The world is full of interesting, and the time is now for a book series that celebrates that. REMORANDOM is a printed curation of snack-sized stories, ideas and observations designed to inform, entertain and inspire a global community of curious readers. Everything interesting. Collectible. The content of this first ever volume of REMORANDOM is a curated mix, drawing on a diverse range of topics: culture, design, history, ideas, nature, people, science and things. Brain candy. The perfect gift. The REMORANDOM appeal is proving to be both wide and deep … as evidenced by the accumulating 5-star reviews on the RR#1 ordering page at REMO online. (What’s better than interesting, right?) And the non-linear, short-form nature of the content caters to all attention spans. REMORANDA will be the most interesting books in your library, giving you so much uncommon knowledge to share: over dinner parties at home, the water cooler at work … or around the campfire on holidays.
