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 collage as method and mindset
Prefaced by Brainard’s close friend, the poet Ron Padgett, and accompanied by an essay by art critic Éric Troncy, the publication features rarely seen zines, comics, printed matter, ephemera and artworks Brainard created during the 1960s and 70s.
American artist, writer and theatre set designer Joe Brainard (1942–1994) was born in Salem, Arkansas and raised in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Later moving to New York at the age of 19, he became closely associated with the poets and painters of the New York School, including Frank O’Hara, Ted Berrigan, John Ashbery, and Ron Padgett. He is the author of the cult classic I Remember (1975) which is widely praised and admired by writers such as Paul Auster, Edmund White and Georges Perec.
A Joe Brainard Show in a Book was published for the reveal of the Fall Winter 2021 men’s runway collection designed by Jonathan Anderson, the creative director of the celebrated fashion house LOEWE, who was inspired by Brainard’s remarkable artistic output.
Explore rarely seen artworks, comics, printed matter and ephemera created by Joe Brainard throughout the 1960s and 70s. Limited edition of 500. Available now at MENDO.
