The girl who helped me was super cool and informative. They have zines. The collection there is “inclusive.” And the stationary setup was okay. Liked the pens for sure! Very cool that they store luggage for travelers. Layout was a little difficult. The actual book section was very closed off.

Incredibly Inclusive space with so many great books and stationary. Great space if you're looking to support an local shop in Denver💛

Highlight of my Denver trip was a visit to this social activist bookstore/art gallery. Stationery, pens, letterpress prints and more to be discovered. In addition to the prints, some of the stationery products are made by the letterpress studio!

This bookstore is an absolute gem. It holds one of the most thoughtfully curated collections I've ever seen and provides access to so many powerful, and often underrepresented, voices and stories. If you want to find a special treasure of a read, this is the place to explore. Beyond that, I also worked with them on a large pre-order for a conference and they were so easy and lovely to work with. I'm a sucker for a good bookstore, but this one is truly special.

This is a must-stop for radical magical anticapitalist queer leftist freaks and everything in between 😘 I loved chatting with everyone, especially Jasmin- her joy and passion is remarkable! I left with a unique and special stack of books and I wish I could spend even more hours exploring all the zines and thoughtfully curated merchandise. If you want to support an indie shop and meet some really special humans, go here- a haven for artists, makers, learners. You belong here.
