Yelp.com Review - by Ernie L.

5.0 of 5 stars. There's not much to add here that hasn't already been said, except: if you like pre-1965-or-so paperbacks, DO NOT MISS the dedicated section upstairs. If I'd had the time, I could have spent a couple...

Yelp.com Review - by Andrew Y.

4.0 of 5 stars. New & used book hunter paradise, a la Miles of Books in NYC or Powell's in Portland, albeit way smaller. Field notes: This is NOT a religion bookstore despite the name * Street parking is ample (&...

Yelp.com Review - by Albert H.

5.0 of 5 stars. Can't believe a place like this exists in SLC - even the philosophy section has a diverse selection of real books that real philosophy people would read. Most of these used bookstores just have crap,...

Yelp.com Review - by Megan B.

5.0 of 5 stars. When I hear the term "used bookstore, I envision an overwhelming mess. Thus, I was delighted to see how well organized Sam Weller's is. It reminds me of a new bookstore, but with much more...

4.0 of 5 stars. An excellent bookstore, Sam Weller's holds its own with the best of many much larger cities, including Chicago and San Francisco. Their enormous fiction section is guaranteed to have whatever you're...

Check it out

I love this store. SLC is so fortunate to have such a grand old bookstore. It's the perfect place to call in sick on a wintery day and spend hours browsing. I like to start in the basement and work my way up....

Horrible organizatio for fiction

This used to be one of my favorite bookstores, but they have now split up the fiction section so that part is in the basement and part is in the balcony (which is a one-way maze). This makes it next to...

Yelp.com Review - by Brad L.

4.0 of 5 stars. Attractively located inside Sam Weller's Books, this branch of Coffee Garden became a short-term part of my morning routine. (You didn't expect me to survive on free hotel coffee, did you?) They...

Yelp.com Review - by Tristan A.

5.0 of 5 stars. Legendary Utah bookstore that's been around since 1929. With so much change that has occurred downtown, and the despair I felt when downtown became a ghost town with the development of the 2 enclosed...

Best bookstore I've ever seen

It's a real shame the previous reviewer had such a bad experience. The brusque employee he dealt with (I'm sure I know who he is) is no longer there. I have found the employees to be of varying degrees of...

Yelp.com Review - by Brian W.

5.0 of 5 stars. Without question, this is the best bookstore in Salt Lake City. Books sell for 25 a pop--with great titles, like "Navigating Medicare," published in 1983. The store grabs your attention quick, with...
