River House Books has been a cherished part of New Hope's arts community since 2005, when owners Michael Torres and James Whitfield transformed a 19th-century stone cottage along the Delaware Canal into an intimate literary haven. The shop's location in one of Pennsylvania's most celebrated arts towns informs its collection, which leans heavily toward art books, photography monographs, and design titles. The LGBTQ+ literature section is one of the most comprehensive in the region, reflecting New Hope's long history as a welcoming community. Travel writing fills an entire wall, inspiring the many visitors who pass through this popular tourist destination. During warmer months, the small garden patio behind the store becomes a peaceful reading spot where customers can listen to the gentle sounds of the canal.
