I've purchased books here many times. Unfortunately I had a HORRIBLE experience there today. I…read moretried to buy some books for a homeless man. They wanted him to leave so I told him to go and he did. Then I picked out $350 worth of books and paid for them with my Bank of America card. I left the books there Bc the owner was too busy to call down the street for my ride. After I left she called the cops and decided my purchases must have been fraudulent. The cops called me and I explained my side of things. Apparently I'm no longer welcome there despite the fact I did nothing wrong. 1. I still want to buy the books (they refunded my account.) 2. I want to attend a book signing on the 8th. It's a good store with an amazing selection. Apparently the owner just desperately needs a refill for her can of act right. She CAN make things right by selling me the books. An apology would be nice as well but not required. I'm an only child who just buried both my parents so I understand people go through things that cause them to act in hurtful ways. As a potential shopper, consider yourself ed

My experience here was infuriating from start to finish. First, the staff completely refused to…read morehelp my son find a book. When we finally found it ourselves and went to the front desk, the employees deliberately ignored us while we were actively trying to check out. ​When I finally confronted the staff and asked if there was an issue with us shopping there, the manager, Angelica, was incredibly hostile. She snapped and claimed we were "not purchasing customers"--which was a blatant lie, considering we had already bought one book and were standing there trying to hand them money for a second one. ​To make matters worse, Angelica's terrible attitude was entirely fueled by petty retaliation. She became angry and refused to assist us simply because I declined their insultingly low offer for my trade-in books. Angelica is completely unsuited for a management role, and the staff's exclusionary, rude behavior is unacceptable. Take your business elsewhere to a store that actually values its customers.

You can find some truly vintage gems throughout. And if you like popular fiction, they have a huge wall of it. I do wish they would get in more of a philosophy section, but that's just me.

I have always loved that this shop is inside an old house, but it just brings all the vibes in the Fall months. Just FYI, as you can imagine, Aspen is pricey so don't be offended if you see a sign for a 5% upcharge on goods so they can keep this shop independent and running!
