Tattered Cover Bookstore has such nice and helpful employees, they have a
really huge selection of books, magazines, newspapers and cds. There's also
a coffee shop where you could have something to eat and drink while talking to
friends or reading. I really enjoy going there, I would recommend it to anyone.
Nothing everyone hasn't heard before, but they have something for everyone!! Even in the middle of the DNC, when I stopped by and, during my shopping, asked if the Tolkein calendars had come in for this year. He checked the computer, we looked on a couple stands, another employee saw us and jumped in...I got my calendar, and half the store employees helped me!!!
A Denver tradition. Always outstanding service and great browsing. If they don't carry a book (which is rare), they'll order it for you.
I like the homey feeling of Tattered Cover, along with its excellent selection of books. Even though I haven't attended author visits, I'm impressed with the number and quality of them
Consistently friendly service. Has books that I could not find at Borders or Barnes and Noble. I love the author book signing and talks... Keep up the excellent work
very helpful for both teachers and as an individual just looking for something of interest
The reputation of the Tattered Cover precedes it, a review is almost unnecessary. A huge selection of books, books I would never expect to find, and a great fun atmosphere make this the best place to get my literature on. I was admittedly disappointed at their move from Cherry Creek, but I've come to realize that this store is just as good, if not better, than the old one. Excellent excellent store.
Always a great experience at this book store! Great selection and wonderful atmosphere! My very favorite bookstore!
The inventory of a "Big Box Store" with the intimate staff who are actually knowledgable and helpful.
The Tattered Cover is buzzing with the best variety and availibility. The podcasts are enriching.
It's a community meeting place to not only read, but to discuss whatever is of interest. Tattered Cover shows an interest in the community and understands the value of an informed public in a democracy.
Great store, everything you might want or can order, especially helpful staff. It even smells good in the store. Can sit and read, see favorite authors. THANK YOU!
Love independent book stores. Tattered is like another home with lots of helpful people.
Sorry they left Cherry Creek - what a loss, but love what you've done at the new location on Colfax.
I enjoy the fact that the atmosphere is relaxed and I never feel hurried to leave. If I want to browse through a book to determine if I want to buy it, I can take all the time I need. I miss the ambiance of the Cherry Creek store, but the new one has its own unique qualities.
Thank you! I love all of the books that you guys have ever recommended! Good Luck!
No explanation necessary - this is the best bookstore anywhere...not just Denver!
Always have the best selection - I prefer the downtown store location since Colfax is kinda gross.
There's ALWAYS something there begging me to pick it up and take it home! Wonderful place!!
They provide a wide range of issues by providing us with prominent speakers, good books, good setting for just having a good time reading and exploring the books and many more reasons!!!!
They have created a wonderful environment to explore books of all kinds and for all interests
Joyce created this home away from home with the cozy nooks, professional, friendly, staff with knowledge that very few book stores could vision to create.
Not only do they have a great selection of books, other items and knowledgeable staff, Joyce Meskis and the Tattered Cover is ready to defend our basic freedoms.
I love our trips to Tattered Cover. I love the memories of taking my grandchildren to the bookstore and their joy each time.
