He spoke with Stout Books about reproduction quality, the value of publishing, why he doesn’t identify as a book collector, and the exquisite beauty of worming.

Soon Stout will be adding a significant new library to our collection, so we need your help to make space on the shelves. You can explore this rare 40% off sale of design monographs— from Carlo Scarpa and Michele Saee to Eliot Noyes and Richard Neutra, to name just a few— online or in-store from August 10–22, 2026.

We’re also delighted to offer Eames Institute members early access on August 8–9, before the public sale begins. You can become a member at the link in our bio.

The store at 804 Montgomery now opens earlier in the day—at 11:00 am—so you can consume a little creative culture with your lunch by leafing through these volumes IRL.

Celebrate the release of Seeking Abundance: Design, Ecology, and a Flourishing Planet with MASS and meet Alan Ricks, Maggie Jacobstein Stern, and Sierra Bainbridge.

The space will be shaped by a projected and sonic installation, layering visual elements and bird recordings from a MASS project site into the environment. Richard Reed Parry, the Canadian multi-instrumentalist and composer best known as a core member of Arcade Fire, will perform an original piece built off the themes of the publication.

Signed copies will be available.
