This is a small but well-stocked independent bookstore in downtown Monument. It has an especially…read moregood children's / midgrade / young adult section, including some classics and all the currently-popular series such as the Warrior Cats. There's also a large used book section. There are a reasonable number of new releases. Besides books, they carry a large selection of greeting cards, some art supplies, blank books (journals), notecards, puzzles, and miscellaneous gifts. You can also buy gift cards in any amount, and they will special-order a book for you if it's not in stock The store is well-organized by type of book, both in the new and used sections. It's also a beautiful store, with lots of natural light coming in through the south windows. A plus for this store is that they host lots of book signing for local authors. You can support both your local store and your local authors all in one place!

$2 Buck Books is one of my favorite book stores in the Springs! It's nestled next to the Target on…read moreAcademy and is the perfect stop before or after your errand run. I've found many books both that I was specifically looking for and ones I didn't know I needed. The prices are really unbeatable...especially when new books these days can be between $15-$30. I never buy new and am an avid thrift store shopper. But $2 Buck Books even boots Goodwill and Arc prices. Also, don't forget to stop by the back room for children's reads. The staff are very helpful if you're looking for a particular read. When I was there last, an employee (potentially owner or manager) took a walk in customer around the store to help them look for a title. I also happened to forget an item on the counter and called after I had gotten home. They said they had it on hold for me and were able to reunite my item to me upon returning to the store.

Sweet Mary Magdalene, the Leech Pit is the holy grail of everything you loved growing up!! It's a…read moredisservice to call this a vintage store - it's your sweet mom's warm embrace on a breezy, sunny spring afternoon at the park as a child - the park with the rusty merry-go-round and the steel slide you spent countless hours at with your best friends! Walking into the Leech Pit is like getting vertigo at a strobe filled dance club (oontz oontz oontz) - there's just so much goodness you just need to pause to catch your breath and take it all in. But you can't pause because your heart is pounding and you're giddy with excitement. The rare concert t-shirts, the racks and racks of clothes that serve as documentary of every phase you ever went through, the action toys you spent every afternoon with (and realize you now could be rich if you had kept them instead of letting mom donate them to the stupid kid down the road because you're too old for them now SMH), the records - oh sweet Jesus the records! - and even record players for your new collection! It's a one stop shop for your wildest dreams!! As if the shop wasn't Valhalla on earth on its own, I met the owner too (I think his name was Adam, but he looks like an Izzy). He was damn cool - I think he's probably my long-lost best friend from 6th grade that I used to get in trouble with. When he shows you around you realize he knows every item intimately, because he curated everything in the store. Everything in the Leech Pit feels like an expression of the owner and his commitment to taking you on a journey to excite your senses and comfort your soul. I like to think of him as the curator of your wildest dreams - he WILL make them come true!
