I used to love Boulder Bookstore, but it is getting pretty frustrating to shop here. Between the loud customers and crowded conditions, it is hard to browse much of anything. Additionally, we've gone there (as our main destination, not just shopping Pearl Street) three times lately and have been denied entry every time because of an event. On the most recent visit, there were only half a dozen people at the event which blocked access to the entire upstairs! I had a $40 art book that I needed to purchase as well as three or four $12 novels, but could not even enter the room to get them. Meanwhile, it looked as though BBS had collected about $25 in ticket fees to their event. This probably does not bode well in the long term. Management did not seem interested in our feedback as longtime customers or empathise with our frustration, so we took our business elsewhere. So much for shopping locally.
