About Us

artbooks.ph is a bookstore specialising in printed matter from the Philippines. With its vast archive of out-of-print, previously owned, and contemporary books, zines, and catalogs, the collection’s subject matter includes a spectrum from subcultures to popular culture. Sourcing regularly from artists, independent publishers, and small presses in the Philippines, artbooks.ph serves as a living archive of the multitude of voices and perspectives produced by the expansive cultural sphere of the Philippines.

Established by Ringo Bunoan and Katya Guerrero in 2014, the co-founders passed the initiative to Monica Urquijo Zobel in 2025. Expanding upon Bunoan and Guerreo’s definition of “the art book” as a visual object, Zobel will act as a publisher and curator in creative partnership with her design studio, Mestiza Estudio.

We thrive on the discovery of books that record the various narratives and aspects of Philippine art and culture and we are happy to suggest, discuss, and search for hard-to-find books for our customers.

We offer local and international courier delivery and ship within 4-5 working days. We also accept special orders.

For bulk orders, shipping and payment options, and other inquiries, email us at info@artbooks.ph.
