• An impressive variety of used books covering many genres and interests.

“Juniper Books is amazing and the tour was super informative and fun for book lovers and collectors. Highly recommend especially if you're visiting Denver and have time!”
“Lighthouse Boulder is great! From the moment you walk in the vibe is great, it smells wonderful, is very clean & cool as well as its energy being calming and inviting. They have a wide variety of texts from philosophy to instructional guides and everything in between! They have a great selections of cards, crystals, incense and souvenirs type items. The staff is so friendly, Allen is hilarious and helpful! If you find yourself walking Pearl street definitely stop in to Lighthouse! 🤍”
“Book Blast was an amazing event for our school! It was super easy to work with their team, organization was on point, and the students absolutely loved their books! Thank you for making this event so easy, special and memorable!”
“Little Horse Vintage is one of those rare places that keeps surprising you the longer you explore. The pricing is fair, the staff is incredibly friendly and honest, and there’s no pressure while you browse. What looks like a small shop from the outside quickly turns into room after room of amazing finds.
Whether you’re looking for books, vinyl records, vintage clothing, stereo equipment, collectibles, or unique treasures you didn’t even know you wanted, there’s something around every corner. I honestly don’t think it’s possible to see everything in a single visit. Every time you think you’ve reached the end, there’s another section waiting to be explored.
If you enjoy treasure hunting and discovering unexpected gems, plan on coming back more than once. This is the kind of place that rewards curiosity, and each visit feels like a new experience. Highly recommended for book lovers, record collectors, vintage enthusiasts, and anyone who appreciates a well-curated collection of unique items.”
“It's always one of my favorite places, no matter the state.
This location is big and has a lot of variety, especially if you love journals and kids' section.
They also have a large Cafe section.”
“Jack married me in Boulder, in 1990 at our home. Went to the church before the move to Folsom. The service is always moving! And my Son, enjoyed Sunday School. Moved back home to Cincinnati, but I can’t find any church like it. Miss it VERY much!”
“Good selection, clean store, nice staff. Easy to learn about things in person with friendly people. Lingerie very affordable and great styles. I was really impressed with the whole experience!”

“the campus and town is nice. I got mixed feelings about the people there. I didn’t like that CU did not touch much on Financial aid but they provided me with the general information like tuition dorm price and your student is automatically entered in to scholarships when they apply like most universities. It is a big campus. They only show you the main campus but they have a east campus that they dont show and they also have dorms within 25 minutes walking distance from the campus. if the student doesnt want to walk then they can take a free shuttle. The weather was beautiful. They have a beautiful gym!”

“I think their selection of sci-fi and horror books is one of the best I've seen. Not necessarily the quantity, but the quality. The outdoor area in the back is very relaxing on a nice day. I'll be back.”
“by far one of the coolest shops in the pearl street area. I found my way into this store because it had a hole in the wall vibe. i walked around and explored this little gem to see what i could find. There was so many trinkets, records, old books, comics, magzines. The collection inside this store is the most unique collections of items i've ever seen. I then began to speak with Tom, the owner, he explained hes been in this location for 35 years! and hes been collecting, and making the store grow, he sells books and items from his shop on amazon and ebay, on top of having the books in his store. Tom was explaining how hes read thousands of books over his time, and i began to ask some questions about his favorite books, he has many lol. Tom is by far one of the most knowledge men ive ever met, especially when it comes to knowledge on books, and history facts. This was such a cool shop to explore, and Tom was an awesome host / owner. anyone who has a fascination with old trinkits and books should check out this amazing little shop, and see what goodies or Tibet's of knowledge tom can behold. 10/10 would recommend anyone and everyone coming here”
“It was an absolute pleasure visiting this store and chatting with the owner and gentleman working at the counter today. This store was a breath of fresh air, and the quality of books was just incredible! I purchased 2 books from local authors that I'm very excited to delve into, as well as a Niwot shirt! A treat, being from Atlanta. This store is an absolute gem and I hope to be back soon!”
