Printed Page Bookshop

Named one of the top three best bookstores in Denver

Anything is anywhere

June 17, 2022 By Dan Danbom

 

I met another dead woman today. She was someone’s mother, and when she died, a cousin got her books, and when the cousin died, the books ended up with a guy who promptly dumped them in his basement. “They’re in here somewhere,” he said, when I came out to his house.

I don’t know much about the collector, but I do know collectors have different motivations. Some collect to learn, some because there are authors they love, some because a collection allows them to manage something in a world that is unmanageable. I think this woman was in the latter category because most of the books were unread.

It took a while to dig the books out, but I was rewarded. Among her books was an unread, signed copy of “Fahrenheit 451” — a story about people who treasure books for what’s in them, found in a library of a woman who treasured books simply because they are books, sold to me by a guy who thought they made his house look messy.

Printed Page Bookshop is a local, co-op store co-owned by John and Dan. This Denver, South Broadway bookstore has some ten dealers and a variety of used books, including some signed first editions. I’ve met John and some other vendors. These people love books ans love what they do. It’s a great place to go, browse, and shop.

Stumbled upon this shop walking down Broadway. Dan is wonderful, kind, and helpful. So many great books to browse through with the company of the shop dog, Izzy. Left with a friend children's book for my friend's son. Such a great experience spending time in here!

Printed Page is a well curated and beautifully maintained “pre-owned” book shop. Sections are clearly labeled and if you have questions the owners are happy to answer any questions. The day I stopped in one of the owners, Dan, happily chatted with me and helped me choose a book as a gift for my son from a specific genre. It is obvious these owners are passionate about books and and sharing their inventory with the public.
