No shame at all-everyone is welcome, there's something for everyone too whether you're mild or a little more spicey. I LOVE the color scheme and how well everything is displayed. Truly perfection.

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!

I have purchased all my books here since discovering this place. Owner Aaron is a fascinating person to converse with as he knows his titles and most others inside and out. Need a new sci-fi author to follow? Here are a few. Looking to dazzle a dinner with a new cookbook? He's got a million and can tell you which books really pull it off. NOTE: Aaron can order just about any book you want if it's not on the shelves already. Shop local and bring your business to The Printed Garden. Having a solid relationship with an independent bookseller is worth its weight in gold these days.

My friend was showing us around Trolley Square. She said after lunch that we needed to head to…read morethis book store. The way it's set up was really cool! We were on the second floor entrance. Honestly walking in, it looked like a normal book store until she walked me to the back. Walking through the gate door is where the view changes. I was in awwww! How cool is the set up of this place. I had no clue it was a 2 leveled book store. It was neat looking at the lower level. The shelves prettily speckled with color cause of all the books. I was able to look at all the old school historical books when we were walking in and out. How neat to have so much history on your shelves! We were in a time schedule so I wasn't able to really dig into them. I have seen some pretty neat places while I'm here in SLC for a bit. I'm happy I got to add this book store to that neat list. I'm hoping to make it back so I can check out the lower level.

Found a good art book. Felt like my college days. Totally beats shopping books online! The staff isn't very friendly; they are more like librarians with attitudes.

The second floor is the coolest. Definitely take a look through the window, or step inside if they're open. The bottom floor will have a bunch of used, fairly priced books of all genres. Found plenty of interesting titles within minutes. Clerk was helpful and friendly. She told me that since they've been short staffed, the middle floor rate books have been closed.

The workers there are the best I've seen in a book store. They are all very knowledgeable about the store, its literature, and history of the items they have in store. The first time I visited I chose a passage from one of their Bibles that you can have framed on the spot; I also met Mr. Moon! I cherish this Bible page, and have it mounted in my office. If you're looking to buy reprints of your favorite books or looking to read something new, they have them available at reasonable prices. If you're looking for something older, maybe even a first edition, they most likely have it too. I couldn't recommend this bookstore more, and I hope to return again in the future!
