A compact Taipei shop where independent image-making reaches readers through books and exhibitions.
Comics and art books crowd wooden shelves and tables, with framed pictures against a dark-green wall. The selection centres on alternative comics, original publications and self-publishing, with small exhibitions changing roughly monthly.
The entrance is behind white louvred doors, downstairs at No. 2, Alley 10, Lane 244, Roosevelt Road Section 3.
Remove your shoes, leave large bags with the counter and do not photograph or record the books.
Purchases are cash-only, with bank transfer available if needed. The online shop is another way to support the publishers you encounter.
