Why go

Tattered Cover began as a small Denver bookshop in 1971 and grew into a familiar local bookselling name. The Colfax store gives that history a present-day address: browse the shelves, pause in the café and check its events if a reading would make the trip worthwhile.

  • Shelves of new and used books at the Colfax store

Useful to know

  • Use the Colfax Avenue address when planning the visit; older branch locations have changed.
