great flickr and zine shop


i got really quite excited when i saw this flickr site, via ffffound.
it is collated by staff from this zine shop called shimokitazawa in tapei (thanks hiki!),
and features various zines and publications they stock.
it looks to be an amazing eclectic collection.
and this zine shop in tokyo also looks really good.

  5. WONDERFUUUUL!
    some of these zines were totally new to me, but i love hibi (i had one copy of it in my shop but it's gone now)! That online shop called shimokitazawa is actually in Taipei not Tokyo. First I thought "あれ?where in shimokitazawa is this shop???" and "why in Chinese??" then I found their address at the bottom. They have a really great selection though!!!!

  7. ah ha! i saw it was all in chinese on the flickr site, but then saw the name shimokitazawa and all the japanese books on display and assumed it was in shimokitazawa (maybe with chinese staff:) oops! thanks for that hiki, i will update the text on the post:)
