One of the most frequently asked questions ever on Cerysmatic Factory is "Where can I buy original / reproduction Peter Saville prints / posters?"

For repro and original works try searching for "Peter Saville" on eBay. Also, try Vinyl Revival (eBay seller id = northatitsheight).

Try Paul Stolper for official Saville limited edition prints and other works.
