As many book lovers, especially those who live in the western United States, know, the Tattered Cover is an incredible independent book store in Denver–or now 3 stores, actually. I have gone there my entire life. I remember sitting on the floor reading Gnomes in its first tiny location in Cherry Creek, after taking ballet at the Red Shoes up the street. And my shelves groan under the weight of books I have either purchased there or that other people have purchased for me as gifts. When my family is in Denver for Christmas, the Tattered Cover is always the last stop on my father’s and my marathon Christmas Eve shopping trip. (Below is picture of Neilson, my father, and I last Christmas in the store.) For all these reasons, I am especially excited that I will speaking about Harriet Hosmer: A Cultural Biography on March 22 at 7:30 at the LoDo branch of the store.
