West Side Books is an independent bookstore located in the historic Highlands neighborhood of northwest Denver since 1998. We carry new, used, rare and collectable books. Call us, drop by or send an email, and we can probably find what you’re looking for. Owner Lois Harvey brings 35 years of bookselling expertise to Denver.
We provide book searches & special orders, and, on occasion, host concerts, readings, and other literary events. Musical guests have included international celebrities like Ron Miles (above) and Hamster Theatre as well as exceptional regional talent. The intimate setting makes for an especially memorable experience, and there’s always an interesting mix of people. Events are generally free.
We’re easy to get to from downtown or anywhere in the area, and our directions page includes simple routes from downtown, I-70, or I-25. With a wide range of excellent restaurants, cafes and shops, this stretch of 32nd Ave is a great place to spend a leisurely afternoon. See you soon.
