things well done | bovo mondo ::
:: on Sunday, I found a great lazy weekend spot, Bovo Mondo in Shanghai (427 Dagu Lu. 大沽路427号). I was especially impressed with their selection of foreign design books and magazines. The books are not for sale and are actually the owner’s personal collection. He travels the world finding interesting items to bring back to the shop. He has over 2,000 titles and 50 subscriptions. My new favorite magazine, Monocole, is available. This month it features an article on business development in Kunming. //

Lol, isn’t the owner worried about getting his personal collection stolen since they are in the open public?

I am organizing a wine tasting event to fundraise and support The Library Project (a China based NGO that builds libraries for underfunded Chinese schools) at Bovo Mondo a month frmo now. Let me know if you are interested.
