“I was greeted with the door being open for me and a welcome.I also appreciated that they were able to direct me to the specific place in the store for the product that I was most likely to buy. Good store.”
“I absolutely love going to Deseret Book. Almost like an extension of the church building and temple in terms of happiness and sweetness of spirit.Everyone and everything uplifts and inspires and there is something for everyone from aged-wise to infant-young.The kind ladies that helped me were so helpful.”
“I love this Seagull Book! The store is big, they offer lots of items, and the prices are great! The new Sweet Salt section that they have added is wonderful too!”
“Having lived all over the country without access to this wonderful store has made me appreciate it more now that we’re close by! I love coming here because the spirit of peace is so strong. And of course, I appreciate being able to find books of faith and other topics that one can’t find anywhere else.”
“Esther waited on me and she is absolutely amazing. She gave me so much assistance. I will be back for sure it is seriously the cutest store I’ve been in a long time. I can’t wait to bring my husband back.”
“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.”
“The staff are awesome they make you like you a friend. I have autism and a tbi or traumatic brain injury for those of you who don’t know. Sometimes it’s hard for me to process things. So I’m slower at responding. They’re so patient it’s so nice I wish more people were like them. I love going here to get my church supplies. ❤️”
“These are the nicest employees I've encountered. Such a cute place and so much variety! I will come back, even though it's quite a drive from where I live.”
“The store was clean and the staff was friendly, but the specific book I was looking for wasn't there. It was a graphic novel that a marvel movie is going to be based on and I expected to find it. This company has scaled back their comic book selection for years and it finally caught me. I guess I need to visit local comic book shops to buy these kinds of items.”
“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.”
“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. ?”
“There's a great clearance section I like to check out each visit. Great discounted prices! Great selection of books, clothing, jewelry, small and large gifts, kids stuff, and CTR rings.”
“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.”
“Went to pick up a book as they opened on 7/4, they were short staffed and the kind employee helped me locate what I was trying to find even when she was the only employee working.”
“Everytime we come here, there is an older gentleman who is working, Tony. He is incredibly kind and fun to talk to. We even played a game with him and he taught us how to play it properly. This store also offers a lot of cool and nostalgic toys.
Appreciate coming here and this man. He's great!”
“The bookstore is amazing! There are used books in brand new condition and a lot of them! I found everything I wanted in addition to some gifts that they sell. There are some very nice gifts in there and I was pleased to get some amber on a necklace for my daughter. Everything is very reasonably priced, and the employees were very helpful.”
“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!! ???”
