Amazon Books is reported to have chosen a location in Cherry Creek as the location of its new Denver store. The 5,000-square-foot space, on the first floor of Financial House (an office building currently under construction), will be ready to move into in April 2019. With one store “coming soon” in the Park Meadows Mall, this would be their second bookstore in the Denver area.Nebraska Book Holdings and Follett Higher Education Group announced a partnership. Nebraska Book Holdings will assume Follett’s independently managed store accounts through their wholesaling services division, while Follett will shift its focus from physical wholesale services to Follett Marketplace and Follett’s online book buying platform Valorebooks.com. In 2015, Follett had purchased Nebraska Book’s retail division, which comprised about 200 college bookstores.
