One of those bookstores where you feel like you need to buy a book you don't need, just because it's so pleasant to walk in and browse books, stop for an espresso in the next-door cafe, and go back to browsing books on local interest, fiction, nonfiction, you name it.

Another beautiful Telluride store with a wonderful selection of books, cards and gifts adjoining a coffee shop
March 2023
Always look forward to a visit here when in Telluride. Never fail to find a good read. Great atmosphere.
Telluride's literary mecca, this beloved store is stacked with more than 10,000 books at any given time. The expertly curated regional books section is a fount of the Wild West's writing prowess, with illustrative tomes on the town's lurid backstory (you'll want to peruse Tomboy Bride: A Woman's Personal Account of Life in Mining Camps of the West). When your eyelids get heavy, head to the tiny coffee bar-squirreled away at the back of the shop-for a caffeine jolt to bolster an afternoon of reading.
