Independent London Store Guide. Moritz Steiger, Effie Fotaki

A complete update! 2012 edition. Following the success of their previous book, Moritz and Effie aimed to update their popular review of London's best independent shops, especially in these quickly changing times. Using a photography-rich format with a gatefold cover and clear maps, it highlights pubs, cafes, and places to eat while shopping. Independent shops support small artisan creators and reflect local social diversity, acting as a front line against global monoculture. The book seeks to showcase parts of London often missed by others and to support independent shops by raising their profile.
