I knew exactly what you w...I love Tattered Cover... I knew exactly what you were talking about the minute you started describing it. It's one of the few things I long for in Denver. The hours of getting lost in shelves that are twice as tall as me. The smell of the new pages, not yet crinkled and sticky from my inevitable coffee spill. Favorite section: Armchair travel (I believe it's on the 3rd floor close to the language section) - full of historical novels and travel companions that are more interesting and cultural than simply browsing through the Lonely Planet guides. For kicks: go to the reference section... my Dad's book(s) are there. They were one of the first bookstores to actively stock them. They have readings and signings all the time (and a pretty good e-newsletter with events and recommended reading etc). They also have this Tattered Cover Club thing that donates 5% of your purchase to charity (and it's free-go figure). It's the largest independent bookseller between the Mississippi River and Powell's books in Oregon. And yep, it's moving in June to an old theater they are restoring. 4th Story Restaurant will unfortunately close permanently. If you have time to go there before June... do it... it's one of THE BEST restaurants in the city... and Monday nights are Jazz night. It looks like the new digs will be pretty cool though... but I'll still miss it's Cherry Creek feel. I feel like I'm sounding like an obsessed Tattered Cover weirdo, crazed fan, and potential stalker. But, it's where I go to buy my Harry Potter at the midnight releases. It's where I check out hot intellectual men. It's where I Christmas shop. It's where Mom took us to pick out our birthday and Christmas presents growing up. It's where I stretch my brain. It's where my soul belongs.Trishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08784183651475685906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9527130.post-1142001120913656202006-03-10T07:32:00.000-07:002006-03-10T07:32:00.000-07:00Just last week, I wrote a post about being a biblo...Just last week, I wrote a <A HREF="http://dsmoya31410.blogspot.com/2006/03/true-confessions.html" REL="nofollow">post</A> about being a biblophile.
