Book Mine Claims to be the largest Colorado history and guides store. This is where the wealthiest mines in the country were, so it has plenty of mining and railroad books. 502 Harrison Avenue, Leadville, CO 719-486-2866
Winds of Change Books and Gifts This store had a majority of spiritual, self-help books and related gifts when I visited it; but it seems to have shifted its stock, and the owner tells me that now they are a "general interest store with specific offerings in personal growth and healing." 60 W. Main St., Beaver Plaza, Frisco, CO (near Breckenridge) 970-668-5399
MacDonald's Book Store is a general independent bookstore, and carries a large women's Western history section, and many books on Native American art and culture, plus stories about individual people who populated the West. They also have a good self-help section, including the newest books in health education. On Elkhorn, the main street in town, P O Box 900, Estes Park. 80517 970-586-3450
Please help support the small, independent book store. Most of the above stores participate in promotions by Book Sense, a company that promotes small independent book presses. They also offer books beyond what I describe above, but I have selected the area of interest to people who are familiar with Spring Time Writers' workshops (western material, women-related, and self-help)
If you're interested in small town Colorado life, stories of its pioneers, or life in the sandstone quarries of Colorado, or similar Geology (Front Range), check out the video documentaries of the Lyons area.
Prophets of Love and Peace:
Lazaris: He has touched thousands in his extraordinary workshops, and tens of thousands more with the books, video tapes and audio tapes that many have said are the finest tools of metaphysics and spirituality available.
Maitreya:when you experience the Self within and come to know you are an immortal entity, completely separate from mind, spirit and body, you learn to use these temples of the Lord creatively, with awareness.
Sanaya Roman (DaBen and Orin) To our readers: The books we publish are our contribution to an emerging world based on cooperation rather than on competition, on affirmation of the human spirit rather than on self-doubt, and on the certainty that all humanity is connected. Our goal is to touch as many lives as possible with a message of hope for a better world.
