I discovered Printed Matter one day while walking around Chelsea visiting various art spaces. In this context, maintaining the operation at this location is absolutely a smart, brilliant idea as it attracts art nerds who also happen to be book connoisseurs. For me, the curation and selection are unique enough to place Printed Matter in its own category. Think of extremely limited press runs combined with high quality presentation and intriguing subject matter. No NYC bookstore tour would be complete without a stop at Printed Matter.

A wonderful selection of unique books, zines, and art. These books very much fit within the “art book” category, with some opening up from a cover made of cardboard into an accordion binding, while others consist of maze-like infrastructures that make the contents complimentary to the art of the binding itself. They have beautiful prints in the back, with some for sale. And a wonderful little “book machine” that gets you a sweet little bobble that holds a mini zine! I highly recommend adding this place to your to-go list if you’re new to the area or just stopping through.

Amazing bookstore and what a bookstore should be, open to all who have inspiration and an idea. Since everyone toots the independent spirit yet few support it, this bookstore concept shines in all aspects.

Magical specialty press location. Nothing like it. We always visit when in NYC. Host organization for an excellent art book fair in Los Angeles.

This little book shop is so cool! Carrying zines, art books, and prints by local artists, this store is really great if you're looking for a unique coffee table book or posters for your walls. Everything is a little pricey, but considering that it supports local artists, I think it is worth it. You can find a lot of unique books here that wouldn't be found anywhere else. Definitely recommend checking it out if you like zines or unique texts.

Truly fun shop if you like original artistic zines, stickers, tote bags and tees! Well worth a stop. Lots of great inexpensive prints too.

Printed Matter is full of gems. Independent zines and books I've seen at and/or bought from Printed Matter have genuinely changed how I see the world. If you have friends who are remotely artsy (in any sense of that word), this is a great place to find gifts for them. I cannot leave this place without feeling inspired.
