Printed Matter
Printed Matter is a wondrous two-room treasure trove of limited-edition artist monographs
and strange little zines. While you won't find anything carried by mainstream bookstores,
you will stumble upon anything and everything from call-to-arms manifestos and critical
essays on comic books, to flip books that reveal Jesus' face through barcodes.
