Visited from out of town and everyone on staff that I met today was extremely nice and genuine and helpful, and I couldn’t recommend them more. My favorite part of a bookstore is the kids section, and I really liked their curation of picture books. I also picked up a few vintage kids books.

I love this bookstore. There are interesting books new & old, topics to explore and unique gifts to buy. Staff is helpful. I buy and order my books to support this magical & local small business.

I can spend days in here and get lost in all of the books! The employees are very nice, and we’ve found some lovely books in the past few times we’ve been here. They have new and used books, and the selections are vast and unique. We’ll be back again!

West Side Books is a Labyrinth of an abundance of enjoyment for book lovers. There’s so much to see and enjoy. The book shop has used books, vintage books, new books, and first-edition books. Cruising around for forty minutes simply wasn’t enough time. This local bookstore is has many shelves of Colorado author books, LGBTQIA novels, ethnically diverse reads, all kinds of good stuff.

Everyone deserves to have a local independent bookstore that they’re obsessed with and this shop is mine. I love their used books section. I’ve picked up travel guides from there. Recently, I bought a book on mutual aid and received a beautiful free queer romance novel as part of their blind date with a book on Valentine’s Day. Talk about knowing how to make their customers feel special and cared for!
