shift gasbooks 1-21 mint condition

[billbixby]

i have these sitting in a box, given to me as a gift, just not interested. i flipped thru tomato's carefully and put it back. but otherwise, i would like to get rid of these. i'd ask 900. shipping not included.

not interested in posting this on ebay. open to ideas about price.

they are in my closet in LA, i will verify that i have up to 21, could be 22 or even 20, but 1-19 are definitely there.

I'm speachless...

I own about 10 of them or so and would never part with them.. but i can't imagine owning the first twenty or so...

somebody buy this.

thanks.

shift (shift.jp.org) is a design resource, one of the most old school ones

for design after 1990. they have a wing called Gas shop, which has artist

goods. Gas books, then, are monographs of certain studios, basically

work overviews of lesser known but highly influential design houses.

for instance: tomato, work in progress, blue source all have a gas book

of their own, about 100 pages, hardcover, with full color images of lots

of their work, plus interviews and other material relevant to the firm.

(as im describing it im wondering again why im selling these, but then

i remember i just need money and don't want them around to plagiarize from)

i will bump this thread once more when i take pictures and include

a complete title list of all the books.

background on why i have these: they were given to me by the distributor

of shift's titles in the USA, as payment and research material for a catalog

i was designing for them. i was glad to get the books, but because i am constantly

on the move between the east and west coast, they've sat unread in my closet

forever along with a ton of other design junk that i should sell off here.

nobody seems interested though.

are you necessarily selling these as a complete set or no?

Are you serious? Some of the most influencial graphic designers have contributed to Gasbook; tomato, designers republic, goovisions, etc. It's sort of a modern anthology of graphic design. I'M VERY INTERESTED!

[Servo2000]

I'm interested, but I don't have to money for all of them.

[onemancult]

after some quick research, i just want it publicly known that if our pal bill is willing to let these go individually instead of all at once, i am officially calling diiiiiiiiibssss on:

Madsaki/Jun Takahashi

PAM/Fergadelic

[Servo2000]

OMC, where did you find information about which designers are on which issues? I'd love to take a look, although I see you already called Jun Takashi you dick, haha.

PM me!

[onemancult]

Sent- there're even a few page previews for each book.

If anyone else is interested, let me know. Or, use Google.

[billbixby]

before my thread got hijacked....

i am only selling these as a complete set. its unfair really, but i have no car in LA and don't want to keep hauling to the post office for seperate trips.

Wow!!!! Good deal Rajiv.

[billbixby]

this sale is officially closed. rajiv pointed out that the books are still actually available for sale on the shift site. i honestly thought some were long out of print and rare. but, they are all available. you could land all of them for about 500 bucks. apologies. i guess i will hang on to these and let them gather some dust.
