A note from V.A.A.: Thank you for your support of The Virgil Reader, Volume 001. The response from our community has been extraordinary, and we are grateful. To advance our mission of expanding access to Virgil's work and ideas, the Virgil Abloh Archive will print additional copies of the Reader beyond the initial 2,000. Proceeds from the second printing will support the Archive's research and publishing program, as well as educational programming for youth through the Virgil Abloh Foundation. Through the Foundation's partnerships with schools and educational institutions, we plan to donate copies directly to students who may not otherwise have access to this material.
