Give a friend a monthly letter
For a friend in midlife who loves to read, Eigenzeit is a gift she can open at the kitchen table. A new paper edition arrives in her post each month.
What she’ll find in the envelope
An original essay explores a subject such as friendship, work, or freedom. A second perspective invites her to read the subject differently. There’s a small art print or illustrated card to keep, and a question you might ask each other the next time you talk.

When will the first letter ship?
Orders placed from the 1st through the 14th start with the current month’s edition. Orders placed from the 15th through the end of the month start with the following month’s edition, planned for dispatch at the start of that month. The cutoff follows London time.
Dispatch is when we hand your letter to the postal service. Arrival times vary by destination and postal service; a dispatch date is not a guaranteed delivery date.
