Printed Matter, Inc.

“One of the coolest independent bookstores in New York City. Located in Chelsea, Printed Matter offers thousands of artists books, zines, and other publications for viewing and purchase. Here you'll with unique binding methods, analogue printing techniques, and unusual dimensions. The books are anything but traditional; the shelves offer surprise after surprise. Every so often, I visit to flip through whatever is displayed upon the tables, which renew frequently. Even the contents of the books vary greatly: some offer a narrative, some a sequence, and some a simple collection of text, visuals, or concepts. If you are unable to visit NYC, Casa Bosques in CDMX also holds a similar offering of artist books and is equally worth the time!”

“When I’m in nyc one of my fave free things to do is visit the incredible bookstores and just browse for hours. It’s heaven to me. We just don’t have bookstores like that here in Atlanta. Printed matter is a captivating art book and small press and diy publishing space that I could literally spend a week in. Last time I was there I also hit up McNally Jackson, Rizzoli, Books of Wonder and Spoonbill and Sugartown but there are sooooo many gems.”

“One of the best book stores in the world. Book store doesn’t even encapsulate all this place is.”
