Have you ever visited this store?

Lovely historic building, the main location for Tattered Cover. |
If you're a Denver, CO local, you most likely have. The Tattered Cover's been around since 1971. It's huge, it's beautiful, in an historic building, has a great catalogue of books, and did I mention it's a Denver mainstay and lots of HUGE authors have signings (like that guy whose last name is uncannily similar to mine, minus the "l') there and it's a big deal for them to agree to carry my book?
It is, and it is, and it is.

Look at this place! It's beautiful - a REAL bookstore! |
There's a process you go through to have your book carried there if you're self-published. Last week when we visited Denver, I marched right in, armed with a copy of my book and my media kit and a horrible cold that was rather off-putting. But I just got word today that either the book is that good or my red, flaky nose wasn't TOO off-putting. Or both.
I'm so happy that folks in the Denver area will be able to sidle in to Tattered cover, take a look at my book, and bring home a copy.
A real bookstore. And not just any bookstore. Here's some specs:

Its one of the largest independent bookstores in the United States!!
And read more about them on this Tumblr page. Interesting stuff this:
