We have the most comprehensive children's book selection in the state of Utah as well as mysteries, new fiction, poetry, literary nonfiction, nature, and western writers. Located in a beautiful residential neighborhood of Salt Lake City, the store provides services to people anywhere in the world. If you are in town, drop by; there are chairs scattered throughout eight book-packed rooms.

Editorial Review for King's English Bookshop – by Michelle Merrill

The Scene
As the name implies, The King's English Bookshop caters to discriminating shoppers. Commoners seeking trashy romances should seek elsewhere. There's not a single heaving bosom to be found, unless of course it happens to be yours. And whose bosom wouldn't heave at the fine selection of literature?

The Goods
Fiction, poetry, biographies, mysteries, travel. And the store is kid-friendly, with an entire wing devoted to children's literature. English majors congregate here, as well as diners waiting for a table at Fresco Italian Cafe. There aren't a lot of discounts, but for discriminating shoppers, that shouldn't matter.

Editorial content is independent of paid advertisers. Any expenses are paid for by Citysearch.

1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

Please to the holly than thou, try to be open minded you really are not that special. I will let everyone I know who loves to read that you are not the place! From the Not Snobby and Don't plan on being!

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

This book store is the best in all of Utah. Unlike the large chains who hire employees who are satisfied with the lowest pay scale, breathe and take up space only just to collect their measly earnings, act put out when they have to take your money and probably can't read; the folks who make this shop so great are knowledgable & helpful. Great atmosphere, good location and wonderful selection of books, too.

Pros: Great selection. Wonderful employees!

Cons: There are no cons at this place!
