You just can't visit Boulder without visiting the Boulder Bookstore. It's the only game in town. Which is to say that it's one of the best independent bookstores still around that hasn't been squashed or marginalized by the huge corporate big boxes.
Boulder Bookstore has three and a half floors of books, a great kids' section, a used shelf, frequent author readings, and an adjacent cafe. The location at the West end of the Pearl Street Mall makes it inescapable.
Go there. Read.
