Book shopping can be tedious and irritating, especially if you are looking for rare or hard to find books. Even more so if you are looking for one of those books in a huge bookstore that carries everything but what you are looking for.
Now German underground bookstore, Motto Berlin, is here to save the day. They specialize in “fanzines, small run magazines, books and self published printed matter." With wood-panelling, glass showcases that house their more limited and exclusive offerings, and drawers that hold back issues, Motto Berlin can act as a gallery, reference library and retailer.
