Denver Book Collecting Classes

Interested in learning about book collecting? Denver book collecting classes are held at our store through our Printed Page College of Biblio Knowledge. They’re free!

Denver book-collecting classes at Printed Page Bookshop
Participants learn about book-collecting during one of Printed Page Bookshop’s book collecting classes in Denver.

We’ve distilled decades of learning about books and book collecting from other booksellers, collectors, books, magazines and classes and packaged all that knowledge into our information-filled course. Whether you’re a reader, collector or aspiring bookseller, you’ll find a lot of value in our classes.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

  • Book terminology
  • How to identify first editions and to understand the differences between states, issues and impressions
  • How to identify book club editions
  • How to use the variety of bibliographies and why they are indispensable for collectors
  • Resources collectors and booksellers use to understand the complexity of books
  • The physical characteristics of books and how to protect them
  • What goes into conservation and restoration
  • What you can and can’t do on your own
  • The economics of book collecting
  • Where to find books for your collection and how best to buy them, whether through dealers, auctions or online
  • How to build a collection
  • …plus answers to all of your book-related questions

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.
