I placed an online order was very impressed with the customer service, email contact and fast shipping. I will definitely be shopping more at this book store.
One of my favorite book stores of all time. Phenomenal selection and Ken is a wonderful person with an extensive knowledge of Utah history. Fun atmosphere and very helpful staff. I 100% recommend this place for any book lover.
It can be a bit overwhelming. They have so many books to browse through. You will often find first edition versions of a book priced well over $100 right next to paperback version for $1.50. It's so big you can go lost in there. The staff are very friendly. I only wish it was a bit more organized.
Several months back I brought in 7 books to sell. During the conversation I had with Ken Sanders himself he relayed a few of my books were worth something. Two were serialized, autographed WWII books. Two others were copies with rare autographs of a fantasy author. While he proceeded with the payment I didn't think to ask him how much for each. Thinking he would be fair and honest.
Amazing collection of rare and antique books. Friendly, knowledgeable staff.
Before I continue let me caveat that Mr. Sanders is a professional is field. Highly respected and knowledgeable on the subject of books. Which is why I was surprised to recount the money in my car to find he gave me $35 for 7 books. Four of which he said from his own mouth were worth more than $100 each. When I went back inside he said no refunds or returns. We both got upset at each other and I left. The next day I called to explain the situation, thinking he may have been unduly distracted. Except the lady on the other end began to laugh and degrade me and accuse me of lying. DO NOT! I repeat DO NOT SELL BOOKS TO THIS ESTABLISHMENT. I even looked up the books my grandmother had me sell for her and sure enough one of the books I sold him wasn't available for less than $275 online. She was extremely disappointed as she needed the money for bills left over from my recent grandfather's passing. When she asked where the rest was I told her what happened. Needless to say it made my family very upset none of us have shopped there since.
