FAQ
Books and Stationery in Cincinnati: Questions We Get Asked on the Floor
If you have a question that isn't here, just ask. That's what we're here for.
What books and stationery does High St. carry?
Art and design books, cookbooks, cocktail books and small gift books, plus greeting cards, letterpress cards, notes, notebooks, wrapping paper and desk accessories. The large-format titles have their own coffee table books collection.
What's a good book for someone who loves design?
Leslie Banker's Think Like a Decorator or Frida Ramstedt's The Interior Design Handbook. Banker writes about seeing a room the way a decorator does, with insights from celebrated designers, and Ramstedt covers the basic rules behind any style, with illustrations throughout.
What's the best cocktail book for a home bar?
The Encyclopedia of Cocktails covers the history behind the drinks, and The Essential Cocktail Book and The Essential Bar Book cover recipes and technique. Art of Cocktails is the one to leave out on the bar cart, and Mocktail Club covers the drinks without the spirits.
Where are your letterpress cards printed?
Chez Gagné prints its cards on a vintage letterpress in California, and they're blank inside for your own note. Alexa Pulitzer's flat notes are designed and printed in New Orleans with soy-based ink.
Do you sell wrapping paper?
Yes. We don't offer traditional gift wrap, so we stock paper for wrapping at home, from Red Cap Cards' Wild Kingdom, Woodland Mushrooms and Otomi prints to Giftsland's handmade silkscreen sheets from Kathmandu. Neon pink tissue paper and Art Deco wine gift bags are on the shelf too.
What's the difference between books and stationery and coffee table books?
Coffee table books are the large-format, image-led titles meant to live out in a room. Books and stationery covers everything else, from cookbooks and gift books to cards, notebooks and wrapping paper.
Do you sell e-books or audiobooks?
No. Everything here is print, from hardcover art books to letterpress cards. Call 513.723.1901 to ask whether a specific title is on the floor before you come in.
Where can I buy books and stationery in Cincinnati?
High St., a 17,000-square-foot lifestyle store at 1401 Reading Rd in Over-the-Rhine, carries books, cards and wrapping paper alongside housewares and gifts. We're open every day but Tuesday, 10am to 6pm, with Sunday hours of 11am to 4pm. In-stock online orders are usually ready for pickup in about two hours, and shipping is free over $150.
