THE BOOK DEAL - A Content Backing Proposal by Arrow Dot Press

Arrow Dot Press launches CryptoNumberedTM Editions. Physical books with blockchain tokens that prove origin, ownership, and cultural value.

Crypto isn't just a currency. It's a receipt, a signature, and a time-stamp rolled into one.” - David HensonPAGOSA SPRINGS, CO, UNITED STATES, August 11, 2025 /EINPresswire / -- When digital artist Beeple sold an NFT for $69 million at Christie's, it wasn't just a win for digital art, it was a wake-up call about the power of blockchain to authenticate and track ownership. The crypto world had quietly unlocked a new chapter in how we assign value to cultural works.

“I do really think this is going to be viewed as the next chapter of art history,” Beeple told the press after his historic sale.

Arrow Dot Press is applying crypto ideas to book publishing and collectible editions.

With the launch of CryptoNumberedTM Editions , the publishing upstart is pioneering a new model: physical books, each marked with a unique seal, matched to a cryptographic token on the blockchain. That token serves as a permanent, verifiable record of ownership - proof that the buyer helped bring the book into existence.

“If Beeple did it for digital art, why shouldn't we do it for books?” says David Henson, founder of Arrow Dot Press.“Crypto isn't just a currency. It's a receipt, a signature, and a time-stamp rolled into one. With CryptoNumberedTM, we're giving readers collectible proof that they backed something meaningful before the world knew it was meaningful.”

Arrow Dot Press calls the model Content BackingTM , where book projects like The Book Deal and Virginity Rediscovered are crowdfunded before publication. But unlike traditional campaigns, supporters don't just get a copy. They get a limited-edition print book, cryptographically linked to a numbered token that proves they were part of its origin story.

This form of blockchain provenance is disrupting art, jewelry, and luxury goods. Now, Arrow Dot Press is bringing it to books. Preserving cultural memory while creating a collectible asset in the process.

“A CryptoNumberedTM book isn't just a story,” Henson says.“It's a stake in history.”
