Curated by Subject Books by the Foot
Books by the Foot — Expertly Curated Collections by Juniper Custom
There is something transformative about a well-curated bookshelf. It signals taste, curiosity, and a life well-lived — and for over 25 years, Juniper Custom has been in the business of creating exactly that. We've spent decades perfecting the art of selecting books that don't just fill space, but define it. Books that invite you to reach out, pull them from the shelf, and lose yourself in their pages. Books that become the soul of a room.
That same curatorial philosophy — the one that has made Juniper Books synonymous with beautiful, meaningful, thoughtfully assembled libraries — is now available through our Books by the Foot service.
What Is Books by the Foot?
Books by the Foot is the most beautiful, efficient way to acquire brand new, high-quality books in volume. Whether you're building a home library, designing an inspiring office, styling a boutique hotel, or sourcing for film and television, our curated collections deliver instant visual impact alongside genuine intellectual substance. Every title is brand new, hand-selected, and chosen with the same discerning eye Juniper Custom has brought to some of the most spectacular private libraries in the country.
This isn't décor. This is a library — and there's a difference.
Our Ready-to-Ship Curated Collections
We offer four signature collections, each a reflection of our curators' deep expertise and enduring passion for books as objects of beauty and meaning. Available to ship quickly, so your shelves can be transformed without delay.
Oversized: Art & Design
The collection for shelves that are meant to be noticed. Featuring large-format coffee table books spanning architecture, contemporary art, cultural history, interior design, fashion, and photography, these are volumes that anchor a room and command attention. Each book stands between 10–14 inches in height — the kind that guests gravitate toward, that spark conversation, and that make any space feel considered and alive. Ideal for living rooms, creative studios, and hospitality environments where visual identity matters.
Standard Size: Mixed Subjects
For the reader who wants their shelves to feel genuinely inhabited. This collection brings together a compelling mix of literature, narrative non-fiction, history, and biography — the kind of eclectic, layered selection that tells a story about the person who assembled it, even when they had a little expert help. Each title stands between 8–10 inches, perfect for creating that deeply satisfying, floor-to-ceiling library aesthetic that feels both curated and organically grown. Ideal for home libraries, reading rooms, and studies.
