.)
└── assets/ ← Templates, guides, tools
Books are grouped into two types for clarity:
-
thinking/— Focused on structure, insight, or analysis
→ e.g. personal philosophy, systems, worldview, critiques -
expression/— Focused on creativity, emotion, or introspection
→ e.g. quote books, journals, fragments, inner voice
This keeps content organized and easy to navigate.
Each folder in thinking/ or expression/ is a single book project. It may include:
.md— Full book in Markdown.pdf— Multiple formats (see PDF naming below)separated_files/— Optional folder with chapters or sections in.md
Print settings:
Double-sided, flip on long edge (or short edge depending on booklet type).
All PDFs use a 2-letter prefix to indicate format:
| Code | Description | Syntax | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
MB |
Main Book — regular reading PDF | MB_Book_Title.pdf |
MB_The_17_Rules.pdf |

Redirects to each GitHub folder — no inline reading.
This repo is for making and sharing books using a simple, repeatable structure.
Designed for clarity, not polish.
“A book doesn’t need to impress.
It just needs to hold something of value.”
