Established in 1971, Tattered Cover Book Store is one of America’s premier independent bookstores, a Denver institution, a community gathering place and an experience you can’t download. Tattered Cover is a locally-owned business with four unique stores in metro Denver and three satellite stores at Denver International Airport. Each location offers personal service and a large, well-curated selection of new and used books and gifts. We host hundreds of authors, illustrators, public figures, community events and book festivals annually, and our school programs get kids reading.
