What Mendo Bookstore is known for

MENDO is a bookseller and publisher specialising in visual books that place art and design among their central subjects. Photography and architecture sit alongside fashion and lifestyle titles, while the publishing business works with creative collaborators on new books. Customers can browse published titles online or contact the business about its publishing work and editorial support.

MENDO combines bookselling with publishing, specialising in visual books across art and design rather than a general reading catalogue. Architecture and photography share space in the selection with books about fashion and lifestyle subjects. The physical book matters to this selection as an object, as well as a way to carry images and text.

The publishing side works with brands and other creative collaborators to develop books, including collector's editions and editorial support. That is a different service from buying a finished title through the shop. A commissioned publication calls for a project discussion, whereas a retail purchase starts with the subject and format of an existing book.

For a purchase, compare the treatment of the subject as well as the cover that first attracts attention. A photographic volume may suit a different reader from a book focused on architecture or interiors. For a physical visit, check MENDO's current contact information rather than assuming that an earlier shop address is still in use today.
