    Great little book store. I strive to check if the book I'm looking for is here before going anywhere else. I highly recommend it.

    Lotta lotta stuff to look at. Some things are organized and some aren't, but there's a lot of junk…read morehere. The entire time I was there, the store owners were yelling at each other and the woman would not stop cursing the man the entire time she walked around the store fixing stuff. After a while, I ended up finding a book that I wanted to give my niece when the woman came by, fixed some random book on the shelf behind me and said, "Don't touch the books if you aren't going to put them back correctly." Excuse me? I didn't even touch that book. I immediately put the book I was going to buy back and walked out the store. Incredibly rude to each other and their customers. Many shelves are bending and I wouldn't be surprised if they broke and books came crashing down on someone's head. Stay away from here!

    The Utah Book & Magazine store is a trove of old treasures. There's a lot of history within it's…read moreshelves. The moment you enter, you're engulfed by the smell of old books - what would you expect! The store had a tremendous collection but it was hard to navigate or just browse. The store owner was very knowledgeable and is able to tell you where things are located, if you know what you're looking for (such as specific author and title). I didn't spend too much time in the store. I was just accompanying a friend who wanted to browse Downtown Salt Lake City. It's definitely a place to find unique trinkets/gift.
