An inheritance

May 17, 2019 By Dan Danbom

I get to know a lot of people after it's too late to meet them. Their books tell me who they were. Go into a stranger's house and look at their books, and you'll come as close as possible to reading their mind. The other day, I got to meet Warren through the books his widow brought me. She came with her daughter and … [Read more...]

She who hesitates

April 19, 2019 By Andrea Nelson

A sad occurrence yesterday at Printed Page Bookshop provides a cautionary tale for all of us. A young woman came in and showed me a photo of a vintage poetry book she'd seen in the store a few days earlier. "Do you still have this?" she asked me. Sadly, we had sold the book over the weekend. People, when you are in a … [Read more...]

The people stick with you

March 7, 2018 By Dan Danbom

I met another dead man today. This one was an accomplished attorney in a high-powered Denver law firm. He taught himself German, Chinese, French and Spanish. He decompressed from his high-stress work by painting military miniatures -- thousands of them. His wife would sit next to him while he painted the soldiers … [Read more...]

I happened upon this bookstore as I walked down Broadway one beautiful summer day. Discovering the Printed Page Bookshop was the best part of that day's journey. I now make it a point to visit as often as I can. The selection is vast and the owners are exceptionally kind, thoughtful and helpful. I always walk out with some sort of treasure.

Here are a few photos I have taken. I most sincerely cannot recommend this bookstore enough. Stop in the next time you are in the area. You will be glad you did.

Printed Page Bookshop is a rare gem. When you walk into the quaint shop you are greeted not only by the bountiful shelves, but the shop pup named Izzy. I was impressed by the amount of leather bound books that the shop had. I could tell the owner was well versed in book collecting and a true antiquarian when his collection didn’t stop at just one shelf or case. There were many shelves and glass cases that contained the most rare books. Some were even still in the shrink wrap. In addition to the rare books that were there, I was able to find books that are popular to the public now and also the cannon classics. Another fun feature of this shop is they have a newsletter. I was fortunate enough to snag a snippet of a past one and it has many treasures inside. There are stories and articles about anything and everything book related. I was able to learn things that I otherwise would never have known. Overall I was very satisfied with this shop and its variety of books. I am always looking for bookstore to call my own and I can confidently say I will be visiting this shop again.

There seem to be two kinds of used bookstores. There are the messy, crowded shops, overflowing with books and magazines of all shapes and sizes, often too many to count. And there are the neat-as-a-pin shops, with all the books organized and carefully placed and nearly uniform. The Printed Page is mostly a bookshop of the neat and orderly kind, but there are a few touches here and there of an opposite sensibility.

That perhaps should be expected, as the Printed Page is actually a joint operation between fifteen or so booksellers. It is a small shop, housed in a converted home, and the shelves are snug. It's quiet and cozy. There are books you'd expect (folio editions, military history, thrillers, poetry, mainstream hardcover fiction) but there are surprises, too, such as the odd Big Little Books under the front counter and the original art throughout the store.

Their motto is "Cool Books, Warm People." I was certainly given a pleasant welcome when I shopped there. I was actually determined not to spend a lot of money, and I didn't... but I did come away with a number of prized books that I had been after for some time.
