We are finally in the throes of moving our bookshop to our new location at the Leonardo Museum, two blocks down the street.
Tens of thousands of books are on sale at our old location at 50% off.
This includes prints and posters, photos, paper ephemera and books.
It's an honor to host the traveling exhibition celebrating FINE BINDING & BOOK ARTS for the Rocky Mountain Chapter of the Guild of Book Workers!
The exhibition will be open at KSRB @ The Leonardo through the end of March. Drop by and vote for a peoples' choice winner!

Dear friends of Tom Russell and KSRB,
It's with a great deal of sadness and consternation that I announce the cancellation of our upcoming Tom Russell concert on September 21st.
It is very frustrating for all of us, especially Tom & Nadine.
Tom and Nadine have colds,

Me then: If I walk to @KenSandersBooks, I won't be tempted to buy so much, since I'll have to carry them home.
Me 2 hours later: [takes Uber home]

WE NEED YOUR HELP!
Here at KSRB, not a day goes by without our fearless leader bringing in books by the truckload. No one can stop him. Please come in and buy some of Ken's treasures before the bookstore is completely
submerged.
Thanks in advance,

He's David Letterman's favorite artist. Bernie Taupin said his last album was the best of the year. He's my Uncle Tom and he's coming to town! See you there... @kensandersbooks
The only way this is a win is if you know how many hungry young minds will be flooding bookstores like ours seeking these titles out! Your efforts to keep the populace illiterate and in the dark will ALWAYS FAIL. LITERATURE TO THE MASSES. READ BANNED BOOKS.
