Time Being is East Austin's secondhand bookstore, specializing in unique reference materials, eclectic monographs, & rare books. Established in 2023, with the mission to preserve the practice of analog discovery, we’re a source for those driven to research & collect, probe & connect. Based in the Govalle neighborhood of East Austin, the collection of both used & new books is accessible to visitors through our studio situated within the yard of Mass Gallery. Here you’ll find books & ephemera spanning genres, with an emphasis on content concerning art, nature, & the avant-garde. Though our collection features both rare & out of print books, you'll always be able to find handpicked titles priced as low as $5.
