Lithic Bookstore & Gallery

"The nicest bookstore I’ve ever been to in my whole life! The owner is amazing and he is also a publisher who sells his own very nice publications"

"Such a haven for book lovers! Caleb & I had a cheery conversation and I look forward to the upcoming Slamming Bricks (Poetry Slam)event at the Avalon September 9th. As always, I came away knowing more about the offerings of this gem of a bookstore."

"Stopped in while visiting Fruita and had an awesome experience! Great selection that is carefully curated. Loved the section dedicated to mountain-west literature. Staff member we spoke to knew a ton about books and was very helpful. We went in just looking to browse but everybody in our group left with an unexpected gem. Don't be deterred by the fact that this place is a little hard to find (second floor in a shared space) it is well worth the visit for any book lover!"

"A beautiful bookstore committed to showcasing poetry. Their excellent collection is well-curated and surprisingly extensive. The book selection is well-represented in all areas - from fiction to science. Lithic is one of those rare bookstores that feels like a living presence. You walk in and can sense the Pulse of intellectual vitality and creative joy. They are well known for their many poetry readings and performance events. They also publish and design their own line of titles, reflecting some of the best poets and writers in the area. Lithic is a rare and beautiful place. Don't miss it."

"I LOVE this place! It's cozy and comfortable, but bigger than you think. They have a variety of new and used books, and some really cool art. They also have readings and events there in the evenings. And, in addition to being a bookstore and gallery, they are also a small press that publishes local, Colorado poets! Fruita is extraordinarily lucky to have a place like this. It's a hub of local culture! Owners are super nice, too!"
