To start at the beginning. My wife and I conceived the idea of Counter-Print, like many a great idea before, at the pub. We'd been buying vintage books from her native Belgium for some time and bringing them in to work to show our colleagues at our respective design studios in London. We'd sold the odd book we had bought back to friends and colleagues, not for a profit I might add, but this led us to believe that there might be an opportunity for selling these titles to a wider audience.
Our first site only had a few books available but every time we would put them on, they would quickly sell. The joy of unearthing classic design books on our travels in Belgium and Holland, coupled with the buzz of 'the sale' lead to a really rewarding period in our lives, both professionally and personally. We traveled, met wonderful like-minded people and were able to explore our passion for books and design which dated back to our time studying Graphic Design on the same course at University.
