Tattered Cover Book Store on Colfax Avenue in Denver, Colo., hosted a panel discussion among (from left) publisher Karl Weber, U.S. Senator John Hickenlooper, retired Tattered Cover COO Matt Miller, and First Amendment attorney Steve Zansberg. The event, which was covered by C-SPAN Book TV, celebrated the publication of Why Books Still Matter (Rivertowns Books), a collection of essays about books, bookselling, and freedom of expression, assembled to honor the legacy of the late Joyce Meskis, the longtime Tattered Cover owner and defender of the rights to read, write, and publish.
