Viewpoint Books draws its inspiration from Columbus, Indiana's remarkable architectural heritage, a small city home to buildings by Eero Saarinen, I.M. Pei, and other design luminaries. The store itself is housed in a mid-century commercial building with floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the space with natural light. The architecture and design section is one of the finest in the Midwest, drawing visitors who come to tour the town's famous buildings. Beyond design, the store offers a carefully chosen selection of literary fiction, regional history, and children's books. The cafe serves as an unofficial visitor center where newcomers can get recommendations for both books and architectural walking tours.
