“I absolutely loved the size of this store! It’s a book lovers dream! There is a huge variety in the selection, with a healthy smattering of old/vintage and newer books. A couple things to keep in mind, there isn’t really a consistent alphabetical system happening within each of the sections, so if you’re looking for a particular book, particularly with the older/vintage stuff, you might be looking for a while. Another thing to keep in mind, they definitely don’t have everything, which I can’t fault them for. Overall though, still a super fun experience, and I definitely plan to return!”
“Really lovely bookshop with a wide variety of reads. The staff was also super friendly, particularly in the kids and youth section. I loved that I was able to order a book online that they didn't have in shop and then just go pick it up.Honestly the only thing I don't love about the store is that it's wildly difficult to get around with any kind of mobility issues. There are a lot of tight turns and internal stairs, plus an incredibly uneven floor. Kind of a tragedy, yknow?”
“If you want a wonderful bookstore with new and used books run by someone who wholeheartedly loves books and is lovely person, then this is the store for you. I have been in multiple times now and every time there are people inside having lively conversations about books or recommendations from, who I assume is the owner since he is always there at the register. The vibe is great, and there is something for everyone.”
“Such a cool bookstore! We had no idea it existed, what the trolley mall… place… was before arriving, and loved how it just opened up the further we walked in.Granted some genre’s could use a few more shelves, but there’s certainly plenty there for everyone.We WILL be back many times over.”
“Super cute book store! I was looking for a birthday card made buy a local artist and that is exactly what I found! We will be back to shop for books next time. Must go if you have the chance!”
“I enjoyed shopping here. Loved browsing through the store and finding the books and gifts I wanted to take home. The staff and service were wonderful. Purchased some lovely books for friends and family.”
“I love this shop!!! Julie and Carrie are both very sweet!! I started coming in when I was visiting from idaho… now that I moved here, I have a feeling I’ll be in here every payday to buy something…great shop and great people!! ???”
“One of my favorite places! Lots of books, Tarot/Oracle cards, scented candles, teas and so much more for those of us seeking things to support a lifestyle more centered in nature and paganism.”
“Wish they had more options in store rather then have to order it on the website. But I'm just glad that there is still a book store to go to, I will always rather read an actual book then onenon a tablet or phone...”

1980 E 2700 S, Salt Lake City“one of the largest selections of calendars available. I go there just for that. The owner is very knowledgeable & friendly. Just up the street from where I live which makes it a great place to go to.”
“A wonderful little book shop. So much interesting stuff to look at, and I love the multi-level layout in their new location. I do wish they had a larger section for Fantasy and Sci-Fi books though, my inner nerd yearns for more!”
“This is my most favorite place to go! This place is so close to my heart, it's where I go for all of my recovery supplies and it has so much to offer. Every single person in the world should know about this store and shop here. They have EVERYTHING you need. All things to do with AA and other 12 step programs, books on codependency, divorce, co-parenting, eating disorders, and everything else under the sun you might be struggling with, and all sorts of cards that are so beautiful and unique, and coins to celebrate milestones, and beautiful decorations for your home unrest lift your spirits... I could go on and on. I love this store and I hope it never ever closes. ?”

“A Nostalgic Gem for Play + Learning!Tutoring Toy is a hidden gem for those seeking high-quality toys that blend nostalgia with play and learning. The caring owners are not only knowledgeable about age-appropriate toys but also well-versed in their advanced board game selection. Their fantastic gift wrapping adds a personal touch, making every visit feel like going to a favorite Auntie's place. A must-visit for unique and thoughtful gifts!”
“We visit Gardner village at least once a month to see their displays and have stopped by the Storybook Nook many times while there. The environment is very open and kid friendly. They have a play section for children that is fun, especially if you need a minute to look for gift ideas. :) My only complaint is that they have a lot of toys and I wish they would carry more books. We love supporting local book sellers and the owner always gives great recommendations about books, there just isn't as big of an inventory as some of their local competitors. This store is also better for kids 8 and younger as they mostly have picture books.”

“So I spend a lot of money at Barnes and nobles more than I probably should against my husband's wishes lol but I got to say I am a little disappointed with the romance section I like my books a little darker with lots of trigger warnings but every time I go there is always the same books nothing I feel like ever changes in that section can you please bring in some monster romance I understand you have the souls trilogy and the ice planet barbarians but what about the other stuff that everyone likes what about Tiffany Roberts and the dust Walker bride series.”

“This store has always had a very friendly staff. It's not as large as some of the ones in Utah, but it has everything for a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints here. At least, I've never had to go without, other than during Covid, which gets a pass from me.”
