Printed Matter!

The tape wall at Printed Matter.

Pretty awesome. I went in to Printed Matter doing research on artists books, but have been meaning to go in there ever since I heard about it. They put on the NY Art Book Fair last month. It is a fantastic place. It reminded me of Olympia in some ways, but also made me feel grateful for all that the city has to offer. They primarily stock artists books, and additionally have gallery space running the length of the space for older/ rarer works. (Fluxus texts, etc) They also stock zines, cassettes, seven inches, pins, stickers, and any other matter of printed work. This is the first place in the city that I've found an abundance of tapes. Their zine selection was somewhat limited, so I will keep on seeking. I also walked around the corner and found the end of Manhattan:

flanked of course by large commercial piers on either side.
