Info

Central Library is an online shop based in the North West of England that sells zines, DVDs and other interesting bits and pieces.

It’s a small time operation ran by people who have full time jobs, so if something takes a few days to arrive, bear with us.

Thanks.

Injury Time is a 28 page photo zine from Peterlee icepick grind connoisseur Tim Evans (@timbuk22). Put together during 8 weeks off the bike recovering from a dislocated shoulder - it is, as Tim put it, a riding zine without the riding. This basically means it's full of photos of the sorts of strange things you notice whilst out riding that are often taken for granted - things like parked cars under protective sheets and shopping trolleys filled with watermelons. Available now...
