How often do you find a bookstore listed as one of a major city's top 5 attractions? Well this is such a place, and well deserving of it. The name IS a bit misleading. Almost everyone I told about it assumed it is a used bookstore. Indeed it is one of the finest new bookstores I have ever visited. It... more

We drop by the bookstore once a year or so when in Denver visiting family and were surprised to see that the Tattered Cover had moved. It is now many stoplights from the freeways. While the selection of books is as impressive as ever, I was disappointed with three aspects of the new store. The coffee shop is squeezed in... more

I was looking for a place to rest up after dropping a family member off at the airport before visiting Denver. Totally on the recommendations of tripadvisor members, I decided to visit the Tattered cover bookstore. We stopped at the one on Colfax on a Sunday morning. Now, I love books and even work at a library, but this, THIS... more

This independent bookstore near 16th street mall is a Denver landmark and a great place to spend a few hours on any afternoon. The book selection and knowledgable staff are anything but formidable and overwhelming. The store layout is perfect. I'd highly recommend this bookstore. more

This is the way bookstores are supposed to be. From the moment you walk into the Tattered Cover you know that you are surrounded by people who love books in an atmosphere meant for booklovers. There were two things about the Tattered Cover Bookstore that really caught my attention - the first was the customers that looked as if they... more

This place has a great atmosphere to it. Situated on the 16th Street Mall toward the Millennium Bridge, it was a nice pit stop after a long, hot walk today. Books and magazines as far as the eye could see. Great little tuckaway areas to read or peruse. Overall, a recommended stop to see what large, great bookstores looked like... more

The Tattered Cover is everything a bookshope should be - huge, comfortable, relaxed but organised and stacked to the roof with books, maps, magazines, greetings card, but mostly, books. The cafe on the ground floor could be a little larger, but then there would be less room for stock. I cant imagine going to Denver without visiting the Tattered Cover.... more
