Perimeter Books x LOVEWANT are bringing a speciality bookstore to James Street for a limited time
Later this month, Brisbane’s premier lifestyle precinct, James Street, will host a page-turning collaboration designed for readers, creatives and literary collectors.
LOVEWANT magazine and Perimeter Books are joining forces to gift Brisbane a temporary bookstore where charmingly clever printed offerings and editorial inspiration can be found. Running from Friday October 24 – 26, the limited-time speciality store can be found at 65 James Street.
As a feature of the Art on James creative series, the literary pop-up will showcase rare issues from LOVEWANT’s archives of contemporary art, photography and fashion pieces, offering an exciting opportunity for fans of the Sydney-based magazine to pour over exclusive content.
Melbourne-based Perimeter Books, Australia’s leading specialised bookstore (and award-winning publisher and distribution house), will supply a curated selection of independent titles covering the realms of architecture, photography, design, art and culture.
