Come out TONIGHT at 6 pm to pick up your copy, get it signed, and pepper Jim with questions about his alpine shenanigans! Remember, we’re not in the shop, we’re at the gym for this one 🧗‍♀️

Pre-orders are off now, so try to show up on time if you want a book from the stock we have for the event.

Jim Donini’s book signing is coming up on Tuesday, May 28! Want to assure (heh) your copy of Survival is Not Assured before its release? Some time before Wednesday night, May 22: Head to ouraybooks.com, place a preorder, and select Event Pickup. We’ll get your copy locked in so that we don’t run out of books on site.

If you don’t preorder, you can still purchase a book at the event; we simply might run out of available stock by the time you show up.

Hey friends! We're open again under Mouses Chocolates & Coffee!

We had a good bit of fun (and a perfectly reasonable amount of chaos) getting things transitioned over and started back up. Now, we're absolutely delighted to welcome you to the new Ouray bookstore. We're sporting a new space, a slightly different name, a new shop dog, a new owner (Hi! I'm Pat!), and a good selection of interesting new curios...but mostly you can expect familiar faces and the same world-class curation of books.

We're getting new inventory and slightly rearranging the shop quite literally every day. As such, it's not exactly a "soft open," but for a short time you might see the odd misplaced display or hear that a particular book you want is still at a distribution center in, say, Tallahassee. Our big shop signs are also some weeks away from being delivered and installed. Even our new website (ouraybooks.com) won't launch until early next week, for dreadfully boring reasons.

But listen: It's gonna be a dreary, cold weekend here in our perfect little corner of the Rocky Mountains, and the new bookshop is cozier than you can imagine. You need a new leather-bound journal, maybe a feel-good novel, and definitely a Mother's Day card.

Come see us and we'll get you on the right page.

Our final farewell. We have loved developing and owning Ouray Bookshop for the past 5+ years, but now it is time to retire and travel. We will still live in Ouray. We are passing the torch to the new owner, Pat Light. He is opening the shop in a new location very, very soon and will be taking over our social media accounts. Stay tuned and please support him!

Wonderful news! Ouray Bookshop will continue. Stay tuned for details in the coming weeks.

The sign being taken down; a very sad day. It is too bad the new owners of The Beaumont Hotel didn’t get to know Ouray more before making such a drastic decision. If they had, they would have found out how important this bookshop has been to the community.
