Every section feels thoughtfully curated into vintage, used, new, special editions. There is truly something for everyone. I instantly fell in love. The children's section was beyond adorable, and the vintage area pulled me in like it was that era. It's a big bookstore giving antique vibes.

Great selection and location! I came here to do a book signing, and I enjoyed my time.read more

Saw an ad on KSL Classifieds claiming "hundreds of comics are .50 cents" and "lots of Batman for…read more.50." Went in the same day the ad was posted. There were only 10 Batman comics total, with just two different issues priced at .50. Everything else was $4.95 and up. When I asked about the .50 comics, I was told, "Oh, we had a bunch for the holidays." Misleading ad. Won't be back.

Been here several times to purchase books and gifts. Found a really cute weekly calendar today that…read moredoubles as a mousepad and has space to write daily agenda plus weekly checklist and notes. Such a fun and practical gift! Each time we've been here it seems they're either understaffed or not enough stockers are cashier trained because it'll be just one cashier until an antsy line queues and then someone notices and comes up to help ring down the line. Good selection of books and games. The front by the cashier also has a fun collection of gift items that change seasonally. There's a cafe in the back but it's usually pretty full so we haven't gone there yet. The store is well organized but maintenance needs to come in to clean the escalator and repaint since it is pretty dirty in some spots which is normal over time but looks like whoever is in charge of regional upkeep maybe hasn't noticed on their visits that this store needs so deep cleaning in some high foot traffic areas. Overall a good albeit pricey place to find your next good read as well as a great place to find gifts for everyone. Cashiers are friendly. Keep up the good work!

Calvin and the whole crew are super friendly, caring, and--this is clutch for bookstore folks--great at helping readers find books they'll love. The curated collection in the main room is truly well-maintained and sourced, and they've got a ton of catalogued backroom-stock, too, so if you don't see something, be sure to ask for it! They've got a convenient ordering system and text me when my books are in. They buy used books for credit in the store in the form of a point system that is easy to understand. They have local authors and publishers (present company included!) in the store on a regular basis and especially on Sugarhouse Art Walk nights. The music is chill (instrumental math rock was on last time I was in the store, yay!), and the vibe is comfortable. Most importantly, I felt welcomed and like I could find a book for me in CBE. Check them out!

Very kind owner and beautiful store! Highly recommend to those in the Salt Lake City area.read more

I love visiting with Richard and I know others do too because there is always a steady stream of loyal customers when I'm there. I also love the bookclub shelf right at the front that has a great collection of reads. It's rare that I buy a book from any other section because it has so many great picks right as you walk in!

The owner was so kind and helpful! I much prefer the this local bookstore over a big chain!read more

GETTING HERE: I…read moresearched my navigation for the nearest Deseret Book and arrived here. Yelp has the address correct, and it's located in a little strip mall next to the Walking Comfort Store and across the lot from In-N-Out. REVIEW: I visited Utah and knew I needed to prioritize a visit to Deseret Book. The selection and setup are incredible! There's so much to choose from, including books, artwork, stickers, figurines, etc., etc. I could have spent hours here. Truly. The service was pretty good, and oh, how I wish I lived closer to one. Of course, there is the website to purchase items, but there's nothing quite like the experience of perusing a bookstore and enjoying the vibe. This was a great visit! I know that Utah has LDS Bookstores on every corner, HAHA, but this location is a great time, all around. Overall value isn't too bad, either. Cough, it's 2025, but nothing outrageous compared to the rest of the world's prices. Come give them a visit!

All types, and then others too, will likely love The Conjuring Tree. There are so many interesting trinkets, accessories, tools and gadgets that I enjoyed browsing. Many that were familiar to me, but some new items as well. The lovely staff member, Sage, was kind enough to give us a little run-down on the store, how long they've been around and some of the events that they hold. There are plans for a more formal tea gathering space in the back which will allow for even more amazing events. I love the vibe here and the friendliness that was extended. Even if I'm not sure what to do with all the cool things they sell, I'd feel very comfortable asking about the items and know that I'd be met with a welcoming, patient explanation.
