    There is so much going on with The Blue Plate right now! I was fortunate to join Corinna Bellizzi, MBA on her podcast Care More Be Better (https://lnkd.in/gFAwx3Kn). It was such a great conversation, and I am grateful for her interest in the topic and her good work! On Tuesday, October 8 I'll be joining Lisa S. Gardiner in conversation about the book at the Tattered Cover Book Store at 6pm at their Denver Colfax location. Details can be found here: https://lnkd.in/g2J6KFwG. More to come soon!

  • It brings us such joy to announce that Derek Holland, a bookseller and store manager here at Tattered Cover for the last 34 years (!!!), has been named Managing Director of Tattered Cover Book Store!

We are THRILLED to continue to serve our vibrant, dedicated community of book lovers under Derek's exceptional leadership. We ARE Tattered Cover! _________________________ With this news, we do want to clarify that Brad Dempsey, CEO, and Jeremy Patlen, COO, have left the company. All of us here at TC are very grateful for the skill in which Brad and Jeremy directed us through the difficult bankruptcy and sale process. We owe them a debt of gratitude and wish them the very best in their new ventures.

  • All of us here at Tattered Cover are proud and excited to announce that our sale has been approved by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Colorado and we have completed our transaction with Barnes & Noble. Please note that we will continue to operate independently while maintaining the distinctive identity that has made Tattered Cover an iconic part of Colorado’s literary and cultural fabric. No stores are to close and all existing commitments, including the Friends of Tattered Cover benefits and Tattered Cover gift cards, will be honored. Our booksellers are working hard this week and next week to implement updated technology that will improve our book inventory and customer service at all four stores. Installing these upgrades will briefly affect store hours and service and there will be a period of interruption online to our website, TatteredCover.com. This week and next week’s temporary store closures are as follows: COLFAX: Closed Wednesday, July 31st, Thursday, August 1st, & closing at 2:00 PM on Monday, August 5th ASPEN GROVE: Closed Wednesday, July 31st, Thursday, August 1st, & Friday, August 2nd STANLEY MARKETPLACE: Closed Wednesday, July 31st, Thursday, August 1st, & closing at 2:00 PM on Thursday, August 8th UNION STATION: Closed Wednesday, July 31st, Thursday, August 1st, & closing at 2:00 PM on Thursday, August 8th We wholeheartedly thank each and every one of you for your continued patronage as we venture into this new chapter.

  • All of us here at Tattered Cover Book Store are so proud of our team for working hard to win the largest single book order in our staff's memory last month—a $277,000 order for more than 26,000 books for students at DSST Public Schools! Not only did our powerful team close this remarkable sale, they also received, hand-packed, AND delivered all 26,000 books! So thankful and appreciative to everyone involved! And of course, hats off to DSST's educators for their leadership in "keeping it local" and supporting Tattered Cover Bookstore. Our TC team is grateful for the opportunity to bid, to partner with one of Denver's key educational institutions, and to support local educators and students at 16 schools 🎉 📚

  • A bonnie 'farewell' to our noble Scotsman, Donald Rae 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Today is Donald's last day at TC and all of us here are saddened to see him go, but we're thrilled for his epic journey that lies ahead! Donald is the co-writer of "Welcome to the Fishbowl," a screenplay now in pre-production with a star-studded cast featuring Jeremy Swift from "Ted Lasso" and Natalie Gold from "Succession." He's leaving to be involved in the development and production of this exciting project and we wish him all the best. Donald's five-year tenure at Tattered Cover began in July 2019 in Shipping and Logistics. He quickly rose through the ranks, becoming our Webstore Manager in 2020 and Director of eCommerce and Outside Sales in 2022. Donald and his team have consistently demonstrated their dedication and innovation, spearheading initiatives such as the OpenBook Prison Book Drive, our wonderful partnership with @reachoutandreadcolorado, and the Signed First Edition Club. As Donald sets off to pursue his passion for storytelling, we thought we'd leave you with these few fun facts about Donald: 🎥 He's a former Adjunct Professor who taught screenwriting and story development at both the graduate and undergraduate levels. 🤓 He's a former Scottish barrister (AKA 'lawyer') 🎙 He was an on-air host for Vermont Public Radio We sure are going to miss you, Donald. Thank you for everything 💚

  • Looking for the perfect beach read this season? You're going to want to grab "Daydream" by Hannah Grace, the author of "Icebreaker" and "Wildfire" on August 27th, 2024! You can preorder this third book in the Maple Hills Series now at www.TatteredCover.com! Stephanie Woolley, our lovely Gift Buyer here at Tattered Cover, has written a charming review of this much-anticipated read—check it out! (also, let it be known that Stephanie herself requested that the outtake photo be included 😂) __________________ "If I am being completely honest when this ARC came in I just started jumping up and down! After loving both 'Icebreaker' and 'Wildfire' by Hannah Grace I have been waiting for Henry Turner's love story. Henry has the biggest heart and that shines through from the start of this book. He tries so hard for those who are around him and wants to do well in his personal life, school life, and for his team. You can just feel how much he cares throughout the book. I mean, how sweet is it to keep a box of things in his bathroom for overnight guests? Then we meet Halle. She is so sweet! I love that Halle recognizes how to help Henry with school right off the bat. She is dealing with the end of a long relationship. She deserves so much better than her ex and I am so glad that Henry is the one to make that happen. I love love and I love their meet cute! Hannah Grace has a way to make her books relatable and her books just flow. I couldn't put this book down! All three of her books have their own feel. If you enjoyed 'Icebreaker' and 'Wildfire,' 'Daydream' will not disappoint! 'Daydream' is a breath of fresh air and I'll be daydreaming about this book until the next."

  • Today, June 26th, marks 18 years on Colfax and we can't help but celebrate! 🥳💚 Our flagship location here on Colfax for the last (nearly) two decades continues to be a rewarding adventure—one Joyce bravely took us on back in 2006. As you can see from her letter we've included here, we made the best decision with the hand we were dealt back in 2006—Cherry Creek had been a wonderful home, but for many respectable reasons, we were encouraged to pivot and try something new. And...the rest, as they say, is history! We're so proud to call Colfax home for our beloved flagship location. We hope you will join us in celebrating these 18 years—cheers to many, many more! P.S. Did you know about the history of our Colfax location? Had you visited when it was the Bonfils Memorial/Lowenstein Theater?
