DID YOU KNOW...

That we have access to 2,000,000 titles?
We may be a small shop, but we have access to pretty much anything your heart could possibly desire! If you don't see exactly what you're looking for, please don't hesitate to ask us to order it for you!

That we love special orders?
We're happy to order any title for you with no additional charges for shipping and it only takes four business days to get into your hot, little hand!

(When you order from that place that rhymes with Schmamazon, you may get a buck or two off the publisher's price, but you lose that savings in shipping and it can take much longer to receive.)

That we can ship any title anywhere in the world?
That's right - even military bases - and gift-wrapping is thrown in at no extra charge (but only if you want it, of course)!

That we give 25% discounts on hardcovers?
If we carry a hardcover book that you want in paperback and it's available in paperback, ask us for a 25% discount on the hardcover!

Cheese!

Grand Opening Day at The Nook...

The ceremony begins...

Joking that it might take more than a couple snips to get through the organza...

And it did (take more than a couple snips, that is)...

Almost there...

Gary and I with Andre Pettigrew and Dennis Gallagher...

Andy Ard entertained our ears...

Jack beat Shelby down and stole her balloon hat....

And then the real fun began...

Thanks to Josh for taking for being our official photog (great job, man!) and to all our friends and family and members of the community who came out to help us celebrate our big day!

Special thanks to Andre Pettigrew for officiating our ribbon-cutting ceremony and to Dennis Gallagher for sharing some wonderful history about this fabulous little building on the corner of 43rd and Tennyson. Not pictured - but of equal importance - is Randle Loeb, a board member for The Colorado Coalition for the Homeless, who spoke poignantly on behalf of CCH.

A Book In Hand Community Outreach Program

Now that we've gotten our bearings a bit, we're ready to start working on some community outreach programs - specifically getting books into the hands of folks who might not otherwise have the means or access.

Feel free to drop off any gently used books you might have lying around your house and we'll make sure that they get to the right agencies, organizations, schools, and individuals.

The more that you read,
the more things you will know.
The more that you learn,
the more places you'll go.

-Dr. Seuss

Please contact us at (303) 433-3439 if you're interested in receiving books for your organization.
