PAUMES Books to inspire.

OK, you can't actually read them, cause the text is in Japanese but the graphics and images are stunning.
PAUMES is a Japanese publisher working in close contact with artists and designers around Europe.  The little books document the environments of those in the creative industries. 
I ordered mine on line, with postage they end up roughly (Aussie) $30 each.
