Welcome to Noah's Ark Book Attic

We have a large selection of rare and antiquarian books. Whether you have a specific book in mind or are just browsing, we're sure you will enjoy looking through our ever growing collection.

We celebrated our 50th year of bookselling in 2004. During most of that time we've sold a great variety of books primarily through catalogues, specializing in Theology. For 44 years, the last seven of which we had an open shop, we were in Greenwood, South Carolina. In early 2003 we relocated to beautiful downtown Tryon, North Carolina. Visitors are welcome to browse Tuesday through Friday.

I always enjoy visitors who share my love for old books and I look forward to chatting with you.

Welcome to Vintage Books, an independent family owned bookstore and mail order business. We have been serving book-lovers and auto enthusiasts for over 30 years.

We’ve always put our priority where our hearts are: the best book selection we can offer and the most knowledgeable, dedicated staff.

Our staff are all passionate readers-- the diversity of our preferences can be seen on our “staff choices” shelves. We work hard to make your book buying experience easy, and treat your books with the care we would treat our own.

If you were to visit our physical store, you’d find us to be pretty low key. Plain pine bookcases, old rugs, old chairs and a small couch in the children’s area. Blank vertical surfaces are covered with old ads, sayings, booklists and displayed books.

We are unable to list our extensive selection of used paperbacks, some of the automotive items and hardbacks on-line, because our inventory changes daily.

We will be happy to check our shelves if you don’t see what you seek.

The Attic Bookstore sells used books of all genres. There are mysteries for those who wish to investigate human nature. There are science fiction novels for those interested in things beyond human nature. And there are horror books for those interested in the worst of both.

Inquisitive children will also find many books to explore.

The Attic Bookstore can be found at 200 West Hampden Avenue in Englewood, Colorado, just one block west of Broadway and across the avenue from where gold was discovered in 1858.

The spacious store contains more than 50,000 books. Most are priced at much less than half of the cover price. Coffee, drinks and snacks are available for those dying of thirst or hunger, and various gift items are also available.

The store's entire inventory is listed for sale online, for those who would prefer not to leave the house.

Those with an excess of books may come to trade. Most books will warrant a 2-for-1 exchange. Details can be found in the store, and on our Web site.

No description of the store would be complete without mention of Edgar and Agatha, the most literate felines in the West. They will guide you through the bookcases and frequently make recommendations.

The Attic Bookstore resides at 200 West Hampden Avenue, in historic downtown Englewood, Colorado. That's just a few miles south of downtown Denver.

When you first enter the store, we have a sitting area so you can rest from your journey. One customer liked this area so much she has yet to leave.

Our great-grandfather clock is not the most accurate piece, but it is always a good time for a new book.

Agatha keeps a careful watch on all the comings and goings at the Attic.

The children can find their books in our conveniently located castle.

Our store contains artifacts that we have collected from all over the world.

Our mummy resides in the Romance section.

This is the front of the bookstore showing the middle glass plate; there two plate glass windows surrounding it. The bookstore is part of a large building in which there are separate offices, organizations, and businesses. Originally a car dealership, it was remodeled somewhere around 1975, I would guess, to the current structure. Approximately fifteen various organizations or business share this building, each as a separate and distinct unit with a separate entrance; it is rather like a mall in some respects.

The bookstore has been in business since 1995, and houses about 7,500 volumes in 1,000 square feet. Hours are mostly by appointment and quite flexible. Specialties are technical texts, university press books, regional Oklahoma and Western Americana books, and art catalogues. Numerous limited editions, first editions, and signed editions are available for purchase. A dedicated effort is made to locate books which are interesting and informative, presenting something of cultural or historical value to the reader.

Bookstore Owners!! We need your photos and information!

2006-11-29T10:34:00.000-06:00

Hello and welcome to the Independent Bookstore Photo Gallery! Our goal for this space is to promote Independent Bookstores by showcasing the stores with photographs and a short description of the business.

This idea came about after reading the Bookstore Tourism blog, and realizing what a wonderful concept they have come up with. People love exploring bookstores and we believe that most would like to see photographs of the stores before planning their visit.

One thing we have always done when planning a vacation is to search the yellow pages, or something comparable, for bookstores around area we will be visiting. Taking that a step further would be to provide a description of the store, the type of stock they carry, and to also have interior and exterior photographs for viewing.

Our hope is that this little blog will grow into something much larger, that will be helpful for all bibliophiles, with a need to divide by region in the near future.

Thank you!
