Kilgore Books

My favorite local used book store!! Conveniently organized and well curated, with a solid indie comic book/graphic novel selection (and zines!). The owner is very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. Very welcoming and cozy vibes. Also really great prices!!!! Definitely worth a visit.

Kilgore Books is small but contains a variety of books, many of which are gems. I would recommend going to this Denver used bookstore. Street parking is available.

This is a remarkable shop, as much an art gallery as a book store. Of course, the store's close association with cartoonist Noah Van Sciver helps. Regardless, this is clearly a special place. It presents visitors with a unique vision, intriguing and appealing. For a small bookstore, it packs a punch. There are strong selections of used science fiction, general fiction, mysteries, and drama and poetry. (The other sections seem just as good, but I don't know those topics or areas as well...) The collection of hardcovers and trade paperbacks devoted to comics is particularly notable, with many rare and hard-to-find volumes. There's a strong double-shelf of current independent and local comics, along with chapbooks, zines, and other odds and ends. Please note, however, there are no new mainstream comics here. No hold slots for Wednesday Warriors, not to even mention Marvel Zombies. Book collection, yes – the latest issue of X- Men, no. The premises may be snug, but the store offers many delights. There are Kilgore mugs and t-shirts and other paraphernalia, showing that the shop has an active cultural presence, or at least a presence with certain parts of our culture. The stretch of 13th Avenue, from Wax Trax to City O' City, is one of Denver's most Bohemian areas. In my opinion, Kilgore Books is best shop of them all.

This place was awesome. It’s a gem of a hole in the wall bookstore with a cozy vibe and honestly fire selection of books. Really had a super great time exploring here. It’s also right next to a record store so this whole corner is great to explore and shop.

Quaint book shop - each room feels like an add-on to hold their fabulous collection. I love the ma&pa shoppe feel! Especially a fan of the staff recommendation shelf where each book has a carefully written recommendation tucked in its cover. Great place, great staff!

The shop itself is great! A large selection of books from a variety of different authors. My wife and I left with a stack of 10+ books to add to your library. It’s in a cool spot that offers walkability to a number of different restaurants and things to do. The only drawback is the parking situation. The surrounding neighborhood streets are always packed, so you’re either going to drive around a while searching for a spot or end up paying for parking a few blocks down at a local lot. Obviously that’s not anything the shop has control over, but just a heads up for your next trip!

My favorite used book store in town. Always an amazing selection, fantastic recommendations and the owners Dani and John are amazing and so helpful. Take some time to come check it out and help support an amazing local business!
