Down in Denver Books mixes charm and an obsession with the Beat genre in small-town New York. There’s only one Down in Denver bookstore in the U.S. and it’s located in the world’s only Stephentown (or so says the sign on the way into town). But Stephentown is not in Denver, and this quirky bookstore, run by a Scottish transplant and her perma-pouty cat, Orson, is actually situated in rural, Berkshires-bordering New York state. On the outside it doesn’t even look like a bookstore. Yet step inside the 1848 violet-colored, wood-slat building and you’ll be charmed by bookish details like the signs made out of Scrabble tiles (one gives directions to the creaky second story), quote bowls to dip into and vintage typewriters with which you can type out your own message. |
