Day two meeting Berlin’s bookshops. We kickstarted the day with where a red pathway guides you through rooms full of visual arts books in the fields of architecture, film, photography, design and more. Browse to the gentle hum of the trains above you.

is a Berlin heavyweight covering books under the large umbrella of urbanism. Expect progressive titles and an expertise that only comes with years of experience.

specialises in female and q***r titles, (as well as service with a smile and gorgeous bookshelves). An admirably rich mixture of readers, zines, mags and coffee table books.

It was a pleasure to meet .0 who are really cornering the market for comic book imports, with a metal leaning. These are rare finds.

Hallo print lovers. PKB are doing the rounds in Berlin this week.
First stop was which most will know. Established in 2008 and now world famous, Do You Read Me?! Sells books and magazines on visual culture and hosts events for the publishing hall of fame.
Next was a stop in at .berlin which is currently showing the incredible work of Helga Paris. The shop is a trove of colourful gifts and books.
To top the day off, we visited the lovely folk of an exhibition space for photography and visual media. Nestled in the foyer of the mid century building is a shop of lovingly selected print. Expected a mixture of photography, theory and surprises.

Thanks for welcoming us, All.
