Books + Stationery


A bookshop inside a design store, for people who still believe the right book belongs on the table as much as the shelf: that's what this collection is built to be.

Out of our Over-the-Rhine showroom, we carry books across architecture and design, art and photography, food and drink, travel, history and culture, literature, and children's titles, plus stationery — desk accessories, gift wrap, and greeting cards — sourced as a mix of publisher backlist and small-press titles our team tracks down.

Every title on this shelf passed the same test as the room it's sitting in: would we actually leave it out? A book that only looks good in a stock photo doesn't make the cut.

High St. is not a big-box bookstore with ten copies of everything. We are a design destination, and the books here are chosen with the same eye we bring to furniture and lighting — for how they read on a shelf and how often they get pulled back down.

Whether you're building a shelf one spine at a time or you need a card and a bow before you walk out the door, start here. For the large-format shelf-anchors, our coffee table books collection is its own destination inside this one.

By Category: Books

Architecture + Design: monographs and studio retrospectives for the renovator or the obsessive.

Art + Photography: gallery-scale images and artist collections meant to be revisited.

Food + Drink: cookbooks that earn a spot on the counter as much as the shelf.

Travel: books that carry a bit of somewhere else into the room.

History + Culture: for readers who want the story behind the story.

Literature: fiction and the occasional novel we couldn't put down.

Children's: titles worth reading more than once.

Craft + Hobby + Reference: for the maker who wants a project, not just a picture.

Music + Pop Culture: for the shelf that's a little less serious.

Stationery

Desk accessories, gift wrap and bags, and greeting cards and stickers round out the shelf — the card and the wrapping paper live right where the book does.

A Shelf Chosen the Same Way We Choose Everything Else

High St. has been on Reading Road for over 20 years, and the same team that selects furniture and lighting for design projects across the region decides which book earns a spot here. If you want the large-format anchors of the shelf, our coffee table books collection is worth a dedicated look.
