When publishers feel mutual love for each other's work, why not barter books and help each other with the hardest part of publishing: Distribution! We are happy to now carry some titles from Secret Riso Club. Their archiving of neighborhood business logos in NYC in this series speaks to us and we think you'll enjoy these neat and well-designed publications too. From the publisher:

“Signs & Artifacts” is part of a project aiming to document storefront signs for local businesses found around New York City. Volume 4 features signs from Bedford Stuyvestant, Brooklyn. These signs are iconographic representations of the neighborhood they are in and are markers of its cultural identity.

They are often ghostly artifacts of design which connect us to an older New York that will soon be destroyed or buried by gentrification and the construction of the new. When isolated from the landscape, we can observe more closely the design and character of these signs and artifacts. Please support long-term local businesses that were in the neighborhood before you.
