Named one of the top three best bookstores in Denver

A way to remember a book collector

March 22, 2021 By Dan Danbom

Books are such a fundamental part of people.  We are what we read in many respects.  The books we leave behind are a kind of testament to who we were.

As a way to remember a book collector, and to honor his or her book collection, you might consider having us purchase the collection and then do a catalog of them.  The catalog would feature a biography of the collector as a way to put the books in some context.

One of our sellers recently produced a catalog for a family in Idaho Springs.  The father was a serious collector of horror and science-fiction, and he had accumulated an impressive library.  Instead of merely selling the books off piecemeal, our bookseller purchased the entire collection and cataloged selected volumes in a book catalog dedicated to the collector.  His family provided a photo and biography.  It was a nice way to memorialize the collector, and to celebrate his achievement in gathering such an interesting collection.

Please let us know if that’s something you might be interested in.

What a wonderful gem of a bookstore! I found some serious treasures and could have spent all day there. I didn't catch the curator's name but she was fabulous and friendly. I also hadn't been to a book co-op before; each seller's collection here was well organized and worth exploring. I have to extend thanks and praise to the gentleman with the H.P. Lovecraft paperbacks: I will definitely be reaching out for future shipments.

Every time I walk into this lovely hidden gem of a shop I am greeted warmly. The selection of fine editions and other hardbacks is extensive to say the very least. Without question, The Printed Page is the best place to buy books in Denver! They also have rare first editions and signed editions in the glass cases and there’s always something new and noteworthy. Plan an afternoon and go browse the shelves! You won’t regret it.

Some of the best service I have ever received! Knowledgeable about book collecting and willing to share that knowledge with me. Very helpful in locating volumes I am looking for. They alert me when they receive books I my be interested in, something I appreciate very much. Simply put, a joy to work with.
