The new location for The Ouray Books store is a gem. (6th St below Mouse's Chocolates) What a…read morefabulous find! The new owner Pat is not only super friendly but he and his staff are very well versed in helping with all things reading and books. I found a collectible Jane Austen book that is almost too pretty to read. Ouray Books has moved from the Beaumont to 6th Street under Mouse's Chocolate shop. It is THE perfect location as it is a cozy hidden gem and Pat has done an amazing job making it welcoming and cozy.. Make sure and stop by to get books to read for your vacation, some to take home or collectibles to enjoy. One thing that I loved is that you can contact Pat or his staff with any book you are looking for and they cab order it for you! Much more personalized service for all your reading needs. There were not only rare book finds but also many unique gifts. A bonus is to walk around the shop and read the poems on the wall. Pat the owner of the book shop is the Poet behind them! Priceless Bookshop in a Fairytale Town such as Ouray is.

We had SUCH a great experience at Ouray Bookstore! Now this may seems like an overly ecstatic…read moreresponse to a visit to a bookstore, and normally I would agree. But this place blew us away! First of all, we walked in and saw the most beautiful bookstore we have ever been in. It has all been recently redone and looks fabulous. There is a wide selection of books, from bestsellers to local authors to children's books to cookbooks to guide books. There is also a variety of cute little gifts, greeting cards, and stickers. So far so good, it was a beautiful store with a great selection of books and other goods. What took it over the top was that the owner offers coffee to drink while you browse the books and FRESH BAKED COOKIES his wife had brought in (they were delicious). The owner was extremely friendly and helpful if we had any questions about the books or Ouray in general. We had a great experience and would definitely recommend a visit to tourist and local alike!

Between The Covers indeed had both! Including a picture of the one I was most fascinated by. If I had more money to my name I would've wiped their collection of Where's Waldo books clean. Great selection (definitely look at the staff picks!) of books for all ages, beautiful Telluride merch you won't find in the town's gift shops, and other cool miscellaneous stuff like kids toys and educational materials. They had some playing cards with Spanish / Italian / Japanese translations that I thought were really cool. A must if you're in town!

This is a neat little shop. They have lots of gifts and books as well. The lady working (the owner…read moreI presume) was very polite and super helpful. We have been on the hunt for wildlife sightings and noticed the board with listed sightings on it.

Gifts range from kids books and toys to art supplies, jewelry, chimes, socks and many items suitable to leave as a hostess gift or to take back to that person watching the house or plants or critters.

We try to answer whatever questions folks have and if we don't have an answer, we find out and share. Try us. We special order items and drop ship to help our visitors and locals alike.
