Apparently it's not all cheese, clocks, and chocolate

The Swiss also make some of the strangest, coolest-looking art books in the world, judging by those of six-year-old independent publishing house Nieves. And tomorrow night, the brand is finally opening its first stateside bookstore, a 75-square-foot pop-up shop inside L.A. hipster boutique Ooga Booga.

The place will carry 120 new, rare, and out-of-print titles—including 333, right, a collection of collages and drawings by NYC artist Marcel Dzama, and Emerald, left, a zine by Boredoms drummer Yoshimi P-We. (She also inspired The Flaming Lips' 2002 album Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots.) On Thursdays, the location will host book signings by artists like Ari Marcopoulos and Mike Mills (the director, not the R.E.M. bassist). But stop by soon—the store closes in a month.
Nieves Library at Ooga Booga, tomorrow night through April 3, 943 N. Broadway #203, Los Angeles, oogaboogastore.com; nievesbooks.com
