LASAL BOOKS: Online Art, Architecture & Photography Bookstore

LASAL BOOKS is a premier online destination and specialized bookstore based in Vigo, Spain, dedicated to the intersection of art, architecture, photography, design, and illustration. Established by Iria Costas, a graphic design professional, and Luis Toba, a specialist in photography, the project initially launched as a digital-first platform before expanding into a physical space within the MARCO (Museum of Contemporary Art of Vigo). Although its physical presence has shifted, LASAL BOOKS continues to operate its successful online shop, curating an exceptional collection of visual media for a global audience. The bookstore's mission is to provide a dedicated space for discovering emerging voices in the creative world while honoring established classics. Their inventory includes a diverse range of items, from limited edition photobooks and architectural monographs to illustration-focused publications and themed magazines like the "Flora: Natural vs Artificial" series. Notable works featured in their catalog include "Lost Coast" by Curran Hatleberg and self-published titles like "Arma de construcción masiva." LASAL BOOKS emphasizes the importance of the physical book as an art object, offering services such as specialized gift wrapping to enhance the reader's experience. By fostering a community for artists and enthusiasts, they serve as a critical node in the cultural landscape of Galicia and beyond. Whether searching for rare printings or the latest in contemporary visual culture, patrons find a meticulously chosen selection that reflects the founders' deep expertise and passion for the arts.
