Analogue Books

Independent bookstore that's no carbon copy
Word to the wise: Look out for Analogue's collection of books by the Irish artist and illustrator Nigel Peake, most of which are published by the store itself.

Keeping the city’s creative types fully stocked in coffee table-worthy volumes, Analogue Books has been Edinburgh’s go-to store for all manner of art and design-related publications since 2001.
Specialising in everything from zines to books and prints to magazines, shelves in this tiny store are chock full with items you never even knew you wanted. Fully supporting homegrown talent, emphasis is given to local artists with works by Lizzy Stewart, Matt Swan and Edinburgh-based design house The Lindström Effect among the collection.

Expect copy from well known publishers such as Die Gestalten aside more niche works from smaller houses such as Nobrow, Hassla and Analogue itself.
