A New Book for Steve Weil of Rockmount
Find the book for purchase at Little Blue Pigeon Bookshop at 1413 Larimer Street.
Last week at Little Blue Pigeon Bookshop, Steve Weil of Rockmount Ranch Wear discussed his third book, Rockmount Legends: Celebrities in Classic American Fashion, published by Gibbs Smith Publishing, distributed by Simon & Schuster, and available for purchase at LoDo’s new independent bookstore.
Steve says that everything has a story, and this book captures many of the moments that have shaped Rockmount, a small, family-run company in LoDo whose reach has extended around the world over its 80 years. Rockmount Legends traces three generations of Weil storytelling, starting with Elvis Presley and growing into 200+ stories about icons of rock and ranch.
