Holy Cow!!! What a treasure this place is. Comfortable little corners to sit and read. So many books - new and used - that I thought I was in a real library! The people are helpful, friendly and gracious. The prices are fair and books are well organized! The serendipity of the experience is that from the outside it looks like a closed up tire shop then you open the door and it opens up like stepping in an old English book store from chronicles of Narnia! One should not give in Sat Lake for very long without experiencing this wonderfully appointed bookshop. and c"come on" - let's support local efforts. I will never buy from Amazon again without checking here first. It really is the best bookstore in town! Congratulations to whoever dreamed this dream and made it happen!

Cavernous and cozy local bookstore with THE cutest reading room. Huge variety of new and used books with a warehouse of additional books. Helpful and kind staff. Definitely a place you'll want to linger.

The staff are so friendly and helpful. Generally really fair prices as well. The place is massive and atmosphere is magical. It's used and new bookstore heaven!! Only two things I wish for are a coffee shop inside and slightly newer selection in the fantasy genre (but I think they are working on that. It's better every time I go).

Marissa's bookstore had a new copy of a book that I really wanted to buy my nephew for Christmas. No new copies on Amazon, Abes, etc. It arrived double wrapped in bubble envelopes--perfect condition. I am so pleased.

This is the best book store in SLC. I love the amount of old and new books they have there all nearly categorized. Their staff are immensely helpful as well, guiding one through the magical labyrinth. If you like to collect older books, they have many in stock as well. I found a wonderful book from the early 1900s during my last exploration. I'm super happy to see that they have a huge inventory of pagan books as well.

Ordered a book from here as a gift. Their book was half the price of the same book on Amazon. They shipped it out so fast to me, and I received it a day or two later. I’m so impressed and I will order from them again!

Absolutely the best place to go for a good book. Intelligent and humble staff, as well as charming and personable. Good prices and an excellent collection of vintage books to look through. They have a few comics as well as seats to spend a few minutes to browse through an interesting read. I highly recommend supporting this business and I will be going there from now on.

Really love visiting Marissa’s bookstore. A sweeping collection welcomes me, and the rearrangement of materials in the last few weeks has made the collection easier and even more fun to poke through. I also really like the various physical spaces in the shop. A few corners and crannies really make exploring the space feel more like a treasure hunt with private quarters than a typical bookstore. And typical this store is not. I love visiting Marissa’s Books!

Every time we go it seems like there's more to explore. Loved their arts and crafts section, and their Utah history section. Fiction is a little hard to navigate, and I can never seem to find where their Christian Romance section is, but that may just mean that I keep walking by it every time. ? Prices are good for older titles, more expensive for newer titles or fancy classics, but that's pretty normal. Plenty of parking, helpful store associates, a lovely environment with lots of antiques, vintage furniture, and pretty decor. Although they are in an old car repair shop, the overall vibe is that of a fancy private library. Very fun. ☺️

This place is amazing! It is enormous and had so many different interesting sections and spots comfy couches and chairs and beautiful nooks to curl up in. The room full of vintage books was like coming across a magical secret space where you could get lost for hours. I wanted to look at everything but just didn't have time. I love that they have a mix of new, used, and vintage books. I came home with some of each plus a few puzzles. This would be a great place to buy gifts. What an awesome store!
