Monman Coffee House
My partner and I are fans of design, photography, music, architecture; we constantly keep in mind the words of Rulfo, O’Gorman, Fernanda Canales, Puma Blue, Men I Trust, Ultra 54. They help us fill the space with ideas, materials and sounds.

Submarine
With Mariana Enríquez, we would perform an invocation with several initiated magicians, followed by a horror reading. With Camila Sosa, a session with mezcal and boleros about unrequited love, followed by a performance of her latest thesis novel about domestication.
-
Ú-topical
We expanded our ideas, our activities, our commitment to the world of books, to our community, to the causes we consider just. We broadened our way of thinking and seeing the world of books in which we were moving.
-
Clarice
What always guides us is the certainty that within the chaos that this great city can be, there are always those who seek an oasis of tranquility. And our intention is that they find it at Clarice.

The hand of Cervantes
We learned, in part, from Max Ramos, one of Mexico's most important booksellers, to respect and dignify the bookselling profession. We consider it a profession with a beautiful tradition, one that has also faced the challenges of modern life.
-
The Flooded House
The bookstore was born from the idea of bringing rare, unique, collectible, and hard-to-find books to readers from different parts of the world. From the beginning, we sought to offer a different perspective on books, one that fosters a sense of discovery.
-
The Harvest
We believe in a horizontal, non-hierarchical, cooperative, and collaborative form of work organization. We believe in free culture, promoting freedom of access, use, and distribution of any cultural content. We believe in self-management, autonomy, and independence from the state and large corporations.

La Fiera
When someone comes to the bookstore looking for something special, it's like starting a treasure hunt or embarking on a shared journey between us and the customer. However, the most rewarding part happens when they return and tell us how much they enjoyed the book, and that's when the treasure hunt begins again.

The thousand and one books
I thought about the creativity required to set up a bookstore: the space design, the layout, and, of course, the selection. Having an independent bookstore is also a way to express yourself.
-
Verba Bookstore
The bookstore is a pluralistic space, just like the books themselves. That's why the catalog selection is so important to us; the books the bookstore contains shape the narrative of the space itself.
-
EXIT The Bookstore
Everything that is part of contemporary art is present at EXIT. I think its specialization is what makes the difference. It has also become a meeting point for artists, gallery owners, curators, cultural managers, and the general public interested in art.

Offline (books)
The physical store was designed to encourage browsing and the discovery of new books. Our goal is to spark curiosity; we believe that often the book you end up buying isn't the one you were looking for, but the one that happened to be right next to it.
