Tattered Cover Bookstore
Denver, Colorado
It's not in the same place it started, but that doesn't make the Tattered Cover Bookstore any less of a local institution. Founded in 1971, this independent bookstore offers a large selection of new, used, and bargain books spread across two floors. The space boasts plenty of antique furnishings and lamps that create perfect nooks for previewing your next purchase, as well as a cafe, free Wi-Fi, and a world-class newsstand. We're partial to the historic LoDo location — which is near both Union Station and Coors Field — but you can get a similar experience at the Colfax Ave. and Highlands Ranch branches.
