Pharmacy Books

I've been publishing artists' books and editions since 2018 (previously known as First Last). Our launch events have spanned across New York, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, and Tokyo. The project serves as a space for exploration in image making and publication design. Our titles can be found at the Haas Arts Library (Yale University) and the Fisher Fine Arts Library at the (University of Pennsylvania). Our books are distributed in shops internationally including Commune (Tokyo), Bungee Space (NYC), and Actual Source (Provo, UT). pharmacy-books.com
