High Peaks Publishing House produces limited edition, handmade books as art as cultural surveys of the Adirondack region of New York State. Extensive research is subsequently polished and restaged within exploratory book structures. Traditional and digital design and printing practices are combined in search of the delicate balance between historical and contemporary, craft and design.

High Peaks Publishing House produces artists books that appropriate preexisting media into the context of design as art. Media is collected, edited, and combined to form cultural surveys of Upstate New York.

The book is a powerful and versatile container in which High Peaks Publishing House is immersed. The very nature of a container is to set boundaries. Setting boundaries unfolds opportunity to search inward, to dig infinitely deeper in pursuit of singularity between form and function, craft and design.
