The Unpublished Book is the first photographic art book to appear in bookstores without permission. First spotted at Ginza Tsutaya Books in Tokyo and the Tokyo Photographic Art Museum, the book pops up in locations around the world. Since it is not an official part of the store’s catalog, the first person to find it can take it home, turning The Unpublished Book into a unique collector’s item.

The first edition of The Unpublished Book was spotted by Jack on his last day traveling through Japan. He hesitated to buy it—a decision he soon regretted. Determined to make it right, Jack reached out on Instagram, and they arranged to meet. Thomas personally handed him a copy. Grateful, Jack encouraged him to check out the Art Book Fair at the Museum of Contemporary Art. Following the suggestion, Thomas attended—and The Unpublished Book made its mark there too.
The Unpublished Book finally appeared on the Art Book Fair at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Tokyo, Japan.
