Coffee! Love it? Hate it? Have a vague sense of nonchalance about it?

If so, we want you! Beyond Cataclysm is undertaking an new project: ISBN COFFEE!

What is ISBN COFFEE?

It’s a beautiful bag of coffee beans selected for easy, enjoyable drinking, with a companion book dedicated to the fusion of coffee & culture.

We have compiled a beautiful book, to accompany our select blend from Dick’s Bean Bar.

In the book, expect some:

  • Micro-fiction. Short prose, from several authors.
  • History. A five minute history of coffee from an expert in the field.
  • Art. Coffee related photography and art.
  • Games! We have short RPGs and even a mini-game about running your own coffee shop, to play whilst the coffee brews.
  • Poetry. Several caff and decaff poetry options!

Description

The Idea

It’s been a persistent proposition, floating around since the very first days of BEYOND CATACLYSM: “Why not print a bag of coffee beans with an ISBN number?”

The obvious flaw was you aren’t actually allowed to do that—ISBNs are for books, and books alone. The solution was simple enough: no one can stop us writing a book, then stamping that number on both!

We told some people. It turns out that the Venn diagram of people that love coffee and love books seems to overlap just the right amount. Everyone liked the concept as much as us, so we pushed ahead.

The Book

Inside you’ll find submissions from across the globe in the form of poetry, prose and play. Read a tale of coffee shops in Cape Town or Venice, revel in poems about the humble bean and its effect upon our senses and emotions. Play a game with real coffee beans as counters and the book as your board. There is so much to enjoy here as you imbibe. This beautiful coffee table book has a softcover and is sewn bound so that it will lay open nicely on your table.

We’ve partnered with Dicks Bean Bar in Warrington to offer a lovely bag of single origin coffee beans that you can also order alongside the book!

    A wonderfully curated package that brings together excellent quality coffee beans, and a gorgeous compilation of coffee-themed poetry, short stories, music, sketches, games…the book is gorgeously put together with inputs from a wide range of artists, and some beautiful photography/drawings to really bring a quality to this package. Definitely well worth enjoying the book with a freshly brewed cup of the gorgeous nectar these beans produce!
