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.

Mr. Erik - one of Ferrys muses.
“In my pictures I want to show the best version of the subject who is at that very moment posing for me. It surprises me how many people are unaware of the beauty they possess. So my challenge is to take their physical beauty and capture it, and make it even a bit more beautiful. That is what I am looking for in a picture.”
