Since being founded by Nicola Bortoletto in 2022, Milan-based book and artefact library Veins Books has been a go-to destination for all things cult and covetable. After a very successful recent Paris pop-up, now Bortoletto is setting up shop in his home city of Milan – in an industrial space on Via Cosimo del Fante 6 from September 13–14, 2025.

You can expect the usual treasure trove of rare publications and cultural artefacts, but this time an even broader selection, delving deeper into themes of counterculture, underground movements, and their intersections with art and fashion. Search and you’ll find a copy of Larry Clark’s infamous The Perfect Childhood, a Japanese Buffalo ’66 photobook, and Dash Snow’s collection of Polaroid photography documenting 00s Lower East Side. 

See a selection of publications on sale below – make your wishlist, and arrive early!

Veins Books Pop-up Library in Milan runs September 13–14 at Via Cosimo Del Fante 6, Milan.
