Named one of the top three best bookstores in Denver

The Taylor C. Kirkpatrick book-collecting prize has its first winner

June 1, 2021 By Dan Danbom

A Denver bibliophile and philanthropist, Taylor Kirkpatrick, started a prize for young (under 30) book collectors in Colorado, and it now has its first winner:  Sam Watson.  Sam collects Japanese literature in translation, and particularly literature by women.  In his entry, he said he gravitated toward literature by women because of “…their unique perspectives in a male-dominated society.”

In his entry, he wrote, “I want to challenge any preconceived notions I have as I continue to broaden my viewpoint as a reader.  I’m always heartened when coverage of these books in the West emphasizes the humanity and relatability of the works, rather than the differences or foreignness of their perspectives.  I wonder if we’ll move past marketing buzzwords like “quaint” or “quirky” for these female authors….”

Among other things, the Kirkpatrick prize comes with $1,000, which should give a boost to any collection.

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.
