This cultural Denver icon is an attraction to popular Authors. When people think of books in Denver it's associated with Tattered Cover.

Don't let corporate America take them down

by caliraider

I have to give credit to this book store. My kids grew up in the one in CC. I hope everyone supports this bookstore, they are a Denver Icon. They staff is wondeful, and it feels like home.

• Pros: Historical
• Cons: Parking

World-famous bookstore blends a neighborhood-library feel with corner-bookshop attitude and cosmopolitan inventory.

In Short
Now more than 30 years old, the Tattered Cover is legendary and beloved for its service and stock--it carries more than half a million books. This landmark is a model of how an independent can compete with chain stores. Between all the stores, there are more than 600 author readings and children's storytimes a year. Like a small-town library, this gigantic (but not overpowering) store has dozens of places where you can disappear.

Great bargain bin finds!

by caraandmike

Although we prefer the Cherry Creek location, these two stores offer about the same books. The staff is friendly and the bargain bin is worth checking out from time to time. They also make an effort to have lots of authors and book related events, which is unique. (I have had poor customer service from the in-store coffee shop.)

• Pros: Events, bargain bin, seating
• Cons: retail pricing, leftist bias
