Lovely indie bookstore in Aspen. I stop by there whenever I am in Aspen Snowmass for ski trips or summer vacations. They were able to pull books for me to pick up and I even won a contest years ago where they sent me a box of novels. Very helpful staff. Love supporting this local treasure whenever I’m in town from Texas!

Such a nice place and the lady who serves us was very nice, kind and helpful. The location has 4 rooms, each room dedicated to special features, like kids book, travel and nature books, memoirs book and new books! There are spots where you can sit down and just read ! Totally recommending it for the book lovers out there, when passing throw Aspen.

Fantastic location for books. One of those lovely old buildings with floor to ceiling books. They have new books (not used) and a small selection of new vinyls as a bonus. Got several books and left wishing I were a local so I could come back and visit again

The staff was very knowledgeable and recommended a great book! And it was $10 -- cheaper than Amazon! Go here and keep local book stores alive! They also have great local events.

Owene was the coolest most helpful bookseller ever. Loved his recommendation for House of Leaves and he recommended a great Thai place too. If I’m back in aspen I’ll be back to the bookstore! Super great selection and beautiful layout.

Located in a beautiful old house, this 50-year old bookstore has a welcoming, knowledgable staff and a great selection of books. There is an attractive restaurant space space upstairs, currently closed: i hope to see it open and thriving on my next visit. (I suggest a japanese/med theme!)

This is a charming bookstore with the rooms having a theme. It's the kind of cozy shop you'd expect in Aspen. They have a wide diversity of books and other book shop items.

Stopped in on a visit to Aspen and am truly sad I don’t live here and can’t come back regularly. Excellent book selection and a great atmosphere!

What a wonderful experience! I was looking for a logic puzzle book (obscure) and found the perfect one. Their overall selection is amazing and the cozy seating areas draw you in to further enjoy this historic building.

Such a sweet place to visit, so many different options and quiet and peaceful too. Cashier was very nice and helped us get the books we wanted even through some tough payment options. Sweet dog also roams the shop and will sit with you or in a chair while your browsing.

Absolutely adorable. I thought there was going to be odd old vintage books, but they had a variety of older and newer books with every genre! Also a really cute kids section. Love this place, will definitely go back.

One of the last independent and literary oriented book sellers. Great atmosphere and knowledgeable staff make for a pleasant shopping experience.
Make sure to try the healthy food in the restaurant upstairs

What a great independent bookseller. They have created an indoor and outdoor atmosphere that is recharging and relaxing. Thank you!

I come to this bookstore as often as possible! So many books and a cozy aesthetic. They even sell tarot cards and more!

I was so thrilled to find this beautiful book store in a house off of Main Street in downtown Aspen. I walked in and felt immediately at home. Margaret the Lead Buyer of the store was so generous and offered to help me by carrying my newly published book Pilates for Skiers. Emma the Community Engagement Coordinator was also fabulous offering to have me come back and do a workshop. My visit was complete with a visit to the amazing restaurant upstairs called Pyramid Bistro where I ordered the Sweet Potato Gnocchi. Can't wait to come back and visit!

You should stop by this quaint little book shop if you like books or just need to find slightly more down-to-earth vibes in Aspen. Staff helped me find a book and it was a pleasure to just browse.

This is such a cute bookstore! Highly recommended. They have such a great layout, it reminds me of a hidden treasures used bookstore but they are all brand new & the employees are super sweet.

AMAZING bookstore- it's got tons of books about all kinds of subjects, and a beautiful pet rabbit called Terra that lights up the place. The whole bookstore is beautifully decorated, and it is covered in books from top to bottom. Definitely my favorite place in Aspen!

I love this store and, most importantly, the people who works there. They are so kind and understanding. They always recommend the perfect book and go out of their way to help you find what you need. Please continue to support local businesses like this one

If you love independent bookstores, you'll love Explore. The store is in an authentic Victorian house, which makes exploring the collection so delightful as you go from room to room. The cafe on the second floor is the icing on the cake!
