This is what Řež looks like!

Visualisation of the book Řež — gilt edge and cut-off corner

Sure, it is only a visualisation, but as realistic as it gets.

If everything goes to plan, we will be shipping signed pre-order copies in October.

It will be a proper cut

The book is being typeset by Martin Pecina – Typomil. He is the best there is.

Řež will be roughly the size of Web ostrý jako břitva. At the same time I am writing it for busy professionals, so do not expect rambling or repeated ideas. 248 pages of concentrated know-how with almost 100 diagrams.

We are cutting a corner off the book. You will not see that very often in the publishing world. The printer confirmed they can do it. They can also handle the gilt edge, which suits House of Řezáč and our eccentric baroque.

Is Řež for you?

You do not buy a book just to own it. You buy Řež the moment one of these situations starts to burn.

You want to think about where your organisation is heading. It is a hard task, so you keep putting it off. Řež gives you a pile of tools that help you think about the organisation faster and more effectively – alone or in a group.

You are preparing a new product or service. Map the terrain and test the idea with cheap probes before you spend millions.

The company runs, but revenue has stalled. Dozens of projects, nothing moving in the numbers. Find the bottleneck in your customer factory and only then invest.

AI is changing your field. Part of your work is becoming a commodity. Wardley maps show you what is happening so you can move in the right direction sooner.

You feel a change is needed. Start where you stand. Small improvements will do more in a year than a five-year plan.

And of course it makes a great gift. If you would like to give the book together with the course, let us know and we will work it out. Christmas is coming.

New pre-order bonuses

You get more than you expected. Everyone who has already ordered gets the bonuses too, of course.

  • A signed copy — I will sign every pre-order copy.
  • All 3 formats for the price of the book — print, e-book and audiobook.

The audiobook is something of a Greek gift, because the book stands on diagrams that no AI will narrate for you. Do read it physically.

The book+course bundle is becoming book+course+cards. What do you get on top?

  • A set of 15 cards — the tools from the book with questions that help you pick the right one.
  • Founding Member role on Discord — a private channel where we answer first.
  • Q&A about the book — live or from the recording.
Designs for the set of 15 Řež cards
Illustrative image, we are waiting for the final card design.

Cards only until 31 August

We will give the card set to everyone who orders the bundle with the course by 31 August. We need to know how many to print. It will be a nice little limited edition.

In the pre-order the book costs CZK 595 and the bundle with the course and cards CZK 2,894. Both including VAT, which is zero on the book. Řež will never be more affordable.

The Tyranny of Structurelessness

When a group abolishes formal structure, power does not disappear. It just stops being visible.
