A Family’s Love Affair with Books

Highlands Bookshop is more than just an online store; it’s a mother-daughter journey through the pages of history. Our bookshop is a testament to a shared love for books that have stood the test of time. We strive to offer a well-curated, rich and diverse selection — spanning antiquarian and rare books, first editions, Belarusian literature, and vinyl records — that’s of interest to collectors and casual readers alike.

Our Online Experience: Bringing the Bookshop to You

While nestled in the Haliburton Highlands, we are online-first and our selection can be viewed or purchased right here on our site, on eBay, AbeBooks, Facebook, Instagram, Etsy (currently on pause). We take pride in offering a user-friendly and reliable online book shopping experience.

Our Commitment to You

We understand the joy that comes from holding a piece of history in your hands. That’s why we want to ensure every book we offer is a journey in itself. Our commitment to quality and authenticity is what drives us. Most of our books have their own stories, sometimes spanning well over a century — and these stories leave their marks. While we make every effort to be as detailed and forthcoming about the book identification and condition as possible, mistakes and accidental omissions can happen. Should this occur, or should you require any additional detail or clarification on any find in our collection, please get in touch and we’ll be happy to assist.
