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.

Tom Bianchi: 63 E 9th Street
NYC Polaroids 1975-1983
‘ Tom Bianchi's rarely seen gay liberation-era polaroids couldn't be more liberating. ’
‘ Tom Bianchi's rarely seen gay liberation-era polaroids couldn't be more liberating. ’
Bianchi took that camera to the Pines on summer weekends, those pictures became the book Fire Island Pines, Polaroids 1975 – 1983 published in 2013, but whereas Fire Island is an expansive communal experience happening on a sunny sand bar outside of the city under huge open skies, Tom’s New York apartment was an intimate track-lit den – a safe stage where he and his friends invited each other to play out their erotic night games.
‘ Titled '63 E. 9th Street: NYC Polaroids 1975-1983, ' the photographer welcomes readers into his former New York City apartment to be free and sensual. ’

Tom’s New York City Polaroids take us behind the closed door of his apartment, “Back then we were in the early days of a revolution that seemed inevitably headed to a more loving, playful and tolerant way of being. We were innocents”, Bianchi recalls. This is an essential companion book to Fire Island Pines and an important document of urban gay life.
