Book/Shop is a design-minded, multi-disciplinary store about books and reading. Founded in Oakland (California) by Erik Heywood, the brand has contributed during the last decade to reframing what a bookstore can be by means of rare books, as well as book-related furniture and art. In short, a way of life surrounding the act of reading. Heywood's design work for Book/Shop is inspired by the beauty, poetry, artfulness and intelligence found in the best books, and he works to bring those qualities to Book/Shop's variety of products, events, and experiences. Intersecting with the worlds of art, fashion, film, design & publishing, Book/Shop's collaborators and partners have included have included The New York Times, The Whitney Museum, Drake's, The Eames Institute, The Paris Review, Small (Paris), The Aperture Foundation, and many others.
