Friend Editions
Friend Editions is a collaborative publishing platform founded by Oliver Shaw in 2022 and based between New York and Los Angeles. It began with a one-colour Xerox zine printed for the Sunday's Zine Swap in Los Angeles, and every title since has carried a number in a running catalogue, from FE01 onwards. The house works in small editions, most of them between fifty and a few hundred copies, with emerging and established artists, and gives each book a form of its own: stapled zines on uncoated stock, casebound books with a tipped-in image, an oversized lay-flat volume like Ewen Spencer's One Night in Watford, or Jerry Hsu's Lonley City, 366 pages shot entirely on iPhone. Richard Kern's Grey Cards comes with a grey card tipped into its cover. Friend Editions also co-publishes with other imprints and brands, and makes clothing, hats and tote bags with its monogram alongside the books.
