The Tattered Cover Bookstore is like a comfy old chair where you can relax and get away from the busy outside world. Go in and sip on a coffee drink, peruse all the interesting reading materials and fun gifts for book lovers. Also, the Omonoia Greek Bakery is a short walk away and Voodoo Doughnuts is less than a mile from there. They also have other locations if you're not near Colfax Ave.

If you have ever watched Harry Potter then you know the feeling of a magical place where you colle loose yourself in the books. Targeted Cover Bookstore feels like that plus so much more. They have great souvenirs and all around a huge variety of books for anyone.

This was a must see on our tour of Denver. No pressure to buy anything, great environment to relax and read. Grab a cup of coffee you will not be disappointed.

I LOVE this bookstore. I always stop here when I’m on Denver. Independent bookstores are hard to come by, and I’m so happy to have stumbled upon this cozy, comfortable storefront on Colfax. It’s got a great vibe. Staff is helpful. And the cafe serves up a great cup of tea. Definitely worth a stop if you’re in the Denver area!

What a wonderful find. I LOVE finding independent book stores. This one is a gem. So many books so little time. Comfy chairs are placed throughout. There is a lovely sitting area, and a little coffee shop. They have a small selection of used books. The staff is friendly and helpful. If you like books, you would love this place.

When I came into tattered cover bookstore I was greeted by viscous and conceited employees who made this bookstore a horrible experience. I would strongly recommend not going here unless you want to be greeted with mean employees who refuse to help you. I am disappointed and hurt at the treatment I received here and would not recommend.

I went for a book signing but had time to walk around and browse. Lots of places to sit and relax to read or work. I loved the curated book shelves located throughout the store -- It made it fun to browse and discover new books.

I am a huge fan of the independent bookstore, and had heard much about Tattered Cover, so was excited to check it out. I was a bit disappointed. The space is rather dark and warren-like. The selection of children's books was pretty lacking. It doesn't come close to, for example, Powell's in Portland, or even Bookshop Santa Cruz. I even enjoy Barnes & Noble (I know, I know) more than this space.

Actually, I have no idea whether or not it's the best bookstore in America. There are a lot of contenders. But I have a sister-in-law who is a New York City literary agent, and it is her favorite bookstore. She's the expert. Me, I've been going there for decades and love the place. It's a store that sells books and orders books for you and the people are nice and there are chairs to sit in...what can you say? Oh: 1. It's independent! Support your independent bookstore! and 2. It's right next to the best independent CD/vinyl store in Denver and 3. It's right next to the best foreign/independent movie theater in Denver. 4. It's near my house. I guess that last one doesn't help unless you're staying with me, though, huh.

Have just returned from a visit to the U.S.A. This included a stay in Denver and a visit to the "Tattered Cover" bookstore. After checking Biography, Music and Political Science sections for literature on PAUL ROBESON. Not finding anything I spoke to a member of staff would did a computer check after I gave the correct spelling of Robeson. The search proved fruitless and the assistant admitted to never having heard of Paul Robeson. In America, in an American bookstore, no knowledge of a great American. Shame on you "Tattered Cover", shame, shame, shame.
