Employee Recommendations

The Generations of Sci-Fi and Fantasy Live On

As a young intern who has missed many years (even decades) of quality Sci-Fi and fantasy material, I took it upon myself to go around The Boulder Book Store asking the employees for their recommendations. In doing so, I got the chance to see the wonderfully knowledgeable and geeky side of our beloved Boulder Book Store employees as well as a whole selection of favorites and recommendations that I would have never found on my own.

Thank you Boulder Book Store!
