Last week I received a box of great books from NBM’s recent sale. Apparently NBM are the second largest indie publisher (after Fantagraphics) with sales of over $3 mil a year. That’s impressive. They specialise in non-spandex adventures and translations of European books, as well as American and Canadian works. I took the opportunity to grab some bargains and now they are sitting on my ever growing pile of unread comics and books. They’re all such unique and beautiful books though. Below are a few photos to try and capture the elegant diversity of goodies.

It's so hard to portray the unique packaging and contents of Acme

Raptors IV by Dufaux & Marini

Yeah, that Chris Ware book is stunning.
The stories inside are amazingly ranged too.
I have that book of Schuiten, and another of his stories. They’re tricky to track down in english tho, so let us know if you see any pop up on the market?
Ware does some great stuff, hey? Check out NBM for some Schuiten stuff too.
