In a time when female entrepreneurs were rare, she coupled extreme humility with a quiet assertiveness, a rare combination. What stands out most was her endless persistence in the pursuit of what mattered. Like all great entrepreneurs, Joyce had an insatiable curiosity and the capacity for careful observation. She was ambivalent about whether “Tattered” was the best name for selling glossy new books, but over more than four decades she transformed that humble store into what the New York Times ultimately called “the best bookstore in America.” In 1974, she purchased a small 950-square-foot struggling bookstore in Cherry Creek called The Tattered Cover. Joyce was a bookseller, but that label does not begin to do her justice. She was one of the great entrepreneurs in modern Denver, and her entrepreneurial instincts were matched by her ideals. She grew the Tattered Cover into an internationally recognized bookstore with multiple locations when she retired in 2017. Joyce Meskis, who made the Tattered Cover Book Store a national icon, passed away last December at the age of 80. Digital Replica Edition Home Page Close Menu

I found Redwall there, and Narnia, and Andrew Lang’s Fairy Books, and a hundred other places and heroes that stayed with me and shaped me, becoming as much a part of my world as some school friends I had for how real they were.Īnd if you went in through the main doors and turned left, past the check-out desk and the miniscule reference section that nobody ever used, there was a single floor-to-ceiling bookcase set cattycorner to the others that had that month’s featured books in it, and that was where I found The Riddle-Master of Hed. I’m sure it would be almost comically tiny now-formative memories always seem to shrink a bit with age-but back then, that library might as well have been four stories high for how many worlds as it introduced me to. When I was in fourth or fifth grade (about ten years old), I spent a lot of time in my elementary school’s library. Long-winded, goopy emotional thoughts under the cut. So my dear friend primal-hobbit is reading the Riddlemaster trilogy for the first time (the first time! Ever! Oh, it makes me giddy just thinking about it), so I decided to dig up my old post on the trilogy and McKillip. Patricia McKillip’s The Riddle-Master of Hed |
