EB Garamond in charcoal and oxblood, thin rules above and below, a small diamond ornament and generous ivory margins give it a quiet, literary tone, with Libre Franklin for the order-page headings and list lines and Lora for the body text. The sample contents runs from fiction and literature to journals and notebooks, writing instruments, art and photo books, and desk accessories. Publishers can use it for a seasonal list, distributors for a stock catalog and stationers for a mixed books-and-gifts range. Add titles from Shopify, a CSV file or a product feed, lay them out in grids or one-column rows, and show SKU, barcode and price on every card. A photo version stacks photo prints on the cover, runs a photo band across the divider and puts a book photo behind the back page. Recolor it with 12 palettes, print the order form page, or take orders through the wholesale flipbook. ## Best for - Independent publishers presenting a seasonal list to bookstores - Book distributors and wholesalers with a mixed stock catalog - Gift and stationery brands that also publish journals and books - University and museum presses preparing a print catalog for buyers - Book fair and trade show stands taking orders on paper ## Pages in this template **Clean version** (crisp layouts, lots of white space): Cover, Welcome, Contents, How to order, Divider, Order form, Back page **Photo version** (photos on the cover, divider and back page): Cover, Welcome, Contents, How to order, Divider, Order form, Back page ## Highlights ### Title-page cover (Cover page) Books & Stationery is set in two lines of EB Garamond, the second in oxblood, between fine rules with a diamond ornament and an edition line. Swap in your imprint and season, for example a spring list. ### Contents for a mixed list (Contents page) Five sections with page numbers, from fiction and literature to desk accessories, set in a clean sans under a serif heading. Publishers can rename them frontlist, backlist and gift titles; stationers can use notebooks, pens and paper. ### Wholesale order form for bookstores (Order form page) Fields for the bookstore, contact, PO number and ship-to sit above a ruled table for item or SKU, description, quantity, unit price and total. Put the ISBN in the item column and bookstores can fill it in at a fair or return it by email. ### Section divider for genres and imprints (Divider page) Each section opens with a numbered divider, a title in EB Garamond and a short introduction. Use it to introduce a genre, an author series or a new imprint, and to break a long list into readable parts. ## What to include in a book catalog for bookstores 1. **Give buyers the bibliographic basics** — For every title list author, format (hardcover or paperback), page count, trim size, publication date, ISBN and retail price. Bookstore buyers order from these details, and a missing ISBN slows every order down, from the buyer's desk to the receiving room. 2. **Lead with the frontlist, keep the backlist tight** — Put new and forthcoming titles first, each with a short pitch and any review lines you have permission to quote, then list steady backlist sellers on compact line-sheet pages. Buyers read the front of a catalog closely and scan the back. 3. **Publish discount and returns terms** — Bookselling runs on trade discounts and returns. State your discount off list price, returns policy, minimum order and shipping terms on the how-to-order page, so a new account can place an order without first calling to ask. 4. **Time the catalog to publishing seasons** — Publishers usually present spring and fall lists several months before publication, so stores can pre-order ahead of release. Send the catalog with enough lead time for buyers to plan, and mark the publication month on every title. ## How it works 1. **Start with this set** — Open Books & Stationery in EasyCatalog, in the clean or the photo version, and recolor it with one of 12 palettes if you like. 2. **Add your products** — Import from Shopify in one click, or upload a CSV, connect WooCommerce or a product feed. Your products fill the product pages automatically. 3. **Download or share** — Export a print-ready PDF (up to 300 DPI, CMYK and bleed for print shops) or share an online flipbook with a built-in order form. ## FAQ ### What pages are in the Books & Stationery template set? Seven: a title-page cover, a welcome letter signed by the founder, a contents page, a how-to-order page, a collection divider, a wholesale order form and a back page with your contact details. A photo version adds a stack of photo prints to the cover, a photo band to the divider and a full-bleed photo of open books behind the back page, and all of it can be recolored with 12 palettes. ### Can I include ISBNs and authors on the product pages? Yes. Product cards can show SKU, barcode, vendor, type, tags and Shopify metafields, so ISBN, author and format can come from the fields where you already keep them. Style one card and apply it to every title in the catalog. ### How do I make a book catalog for bookstores? Choose the titles you want to sell this season, group them by genre or imprint, and give each one a cover image, author, format, ISBN, price and a two-line pitch. Add ordering terms and an order form, then send buyers a print PDF and a flipbook link. ### Should a publisher's catalog include backlist titles? Yes, but briefly. Frontlist titles get space and a pitch, while backlist titles that still sell can go on dense one-column pages with author, format, ISBN and price. Stores reorder backlist steadily, and keeping it in the catalog makes those reorders easy. ## Design details - Colors: #fbf8f1, #2c2824, #7c3245, #e6e0d6, #6e675e - Fonts: EB Garamond, Libre Franklin, Lora ## Related templates - [Books & Stationery Premium](https://www.easycatalog.com/catalog-templates/books-stationery-premium) — Premium industry template - [Books & Stationery](https://www.easycatalog.com/catalog-templates/books-stationery) — Design kit - [Staff Picks](https://www.easycatalog.com/catalog-templates/staff-picks) — Campaign template - [Exclusive Collection](https://www.easycatalog.com/catalog-templates/exclusive-collection) — Campaign template - [Office Supplies](https://www.easycatalog.com/catalog-templates/office-supplies-classic) — Classic template set - [Office Supplies Premium](https://www.easycatalog.com/catalog-templates/office-supplies-premium) — Premium industry template --- All catalog templates: https://www.easycatalog.com/catalog-templates · Site summary for AI tools: https://www.easycatalog.com/llms.txt · Updated 2026-10-13
