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.

Work Better. Live Smarter. Be Happier.
Start a business and build a life you love
A start-up manual for people with a dream
What does it really take to set out on your own and build something new? This book is a ticket to change, to actually Work Better. Live Smarter. Be Happier. The knowledge and resources it provides work as a compass to help navigate the shallows and depths of running a successful and yet meaningful business – putting personal fulfillment first and leaving the ethos of the corporate world behind for good.
More than 30 business owners around the world – from a streetwear brand run by a group of friends in Accra to an L.A.-based online marketplace driven and supported by the Latino community, a platform for creative culture from Hong Kong or affordable furniture from Detroit that is built to last – tell the stories of how they got started, overcame hurdles and found purpose in their work.
This truly international book acts as a start-up manual for people with a dream, no matter the scale and champions a generation of dynamic, driven decision-makers. Available now at MENDO.
