**Short description**: Although Ethereum is a much less complicated system, google ‘books on Ethereum’, then google ‘books on Polkadot’. You’ll notice that while there are more than 10 books on Ethereum, Polkadot (the network) has nothing. Of course, this is more a sign of age than anything, but I’m proposing a way to start our journey.

This proposal brings to light the lack of a holistic and easy-to-understand explanation of Polkadot in a book form. It outlines the importance of a book and proposes a solution to create one. But not just another book about blockchains but one focused on Polkadot and written from a totally non-technical perspective.
