Colfax Avenue: Journalist and author Michael Doyle will discuss and sign his new book Radical Chapters: Pacifist Bookseller Roy Kepler and the Paperback Revolution (Syracuse University Press). Long a hub for literary bohemians, countercultural musicians, and readers interested in a good browse, Kepler’s Books and Magazines is one of the most influential independent bookstores in American history. When owner Roy Kepler, a Denver native and University of Colorado graduate, opened the San Francisco Bay Area store in 1955, he popularized the once radical idea of selling affordable books in an intellectually bracing coffeehouse atmosphere. Paperback selling was not the only revolution Kepler supported, however. In Radical Chapters, Doyle sheds light on Kepler’s remarkable contributions to pacifism and social change. Doyle’s fascinating chronicle captures the man who inspired that community and offers a moving tribute to his legacy.Can’t make it to the signing?

Historic LoDo: Ann Komara will discuss and sign the new book Lawrence Halprin’s Skyline Park (Princeton Architectural Press), which showcases the acclaimed landscape designer’s urban renewal effort for downtown Denver in the 1970s. Drawing on the rugged beauty of the city’s natural surroundings for inspiration, Halprin created a signature landmark of sunken fountains, walls, and berms that served as an urban promenade and an oasis from the surrounding streets. This book honors the legacy of Halprin’s original work by presenting the most complete documentation available of the park’s conception, construction, and use before its total redesign in 2003. This first book on Halprin’s modern landscape project features new photography, archival drawings, and original documentation. This publication was funded in part by a grant award from the State Historical Fund, a program of History Colorado, the Colorado Historical Society. The work is also supported by The Cultural Landscape Foundation.Can’t make it to the signing? Request an autographed copy here: books@tatteredcover.com
