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.

Celebrating the world’s polychromatic cultural identity
Jimmy Nelson’s epic portraits present dignified inheritors of noble and age-old traditions in a proud spirit and in all their glory—a unique visual experience.
Since 2009, photographer Jimmy Nelson (UK, 1967) has been capturing the lives and traditions of the last surviving tribes in a project with the significant title Before They Pass Away. That has resulted in this mind-blowing visual story – 13 journeys, 44 countries, 31 tribes – extremely beautiful and so painful at the same time. Their pride fills us with dignity.
This project is way to impressive to capture in a few trivial words like these. We’ve had the pleasure meeting Jimmy Nelson several times and we were immediately struck by his passion for this project and these tribes. Published by teNeues, this book is offered in different versions. Apart from this original € 100.00 edition and the small € 50.00 version, there’s this very, very limited version (500 copies, signed and numbered), which comes with 3 original signed photo prints. The price for this is € 6,500.00.
