Last weekend Debbie and I visited our son Devan and his family in Portland, OR. Devan insisted that we see this store while we were there. I get why. If I were to turn my personal library and collection of ephemera into a store that store would look a lot like Monograph. If you geek out on design, architecture, hippies, counterculture, mid-century anything and the folk art made by outsiders from beatniks to punks, drop in. If you can't their website has the goods, but you'll miss the spontaneous joy of meeting likeminded collectors. We made new friends. We'll be back.
