The Bookworm

This might be my new favorite bookstore! What exceptional browsing here—never know what you’ll find. I found a travel guide and field guide for a great price. Love the buyback policy for when I’m finished. 📚 Cute cafe, too! Plenty of parking.

Great selection I could get lost in the shelves for hours on end or days even!

Walked in with no money looking to spot a book worth coming back for, was impressed by the atmosphere and selection of vintage books. Made slightly autistic small talk with the staff and they asked if I needed wood. I was confused but just so happened I did. Turns out they were swapping out some (60 year!) old bookshelves and wanted to see if someone could put the wood to use. Got several large planks of top notch hardwood for free. Prices are competitive too.

My favorite bookstore! Well maintained and curated used book selection. Very knowledgeable and friendly staff as well.

My favorite used bookstore of all time!! It's so cozy and magical inside, with well defined and labeled sections. It's best I think just to go to browse, but if you have a specific book you're looking for, the staff is REALLY knowledgeable and can often times track down what you want. HUGE, GREAT selection of kids books, too (picture, chapter, etc)!!!
ALWAYS somewhere I take friends and family when they're in from out of town. A real Boulder gem!

Amazing used book store. Impossible not to find something during every visit. They'll even take used books for store credit (depending on books). Highly recommend!!

So many books and they were in good shape! They also had a good selection of newer books that a lot of used stores don't have.

Hands down the best used bookstore I’ve ever visited. Great prices you get a good bit of in store credit when you bring your old used books.

First rate used books, with some new. Great staff and great place to chill and browse.

I always find a gem here and I can also sell the books I've read for store credit. Fantastic staff.

I absolutely love this place. Walking through feels like you're touring the halls of some ancient library loaded with gnostic treasures. The staff are exceptional, very kind and gracious, and their passion for literature is beyond evident. Highly recommend!

They celebrate 33 years in Boulder in 2017 and are one of the best used bookstores in the area. Staff is incredibly helpful and the shelves are filled with treasures. We always end up with one or two more books than intended when we stop in.

Love it!

I love this place. I've only been in there once...this is a true used book store... I haven't seen a real used book store in forever, brought back good childhood memories of exploring good used book stores since most bookstores are newer corporate stores with overpriced brand-new books which I abhor...just give me a good used paperback novel and I'll be happy!

As soon as I entered it felt like what someone dying of thirst in the desert feels after discovering a lushly green and beautiful glittering jewel of an oasis within a vast wasteland...it's been so long since I've actually seen a store like this!

Also, as a completely deaf man with tattoos, the lady behind the cashier was friendly and wasn't rude to me at all, as many hearing people usually are as soon as they look at me and realize I'm also deaf. Many treat me as if I'm a criminal just on sight. The lady was very nice and welcoming, this place absolutely warrants five stars from me. Good bookstores like this are hard to find and I definitely will be a returning customer, I was very happy to find a used copy of one of my favorite novels, James Clavell's Shogun. They also have a small selection of graphic novels, which I collect as an artist myself.

Again, five stars for this excellent store!

What bookstores used to be like- that experience of wandering down aisles, not knowing what gem you'll find. And such a selection of gems! We love this bookstore. Laura who works there always helps us find any books on our list

This shop is great! They have a very impressive selection as I was expecting the store to be as big as it was when I went in. The staff was very friendly and informative. I was disappointed looking for used books at some of the other book stores in the area and this shop made it all better! Came out with a beautiful haul and will def visit again the next time I'm in that area.

Great selection, well organized, and super knowledgeable staff! I start all my book shopping here and always find treasures!

Great little book store! The people are very nice and helpful!

Everyone working here was super friendly and helpful. I was able to find multiple books I wanted quickly with their help, and got them at a low price. The books are in great shape too. Highly recommend coming here

Great spot for books. If the Cafe looks closed, it isn't. Just ask for the lowest priced hot coco around and get settled with a good book. I just bought my son some Encyclopedia Brown books for story time!
