Tattered Cover on Colfax Avenue
This Colfax Avenue bookstore and café offers an unhurried browse through new and used books. Go for the shop itself, rather than expecting the former downtown branches.
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.
