Kilgore Books

My favorite local used book store!! Conveniently organized and well curated, with a solid indie comic book/graphic novel selection (and zines!). The owner is very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. Very welcoming and cozy vibes. Also really great prices!!!! Definitely worth a visit.

I got way too many books here, but totally worth it!! Very good selection, huge fantasy/sci-fi selection. And had the exact book I was looking for at a major big box store and couldn’t find! Very friendly staff at the desk as well!

This place was awesome. It’s a gem of a hole in the wall bookstore with a cozy vibe and honestly fire selection of books. Really had a super great time exploring here. It’s also right next to a record store so this whole corner is great to explore and shop.

Kilgore Books is small but contains a variety of books, many of which are gems. I would recommend going to this Denver used bookstore. Street parking is available.

This is a remarkable shop, as much an art gallery as a book store. Of course, the store's close association with cartoonist Noah Van Sciver helps. Regardless, this is clearly a special place. It presents visitors with a unique vision, intriguing and appealing. For a small bookstore, it packs a punch. There are strong selections of used science fiction, general fiction, mysteries, and drama and poetry. (The other sections seem just as good, but I don't know those topics or areas as well...) The collection of hardcovers and trade paperbacks devoted to comics is particularly notable, with many rare and hard-to-find volumes. There's a strong double-shelf of current independent and local comics, along with chapbooks, zines, and other odds and ends. Please note, however, there are no new mainstream comics here. No hold slots for Wednesday Warriors, not to even mention Marvel Zombies. Book collection, yes – the latest issue of X- Men, no. The premises may be snug, but the store offers many delights. There are Kilgore mugs and t-shirts and other paraphernalia, showing that the shop has an active cultural presence, or at least a presence with certain parts of our culture. The stretch of 13th Avenue, from Wax Trax to City O' City, is one of Denver's most Bohemian areas. In my opinion, Kilgore Books is best shop of them all.

Great little used bookstore! Good selection of books and great customer service! I'll definitely be back

The second best used bookstore in the Denver metro area, which is exceptional given extremely stiff competition. You're wont to find at least one juicy thing every time.

The shop itself is great! A large selection of books from a variety of different authors. My wife and I left with a stack of 10+ books to add to your library. It’s in a cool spot that offers walkability to a number of different restaurants and things to do. The only drawback is the parking situation. The surrounding neighborhood streets are always packed, so you’re either going to drive around a while searching for a spot or end up paying for parking a few blocks down at a local lot. Obviously that’s not anything the shop has control over, but just a heads up for your next trip!

Very good selection for a relatively small store! The staff was friendly and I like the location for walking around in Denver before and after visiting. Parking on side streets near by was not difficult!

love this place! eclectic selection, cool space Plan on coming back highly recommended

My favorite type of used book store. Knowledgable staff and a huge selection stacked into a small space. I can't imagine coming in and not walking out with something really cool that you are excited to read.

Aggressive owner and does not know the community. I have going there for years. Boxes were set up a block away and I started to look when the owner began to bark at me just for looking. Thanks John

I will forevermore seek out Kilgore Books when I pass through Denver. They have every work of great literature I look for and don't find at other bookstores- independent and big box alike. Kilgore's inventory is fabulous and perfectly curated. What a gem!

I have never walked out of Kilgore Books empty handed! There have been numerous occasions where I call ahead searching for a rare or less than popular book, and the owner checks their inventory only to tell me they have exactly what I am looking for! Not sure if this is simply me having good luck, or if the owner is that good at stocking the shop! Likely the latter. Regardless, I've been nothing but a happy customer here! As an avid book collector, I have (hesitantly) visited many shops since the pandemic hit. Kilgore requires every customer use hand sanitizer, and is strict about requiring masks and social distancing! I feel very safe shopping here -- more so than several of the other bookstores I have gone to recently.

My husband and I had a little time before our flight from Denver took off yesterday, so we stopped by Kilgore Books. We're very fond of used bookstores & this little place is a perfect example of what you want in a bookstore. There were lots of genres available and both paperback and hardback books were available. There is a very small true crime section that I was unable to find, but John helped me locate it. He was very friendly and engaged my husband & me in conversation about books & other points of interest in town. He told me that Kilgore had been in business for the past 11 years and I hope it stays around for our future trips to the area. The shop has some cool t-shirts and my husband can't wait to wear the one I bought him. We had to dash to ensure we made it to the airport in time, but John was a fun conversationalist and we look forward to returning!

Super cool bookshop located in Cap Hill. Next door to vinyl shop so great place to kill some time. Love the selection of comic books and the curated selection available. Def stop by if you're around

Okay selection of used books, they had some cool first editions, but the whole time that I was there browsing (maybe 20 minutes), the owner was talking to one of his friends and loudly cursing and complaining about how new customers who he had never seen before constantly ask him for discounts on books. Kind of awkward since that was my first time in there, but whatever

I've thought long and hard about what this review should be for - it's my 400th after all. And there was a tough moment when I couldn't decide between Kilgore and Taki Sushi. Then I decided I may be able to live without sushi, but I could never live without books. Kilgore for the win! This place is like magic. It's like what I would want the bookstore I owned to be like. It's like every bibliophiles wet dream, haphazardly categorized into some semblance of neatness so that the owners/workers can find exactly what they are looking for if you ask. Computerized inventory? Only if you count the man's brain. And for all of that I simply adore it. You can find seriously high-quality books here. Although you may never find just the book you are looking for because the space is rather small. Not that I'm complaining - I think it's cozy. As everyone says the prices are reasonable. But, I think my favorite part is I never feel judged no matter what book I'm looking for or even if I can't pronounce the author's name or title of the book. All of that reading in my head makes me say word out loud in a funny way sometimes. So what? I know you've got to have a book in mind that you're itching to read. May I suggest you swing by Kilgore's and see if they have a copy? Even if they don't have that one I'll bet you can find something that makes the stop worthwhile.

I am SO full of shame right now. I lived in Denver for nearly 4 years and visited the 'city' frequently for about 10 years before that. I never ever walked into this place (even when I lived a block away). Please forgive me for the trespasses against you. But I have an excuse!!! I had given up on used book stores. See some people have great eyes and they don't get overwhelmed by lots of crap piled up. They can find the needle in the haystack, the diamond in the rough, the other adage and the next. But I can't keep my peepers from crossing and giving up. Kilgore! You're like the pair of xray specs (RIP Poly) I always needed. The place is small but it is surprisingly well organized. The alphabetization actually exists and is maintained! Halleloo! The sections are really well broken-up and the authors are all the ones that you should've read in your hipster years but never got to because of either a) your drinking habit or b) your nonfiction studiousness or c) your 24-7 search for the newest underground band. This is to say this place houses a kind of common language - books that if you run into nifty people on the street you can talk about - or strike up conversation with that bookish geek chic creature who has you all crushed up inside. You can theorize on the role of the imaginary child in "Whose Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" finally putting to good use your GRE vocabulary while gazing deep inside their eyes. Absurdist plays. Artsy graphic novels. Independent zines. New titles and classics. Beat poets. The selection is immaculately curated. Realize this is more of a specialty bookstore than one that tries to cover all the bases. The staff is amazing with suggestions and they're even open to suggestions themselves! Why not five stars? Well. The books can be a little pricey. Usually they're about half of MSRP, which means most run you $7.50. I know they need to stay in business and I know you pay for the genius of their contents. But it still hurts my skinny, skinny wallet. Please don't be an arse like I was. Visit. Support them. Get smart.

Kilgore Books is my favorite stop every time I visit Denver. The great prices and fantastic selection of hard to find, often out of print books is refreshing. Plus John, the owner, is always open to great conversation with anyone who wants to chat. I love supporting this small business even though I live far away. Always worth a visit, I highly recommend Kilgore Books.

Book stores are awesome! This one is no exception, which seems small but somehow seems to cram a hell of a lot of books into the tiny confines. Just when I was thinking they didn't have something.. guy behind the counter spends about 10 seconds to find it. The prices are okay. The books range in price, of course, but it will be more than half of a new price which is a lot better than most used bookstores I have been to. They do have a decent selection of zines as well. Guy behind the counter complimented my Marilyn Manson shirt and recognized it as "you don't see too many of those anymore!" so I think he was cool. We patronized the shit outta that place.. well, one book. Books are heavy when you're traveling.

To be the eyes and ears and conscience of the Creator of the Universe, you fool.

Amazing little shop! Every time I stop by, I find at least ONE book (sometimes many more). I've started to read a lot more since I've been shopping here. I'm not sure why it took me so long to find this little gem. The guy who's always there is courteous and always answers any questions. Check them out!

I do SO love this place. I brought in a big-ass trunk of books and they gave me some cash. Definitely not alot, but probably more than they could have. They've got some GREAT titles. Some really obscure stuff, too. I don't know what you're into (but I should... have we met? Let's talk!) but I can tell you that as far as metaphysics/magick/philsophy/Freemasonry they've got some PHENOMENAL titles for INSANE bargains. Yes, I'm a dork, and this is impressive to me. And yes, their selection is enough for me to love them. But on top of all that... FIRST EDITION OF 'THE ALCHEMIST' by Paulo Coehlo. HOLLA!!! The guys that work there are super cool. Bring them some beer and hang out for a bit chatting!!!

Awesome little book shop. Great selection of books in a quirky little shop. The owner is super friendly. We came for comic books but realized they didn't have much, mostly trades, I didn't see a stand or display with any new comic books. I'll still go when I need a book about aliens or I'm in the neighborhood. Nice place to just stop by and check out.

Great selection - lots of sci-fi and fantasy with a rich dose of literature. Found a superb copy of Disgrace by Cotezee. An excellent selection, great service. Could use a bathroom in the store but that is absolutely not their fault. Management should consider this...

I have a little bit of a problem: I'm a bibliophile. This ailment, one might say, leads me to spend obsessive amounts of time in bookstores, particularly those of the eclectic, used persuasion, and drop my hard earned dollars on things, I technically don't really need. I am always on the lookout for another place I can feed my addiction, and when I find one, I am drawn in like a moth to a flame. I stumbled upon Kilgore's while walking down 13th ave., and my heart started to palpitate with delight. Although small, this shop has one of these best selections of used books I have ever seen. After commenting on this very thing to the store's employee, he informed me that they really try to keep out the crap. Well, I'm glad someone does, because that means I have a book-induced orgasm when I browse the shelves. I find it necessary to restrain myself so I don't go overboard, because believe me, it's easy to do. I imagine heaven to be a little bit like Kilgore's. They make sure there is quality selection, and the prices are completely reasonable. If I could, I would move in.

Update: this store still kicks ass. Here's a new reason why. I stopped in to Kilgore last weekend to do some pre-Christmas browsing, and managed to find a couple books that would be perfect for a few difficult-to-shop-for people on my list. The stage was set for Santa sweep, and when I brought my finds up to the counter, I got caught up in book talk with the kind dude behind the register. He swiped my card, handed me my treasures, and bid me good day. Transaction complete...almost. About three steps outside the door, I peeked in my bag and noticed I had accidentally taken up one of my 'like it' selections in place of my 'gotta have it' purchases, and realized my mistake. Embarrassed, I turned tail and went back into Kilgore to explain the mix-up. The clerk was a total class act about it, and when we figured out that the book I had INTENDED to buy was a buck-fifty more than the one I DID purchase, I half-heartedly offered to buy it in addition to my previous purchase. Nothin' doin' for this friendly shopkeep. "Don't worry about it, man...I recognize you. Just throw in an extra buck or two next time you're in." And so I shall, sir. I'll be back before the year is out. As stated in my previous review, Kilgore Books sets the bar high in terms of selection, organization, and presentation. But by standards of real world service, you'd be hard-pressed to find a better store (of any kind) in our fair city. The dude that helped me could've easily (and understandably) made me return my purchases, charged me the extra $1.50 on a separate transaction, whatever...but he didn't. If you're a fan of the printed word and have somehow managed to evade this store so far, get off your ass and make tracks to 13th and Washington. You'll find a banquet of great used books and independent comics, topped off with the kind of customer service that would warm over Ebeneezer's heart. Just make sure you double check your purchase BEFORE you fork over your card. They'll appreciate that.

This is an awesome bookstore with a carefully curated selection of books in great condition. The owner is quite friendly and fun to chat with. One of the things I love most about Kilgore is the eclectic decor. It has a lot of history and character. I just love visiting this place.

Jean-Paul Sartre "Nausea" - 5 bucks Old hardbound copy of Hemingway - 5 bucks Arthur Rimbaud translated from the French - 3 bucks Signed copy of Chuck Palahniuk, Nick Zinner's "I Hope You Are All Happy Now", Andy Warhol's "A to B", his diary, Hunter S. Thompson, Voltaire, Anais Nin, feminist literature, numerology books, comics, rock 'n roll autobiographies, philosophy, poetry, pulp fiction, stacks, racks, rows, and shelves of what some of the best minds had to offer the world, it's all cheaply nesting at Kilgore. The clerks are friendly, knowledgeable, helpful, have incredible taste in music (softly playing overhead as you filter through A-Z of an amazing selection of literature, otherwise undisturbed), and genuinely have an affinity for what they are selling. I adore this place, and recommend it to anyone looking for a great local bookstore to help add to your library, expand your horizons and fend off boredom for the upcoming snow storms and blizzards. Great finds at great prices, you couldn't beat Kilgore.

The kids here know what they are doing. It's pretty small as far as bookstores are concerened, but some of the best ones always are. It reminded me of several Brooklyn nooks, where the books that don't make it on the shelf, become a brick on the tower that teeters against the shelf's side. Kilgore's got maybe a third of the amount of room Capitol Hill Books has, but they stock it with a much creamier stock. I've been into Kilgore a few times now and have never left buying less than three books. And those three books where whittled down from about seven. The prices are reasonable (what, half of the retail price) and the staff super helpful, which is kinda' odd. I mean, if I owned a used bookstore it'd probably be filled with a pretty pretentious staff (think High Fidelity, but with books). Kilgore avoids that trap, whether because this is CO, or they are really trying to do business, i don't know, but i can dig it. In addition to a well-stocked and tastefully chosen Fiction section, the philosophy and playwriting are primped-up pretty, too. And the graphic novel nerds will no doubt be appreciative of the comic selection. Big ups, Kilgore.

Don't judge this used bookstore by it's size, or you'll be missing out. Packed floor to rafters with quality copies of great titles, perusing the shelves is like looking through a photo album full of snapshots of all your friends. Their comics selection is relatively small but prominently displayed. They don't carry any of my favorite comics, but I'm trying not to hold that against them since my faves are pretty obscure. Behind the counter they have their more upscale copies of rare, first editions and even some signed copies. True to their namesake, they have several pristine copies of Kurt Vonnegut titles including most of my favorites - Slapstick, Jailbird and Cat's Cradle. The cute fella behind the counter really knew his stuff and was it was a pleasure to buy a book from them! I wouldn't come here looking for specific books (unless it was a Vonnegut) but would come just for the joy of finding a new friend. [Yes, books are my friends.]

I love comic books and I love getting comic books at used-book prices even better. This is my go-to place whenever I want a used graphic novel. The staff is always good for a recommendation and they have the best used selection in town, for sure. Plus they support the local graphic novel community. Kilgore is more than a local business, it's a community asset that deserves our support.

The nicest, nicest guys run this store. They will help you find anything you need. I stopped by at Christmastime last year with a list of sci-fi books for a package I was putting together for Mr. P. Co-owner Luke checked my list twice and helped me gather up all the available titles in the store. For such a small store, they have done an excellent job of cramming it full of new and used books, comics, and graphic novels. Everything is clearly labeled and well organized. Sometimes you might have to step around a box or try not to knock over a stack of books on the floor in order to see what's on the shelves, but that only adds to the charm of this cozy store. During my most recent visit, I noticed for the first time the section of first editions and autographed hardbacks. I saw some of my favorite books and authors represented there, as well as some very old first editions. You know, the kind of thing that would make a great gift. Hint, hint.

Small seemingly typical used book nook. Good/affordable selection of used sci-fi (Ray Bradbury, Orson Scott Card, Neil Gaiman). Found a hardcover versions of Bradbury's "Martian Chronicles" (win!). Also good selection of young readers (plenty of Harry Potter hardcovers) and small but decent selection of graphic novels. That's really all I looked through to be honest. (Nerd alert). Worth it if you're in the area and enjoy these types of bookstores!

My husband knows I'd rather have the 450.00 dollar copy of the magazine wherein J.D. Salinger's first story was published than any kind of fat diamond. Even if the fat diamond was crapped out by some kind of talking holy golden naga. I haven't been inside of a store like this since I was 17, and then I wasn't trolling for comics as hard as I was trolling for the attention of the store owner. That place and time is long since bankrupt, and now finding myself several years older, I realize I miss the books and the good comics more than the TV eye. I've been looking a long time, and been bored by most of what I've seen. Kilgore has the books I need. If that's true for me, it's probably true for you too.

Cozy is what I would call Kilgore. A closet of a store stacked high with books. Well organized, nice staff and limited selection. Seemed to feature some more independent comics - if that is your thing. It was a fun stop on our Cap Hill walk and might be one of those stores you find a treasure in now and then if you can hit them up a lot, but not us, not today. So it was just A-OK.

This is my favorite place in Denver. I walked in after suffering through the first Twilight book, dazed, and said, "Please. I need something that requires my brain." And they hooked me up with some Salman Rushdie without a second thought. For eight bucks. I consistently walk out of there with more books than dollars spent. The staff is awesome, the selection very well vetted, and the bargain cart full of keepers (Jhumpa Lahiri for fifty cents?!).

Another one on the list of Used Book Stores to check off! This one is teensy, and seems to have mostly Science Fiction books and Comic Books. Hey, a target audience, for sure! The books here certainly aren't "Collectible" status, mostly obviously used and read paperbacks. And that's fine, if that's what you're looking for. There was a good spattering of authors, too. I also saw a smallish section of Horror, and a bookshelf labeled "Young Adult" or something like that. The Hunger Games featured prominently, natch. It's not very well organized, or clean, with heaps of book haphazardly piled... wherever... but mostly on the floor. The obligatory hipster working the counter at least said hello and goodbye to us, but seemed friendlier to a couple of his "regulars" (Or possibly one regular and a friend.) So, if you're looking for a semi-recent title and not wanting to pay full price for the paperback, I'd say hit this place up.

Out of all the used bookstores that I've been to in Denver, Kilgore is definitely my favorite. The people there are always really nice and the selection is awesome. They have always had what I was looking for and their books have always been in good condition. It's a small space but there are so many books to look at you could spend quite some time in there. The books are also well priced. It's an amazing store.

After a recent move to Capitol Hill, I decided to check out the restaurants, bars, and of course, the book stores. This place is approximately 1 block from me, and that is both brilliant and dangerous (for my wallet of course). I walked in, just to take a look....and walked out with not 1, not 2, but 4 new books. On the brightside, I got 4 used books (in great condition) for the price of 2.5 new books at a regular book store. This place had amazing selection! Even though it's small, it's not cluttered. Everything is very well organized. The owner is very knowledgable about his selection, and from what I gathered, seems to have read every book in there..... Can't wait to go back!

This is a great local store that has lots of personality. I'd much rather get a book here than shop at B&N or Borders. Their prices are very good since the books are used, but still in good condition. The shelves are packed from floor to ceiling with books. There's very little space for anything else, but that's not a bad thing. You're practically guaranteed to find something (even if you weren't looking for it). The owners are friendly and genuine; you can really tell that this is more of a passion than a job. I only wish there was a comfy seat nearby for quick browsing.

Cozy and un-pretentious. Wonderful selection of books. The owner knew every title and author I asked for without blinking and was super helpful. I will definitely be back. Loved this place!

Very small used bookstore. I always start off with the scifi section and then head over to the children's section in used bookstores. The children's section here was extremely tiny and didn't really have much to look at. Being a full nerd I also glanced the comics section and all I saw was independents. I half expected to see a good sized used/old comics section and found nothing I recognized. I could see coming back here if I was in the area, but not sure if this would be the first place I'd go to.

Truthfully, my visit was a quick hit and run, but only because I didn't have the time to peruse the shelves like I'd have liked to. This is my favorite kind of bookstore and something of an anomaly these days. The opposite of an oversized, overpriced chain, Kilgore's is small and cramped, but very neat and orderly. Having managed a similar store once upon a time I enjoyed the memories it brought back glancing through the shelves. Flowing from one category to another and glancing through the displayed material, there were lots of interesting titles on the shelves and one quiet reader behind the counter. He glanced up as I left to say thanks for stopping in, which I'll be doing again when I have a bit more time to spend.

This place is tiny, even by book store standards. Its claustrophobic aisles are choked with piles of books, and with two other customers the store was crowded. There was the standard gamut of topic selections, with generous shelf space given to comic trade books and fantasy novels. Some sections seemed anemic. For example, there was a whole bookcase for science fiction, but precious few Asimov titles. I know we're not at Barnes & Noble, but I am surprised to not see a staple like the Foundation trilogy on the shelves. TL;DR: Kilgore isn't good or bad, it's just fine. There are better used book store options in the Denver area.

The novel section rips, the only reason I gave them a three is because it should just be called Kilgore Used Books. Their comic section is hella whack. I always walk in there and think to myself oh yeah, I forgot about his place, and walk out without any comics ... I know It's slightly immature to only read comics... but it's what I like, and I don't like their comic section. The guys who work their are awesome, very polite and immediatly ask to help you, if you like novels this is a good spot.

Great place. Feels homey. It smells like books. They have all that s great pulp fiction with the old time sensational hand drawn hot ladies. Easy to browse., but I feel like you don't have to be cool here, like capitol hill used to be too hipster for me. I think everyone just turned fortyish and now were all dorks.

A really great bookstore. There were 4 or 5 books I would have liked to snatch up if I didn't have to travel home by plane shortly.

I went here to sell some books. I visited their website first, and they ask people to come onto yelp to leave a review...so that's what I'm doing. The curly haired guy that helped me was pleasant and efficient. They say on their site that they are picky, and it is true. They bought about 15% of the books that I brought in. I think they gave me a pretty fair price for the ones they did buy, though. And I noticed a lot of the books that they didn't buy, they already had several copies of. Like, "A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius" --don't bring that in. When I am no longer in book selling mode, but in book buying mode--this is a place that I would check out because they have a pretty wide selection, and it seems dumb to pay full price for a new book when you can get the same words in good condition for a fraction of the price if you buy a used one.

You can spend hours going through graphic novels and learning about other rare works from authors you've heard of but never had the time to explore. The staff is kind and the selection is plentiful. Top it off with affordable prices and you've got one of my favorite weekend getaway spots in Denver. Kick. Ass.

I'm such a brat. After writing a review for another bookstore in Denver, I'm writing one for this one, too. As I said in a previous post, I'm a Portlander and after being in Powell's Books, a bit of a book snob (or, a "Bob"). I've lost all taste for conglomerate book chain stores, with their generic facelessness. But I really liked Kilgores, which literally seems like a buddy's bedroom with 10 bookshelves stacked around it. Great selection of alternative books, and I certainly chose the right spot to look for local rocker novels. I got lost in the Dr. Seuss section of the shelves, and lolligagged for about 10 minutes Seussing away (although I do now know what to do when I meet a Fox in Sox or a Pop that needs to be Hopped on).

I had not read the reviews or been to the Kilgore website before I came in. I was waiting for my delicious pizza at Benny's and decided that looking through some books would be a lot better then boredly waiting. I love that it is a non-corporate small used book store! The two gentlemen working there were pleasant and helpful; although I did believe they were trying to kill their only plant until they watered it in front of me. Good selection of books especially considering the size of the store. Lastly, those books are so damned cheap and in good condition!

For a small space, a great selection of used books and comics (and organized, to boot). Great location -- right next to Jelly Bean, so if you're waiting for brunch... or want to knock out two birds with one stone, you can head over the 13th Ave. Easy for us to find free street parking. The best kind of bookstore customer service--the kind that lets you browse at whim. Left with a $3.50 paperback copy of SWORSPOINT by Ellen Kushner, a classic in great condition. Saw a good mix of older classics (including a lot of signed first editions) as well as some more recent sets and books... worth a glance!

Pro's: Wonderful "old book" smell Quirky, seemingly interesting staff Tall, stately bookshelves create a cavernous feel Con's: Disorganized Sometimes a little TOO cavernous (no room to move around people) Staff doesn't seem to have a good grasp of what they have It's a place I've been trying to love. I've gotten a couple ok-priced books there (some John Irving novels for $4 each, not in very good condition), but I've never been able to find anything I was actually looking for. That's ok sometimes (browsing is great!), but sometimes it's nice to be able to find a specific title, or at least have a staff member around who knows if they have it.

A great little spot, complete with wee stepladder. I picked up two secondhand novels, a secondhand book of poetry, and some new comics. All were in good condition. My joy was sealed upon my discovery of David Mitchell's "Ghostwritten" (used, half-price at 7ish bucks). I couldn't even find a copy at Strand Books on my last visit! (Yeah, I know; 'tater, 'tot.) There are signed copies of books and comics in the case upfront, a solid collection of zines, and they even publish a Denver zine of shorts, comics, poems, recipes, interviews +++.

I cannot succinctly express my love for this bookstore. It is my favorite bookstore in the entire world. Probably because they have an amazing collection of books and comix. I also love that the guys who own it are often playing records that bought at Wax Trax (respect) and that they publish Noah Van Sciver's work. I have nothing negative to say about any of it. *
