Made by MENDO
About the booksWho will recognize a great book better than a bookstore? A bookstore run by graphic designers. Here’s why: at MENDO we get market feedback seven days a week, we are blessed to be surrounded by a bunch of talented, inspiring people – photographers, writers and publishers – and after being a bookstore for more than 15 years, we can easily say we know what book aficionados are looking for. Don’t you agree that initiating, creating and realizing jaw-dropping books now, only comes natural?
A MENDO publication is a well-designed book with visually stunning creative content, browsed by people to be amazed and inspired. The subject-matter is one of our pre-defined curated categories, fashion, photography, interior, sport, lifestyle, food and traveling. In general, a MENDO book is a piece of furniture in itself.

About Jimmy Nelson
Goroka Tribe | Papua New Guinea
They survive by hunting, gathering plants and growing crops. Indigenous warfare is common and men go through great effort to impress the enemy with make-up and ornaments.
‘I’d like people to participate in what I feel and see’
‘I’d like people to participate in what I feel and see’
Miao Tribe
In the Southern Chinese province of Guiyang there is a small number of exceptionally remote and traditional villages of the Miao people. In 2016 Jimmy visited the Miao Longhorn.
This new assemblage of voyages is accompanied by insightful, engaging interviews with tribe leaders, infographics on the locations and cultures of each destination, and a new mobile application that allows readers to view 360˚ film material, behind the scenes video, storytelling, and interviews from all the journeys–inviting readers on a journey to the remotest places on earth. Before They Pass Away II celebrates each tribe’s distinct aesthetic cultural heritage and is a visual document, perhaps even the last record, that reminds us and future generations of the beauty and harmony of these tribes and the purity of their way of life. This unique volume truly an invaluable time capsule of the last surviving tribes–is an essential for travel and photography enthusiasts.
Chele La Pass | Bhutan
Everywhere you go there are Buddhist temples and monasteries filled with the sound of mantras and the scent of incense.
‘What I’m doing is not journalistic, but very idealistic, romantic, celebratory, iconic and artistic, with a very positive message’
‘What I’m doing is not journalistic, but very idealistic, romantic, celebratory, iconic and artistic, with a very positive message’
Nelson’s large-plate field camera captures every minute detail, vivid color, and dramatic light to produce awe-inspiring portraits of tribal members: from head-on shots, to visual narratives documenting quotidian life, rituals, and rites of passage, and striking pictures of marvelous and sometimes harsh landscapes.
