Times change, but this is sad. I've never been there, but there is an equivalent bookstore in Denver called the Tattered Cover. It used to occupy a four story building and basement, had a tremendous selection of computer books, which took up the whole basement. Tattered Cover still survives, but in a smaller building now. Instead of a computer floor, its more of a computer self.

Yeah, I know I am living in a time where more information is available than ever before in history, but I still am sentimental about physical books.

They never break.

The Tattered Cover was a great bookstore. I could spend hours there. I miss bookstores terribly. I can’t adapt to digital books and don’t want to. I love real books, turning real pages too much. I order real books on Amazon now. But I miss looking for treasures at a book sale. It was a great pastime I’ve been robbed of!

That’s why I have spent the last 40 years creating my own library.
The information I have gathered there cannot be changed or deleted with a key stroke.
