The Art of the Book: A Curated Collection at Clic

Our Centre Street store in SoHo features a beautifully curated selection of books from some of the world’s leading publishers. Each title is handpicked not just for its visual appeal, but for its thoughtful content, quality of photography and design, and ability to spark curiosity or conversation. We seek out books that reflect timeless taste, seasonal inspiration, and artistic value—whether it’s a deep dive into an artist’s portfolio, a look inside a renowned designer’s studio, or an inspiring cookbook. From richly illustrated art volumes to elegant interior design monographs and compelling reads on photography and fashion, these books invite you to explore and unwind.
