Commonplace — Classic Books

Commonplace is a reading app for the classics, made the way good books are made: carefully, and to last. EDITIONS MADE WITH CARE More than 600 classics — fiction, poetry, drama, philosophy, history, science and scripture — in Commonplace’s own editions: real quotation marks and dashes, verse that keeps its lines, chapters you can move between, and footnotes that open where you are reading. Every text is checked word for word against its source. Open “About this edition” on any Commonplace edition to see where its text came from and every correction made to it. When an edition is improved, you can take the new issue and keep your notes, bookmarks and place. A PASSAGE WORTH KEEPING At noon and at midnight, Commonplace offers a new passage from the whole breadth of the catalogue. Keep it, write a note on it, or step from the passage into the book at the exact place it comes from. Home…
