What a find in downtown Greeley! A superb mix of books, vibe, customer service, layout, and…read morecreativity! Just celebrating their first year at this location, The Midnight Oil oozes a nice place to slow down and enjoy book shopping, one of my favorite vices. Pablo was the primary staffer on this day, and he could not have been a better host. Full of bookstore information, humor, guidance about Greeley, and a pleasant personality. There are all sorts of sitting and browsing options, and I love their back room of those interesting banned books that some have decided to make their focus. It is filled with humor and sarcasm. The decor is simple but terrific, and the best element of it is the hundreds of books surrounding girders located within the central area of the store, a brilliant decorative move that lures you into the store and is such a spot-on feature.

Look for the Roasty's sign on 8th and head a couple of doors north and you will find the coolest bookstore! It is well organized and very well stocked. Books are sorted by genre and they have everything from DIY to Scifi. When I was there a half a dozen patrons were browsing the shelves and conversing like friends. There are chairs and a booth to sit if you want to try out your next read before buying. Used Books were priced by color code at $3, $6, $9, with discount available if you purchased three books within the price point. In the back of the shop was a nice kid's section where books were all only $1. There was a cute area for kids to sit and read as well.

This one has old books, newer books, a large kids section, reference, cooking, every genre you could want. And it's walking distance from my house. I probably wouldn't sell books there anymore because it's not really worth it, like CENTS for a brand new book and you don't get more for store credit or at least they didn't offer when I was there last. Do recommend shopping here though.

A Ft. Collins Treasure…read more Tucked away in a strip mall in Fort Collins lies an unassuming sign that reads simply "BOOKS," an unremarkable moniker for The Eclectic Reader. I stumbled upon it while enjoying one of the first days of spring, and upon seeing the collection spilling out the front door, I had to take a closer look. Wall-to-wall books abounded, with familiar titles requiring a sideways or upside-down read. The formidable collection was a bit overwhelming, but as I've learned in life, too many books are never a bad thing. After just a couple of minutes, the mind settles and starts to loosely catalog the sea of texts. In some corners, there were "oohs," and elsewhere, "ahhs," but everywhere, knowledge - knowledge everywhere. Behind the desk sits Cynthia and her welcoming smile enticing you further into the collection. Ever-poised to provide service, she can often direct you toward your interest better than yourself. Beyond the friendly proprietor and investment in intellect, actual costs are almost always half that of the big-box stores. Heralded as an American institution, these bookstores are a waning, and we must do everything in our power to ensure their survival. Written records are dying, and every second, ten new digital formats are replacing them. I, too, am a champion for the cause of expanding resources to anyone and everyone who wants to explore literature online, but are we not responsible for preserving the hard copy? Simply put, I've never hugged a website, but I've pulled many a book tight to my chest, and a roller coaster of emotion carried me page to page - yes, I give them hugs. I've never handed off a website with an illegible word, blurred from a tear. And even as I write, my mind conjures images of my grandson "flipping" pages and identifying what was to be one of his first words: a ball. Let's not deny that the value of books is seldom monetary but always richly intrinsic. The cost of access and availability should never be a factor because the costs of doing without are beyond comprehension. But if you would like to make an honest effort at understanding, I would suggest checking out your local bookstore to find the answers.

The prices are wonderful! I got 4 books, one a hard cover, for less than $40. They have a mix of new and old and I believe you can trade your books in for store credit and buy others. Kind of like Plato's Closet. I'm not sure if it's a local thing, or a Colorado thing, but they don't have bags for your purchase. Bring your own or buy a reuseable tote. I didn't really have anyone help me, but I was greeted by two employees. The women who checked me out was very sweet. I didn't use or look for a bathroom. Street parking. I walked from my air B&B.

Inside of Peppy Coffee is clean, organized, and smells awesome. Who doesn't love the aroma of fresh brewed coffee? Because this place is so small, the car line can get long in the morning.
