I vist the Denver Book Mall once every few weeks, or whenever I’m on South Broadway and have some time to kill.  What makes the Denver Book Mall unique is that it’s not just a used bookstore, but a collection of local booksellers working on consignment in one location.

The friendly staff will always notice you and say hello, and if they’re not at the front desk the creaky wood floor will certainly alert them to your presence.  Books are categorized by retailer, but the staff can recommend a certain “store” to visit in order to find subjects and titles.   I usually never have anything specific in mind, but always walk away with something when browsing.  There’s a collection of old magazine and reference books in the small south room of the store.

They’re located at 32 South Broadway, on the east side just north of Ellsworth.  You can check out a list of current booksellers at their site   dim.com/~bkmall
