I love Townie Books in CB. :)

Might be useful to keep the context of where it is mind. In a small mountain town like Crested Butte, having *any* bookstore presence is a fun surprise. I love that it's attached to a coffee shop. And, knowing that it's a small town shop tempers my expectations for selection. For me, a smaller selection means it's more curated, which I don't always mind. Gives ya sense of their taste.

Aside: I visited and enjoyed Book People in Austin, TX last weekend. Classic store with a lot of history. Bought a couple of books and an enamel pin.

Ok this is AMAZING! Quarterly will not be frequent enough for me, but I’ll be patent I guess. Proud to see Boulder Book Store ranks well ❤️.

Love this idea and will start following! one of my favorite things to do when planning a trip or traveling is to do a search to see what bookstores should be included on the itinerary.

If you ever make it to SW Michigan, I highly recommend Lowery’s – in three Rivers. I Have also heard big things about Kings in Detroit, but have not made it there yet.
