Dan and Justine said ”Next weekend, we’re in New York Art book Fair !” in Tokyo Art Book Fair around 2012 or 2013. Listening to their talk; how is great NYABF and New York, I decided to go there next year. Getting a small reporting job for a web magazine, actually I visited NYC and NYABF next year. During my first NYABF, almost all day I was looking for books and said hi to my friends. Never bored and I was so exciting for 4days. That vibes in NYC and NYABF! I was surprised... I was a small girl from Tokyo, Asia...but I felt something my place. I mean great and comfortable. Anyway It was true what Dan and Justine said. Thank you for your recommendation!
I’ve had good chances to look new titles published by Perimeter Editions. Their publications are more and more amazing every year. They have been thought about book design and concept as an art book. Those book’s construction have made us amazing every time. Dear my friends, please take a look at their publications from Melbourne!

More 10 years ago, a bookshop was 2 mins on foot from my apartment. After supermarket, rendez-vous, the school... I was often dropping in at Librairie Yvon Lambert. Just I was only reading and checking some books for around one hour. The bookshop is a bookshop not a library, though. Bruno must have thought that woman over there came here often but she didn’t buy...something odd.
For some reason, lately we have chatted about the books by Nathalie du Pasquier, Philippe Weisbecker...etc and caught up in Tokyo or Paris with his beautiful femme.
I like buying books at Yvon Lambert Bookshop. That plastic bag ! It was printed, “THE GREATEST THINGS AND THE WORST THINGS TOGETHER IN ONE BAG”. By David Shrigley ?

One day Mike Mills, his friends and his girlfriend visited a bookshop in Tokyo. A couple of months later, Mike Mills exhibition “Humans” started there, where I worked. At first time I met Nieves, there. It was Mike Mill’s. After the work, I checked Nieves web site in home. My heart was beating and thrilling very much. I had never seen such a very independent publisher. For me, somehow... as if it was a new and cool friend (I was making cheap zines at that time). For more 10 years, Benjamin has published zines and artists' books. He has continued. Today too.
Everybody loves Nieves.
