The Tattered Cover Book Store previously located in Cherry Creek has moved to the Historic Bonfils/Lowenstein Theater on Colfax Avenue at Elizabeth Street -- across from East High School. We have plenty of free parking and the same great selection, service, and literary events.

Great place

by Karina D. | insider_expert Insider Expert | Rank: 5,450

Anytime I need a place to grab a book or magazine to relax with, I can just head down to the Tattered Cover, grab a book, and slip into a comfy chair. The staff always has a friendly face and are always willing to help.

Still one of my favorite bookstores

by Michelle B.

I miss the Cherry Creek store--this one isn't in the same league. I enjoy the experience of coming to this store, however. The selection is just that much elevated beyond your regular book store, and the cafe is quite nice. I wish the foreign book selection was at all on par with what the old Cherry Creek store offered, but it's still better than most book stores like Borders or B&N. I always welcome an excuse to head out to this store.

best book store ever

by Anne F. | insider_guru Insider Guru | Rank: 1,904

I love this place. My book club meets here once in awhile. The ambiance is nice at the coffee bar... They do need more comfy chairs, though. The book selection is excellent.

Attention Book Lovers!!

by J. R. | insider Insider | Rank: 15,678

Tattered Cover in Highlands Ranch is the perfect neighborhood bookstore. While it is the same size as a Barnes & Noble or Borders, it offers a more quaint feeling inside, with the same, if not better, selection of books. They have a wonderful children's book section, filled with small couches and furniture that encourages the little ones to sit down and read. They have a great selection of baby, toddler, beginning reader and chapter books. They have an excellent teen book area, also. The staff are extremely helpful and eager to find any book you're looking for. If they do not have the book in stock, they will order the book, free of shipping cost, and have it delivered to the store within days. They also have a nice coffee shop with pastries.

The Best Bookstore

by Audrey P. | insider_expert Insider Expert | Rank: 4,538

Although not as big as the downtown Denver store, this bookstore has been a great addition to the Highlands Ranch area. The computers make it easy to search for books; the staff is quite knowledgeable.

Everything you need with knowledgeable staff

by Robin M. | insider_expert Insider Expert | Rank: 10,804

Im so glad to have this charming and thorough bookstore in my neighborhood (Highlands Ranch location). For the reader, it has stacks and stacks of books covering every subject under the sun. The staff is knowledgeable and generally able to make recommendations based on your tastes. I particularly like the large childrens book section. I have found every book I have wanted in the childrens section, without having to special order.

HR store is more family focused than CC store

by CT P. | insider Insider | Rank: 18,194

When you walk into the Tattered Cover, you'll notice that it's not as large as the downtown or CC store. However, it has what you need. Loads of publications... it is definitely the best place to pick up the New York Times on Sunday -- and also a huge kids section.
Author visitors often come to this branch also and it is such a pleasure not to have to fight the traffic on TREX!
You'll fall in love with the little cafe, which is open daily for lunch or snacks. Try the ginger sandwich cookies, they are divine with a hot cup of tea on a snowy day.

PROS: huge selection; kids and fun reading primarily; author visits; cafe in-stor
CONS: not a huge reference or hisorical lit section
