New Magazines Collections Page

We've launched a dedicated magazines page showcasing our growing collection of design, photography, and culture magazines. The collection includes complete or near-complete runs of Apartamento (34 issues), Toilet Paper by Cattelan & Ferrari (20 issues), Purple Books (27 issues), Erik Kessels' Useful Photography series (15 issues), and more. Each magazine series now has its own dedicated page with covers and details for individual issues.

New Photography Acquisition: Les Oiseaux

We're excited to announce the addition of Les Oiseaux by Lola Raban-Oliva and Jean-René Etienne to our collection. This unique photobook documents the Notre-Dame Cathedral fire from an unprecedented aerial perspective, presenting 97 screenshots captured from the artists' window two kilometers from the blaze.

Enhanced Tag System & Search

We've significantly improved our book tagging system, increasing coverage from 18.5% to 39.4% of the collection. Books are now enriched with keywords inferred from titles, authors, and publishers, making it easier to discover related materials through our search interface.
