PROFILE |
 |
The covers aren't actually worn and torn at Tattered Cover Book Store, an independent seller of new books in Denver -- that's up to the customers to do at home. Tattered Cover stocks some half a million titles in two locations: upscale Cherry Creek and historic lower downtown (LoDo) Denver. Each store encourages customers to linger by offering overstuffed chairs and reading lamps; it also runs a restaurant in its Cherry Creek location. Tattered Cover attracts customers with activities such as book groups and author readings and signings. Owner Joyce Meskis, a former library assistant, bought a Denver store in 1974; she has since expanded the original store several times, moved its location (with the help of customers), and added online sales.
