This was a great book store! First, it was huge. Second, it had a really neat and big children's area. Third, it was in a old building and everything inside was old looking and just neat!

Great selection of books and reviews from staff. Small coffee shop, gift wrapping, full service independent book store. A Denver institution!

I was in Denver on business and stumbled across Tattered Cover. What an awesome bookstore! Go when you have a couple hours free so that you can browse all the shelves, enjoy a cup of coffee and sit among the 1,000s of books. Highly recommend!

This is such a lovely bookstore piled high in magic. The old floors and every nook and cranny was full of adventures that await the avid reader.

We enjoyed wandering around in this large, comfortable bookstore. Found a present for our step-grandson that we think he'll like. Worth a stop if you love books!
