Roy J. Shipman, High Point Trivia & City Scenes. Signed by author.  $75.00

The City of High Point celebrated its sesquicentennial in 2009.  The city, however, has relatively few formal histories written about it.  This volume is a compilation of facts and trivia about High Point throughout its history.  Its author, Roy J. Shipman, has been a member of the High Point Historical Commission and a long-time High Point resident.

High Point is a city of many facets.  Although the city has grown a reputation as the Furniture Marketing Capital of the World, we High Pointers also think the good life rests in enjoying simple things - like this cardinal on a wintry dogwood branch, a beautiful  High Point winter scene:

Books about High Point/by High Pointers
Books about North Carolina

High Point, North Carolina, is the home of Cat's Cradle Books. As online booksellers, we think we have chosen well. High Point is located in the geographic center of the state. The community has been a crossroads of transportation (legend says we were on the "high point" of the North Carolina railroad route that came through this part of the state in the 1850s). In the twentieth century, High Point has been best noted for its furniture and hosiery industries, and later for its stature as an international furniture marketing center. Twice a year, the international furniture market swells the population of High Point to double its usual size. The city is also home to High Point University, which developed in recent years from its origins as High Point College.

This month we feature books in our online bookstore about High Point, North Carolina and the surrounding area, as well as books by High Point residents and nearby authors.

We also invite our bookstore visitors to explore High Point through the following links:
