This is a fantastic little shop. It really does feel like magic! They have a HUGE selection... something (or many somethings) for everyone! I love their staff recommendations. I have found some really neat reads there! Also love the childrens section. Found some childrens books for my kids last time I was there! I also love that they do Harry Potter themed decor for his birthday! It is awesome.

Great little used book shop. Found a rare edition Shakespeare book for my thespian daughter. Good service, good products, and good prices.

Their website is so helpful to see if they have what I need before I go, and they have a surprising amount of relatively obscure books! Whenever I go, I leave with more books than I intended, and Im not even that big of a bibliophile. They literally have a section called old cool books. Such a wonderful little store!

This is my favorite book store in the entire world! I prefer to buy used books from here instead of new books from Barnes and Noble. The staff are very knowledgeable and are always willing to give a book recommendation or chat about a good book. The store is also so well designed and organized.I love that you can give your own used books in exchange for credit to use in the store.I will be coming here for all my book needs for many years to come!

Fun used book store with a ton of personality. Reminds me of all the hole in the wall used book shops I used to prowl 25 years ago. We dont come through Bountiful very often, but when we do, we make a point to stop.

We absolutely love this store and the employees! We come here all the time, and are always welcomed!

I really like this store, the books are SO cheap and theres so so many of all genres! I could spend all day in here, its such a cute little book shop.

This is a great book store. Very cozy and a place I can spend way too much time in. They have a very impressive selection of books in just about every genre you can think of. The inventory is also regularly changing which is a perk.However, I do have a couple drawbacks about the place.One, I have never been acknowledged by an employee while shopping here. I get that in a used book store there is not much they can really do for you but being a retail manager I know what an impact a simple acknowledgment can make to a customer. And I dont just mean when they are ready to checkout.Second, many of their books can be a bit overpriced. They do have some new books specifically in their best sellers section, which understandably will be priced higher but many of their used books are priced one to three dollars higher than their competitors which I find odd since they are such a high volume bookstore.

I went to the book garden for the first time today. I was so impressed with the selection of books and the prices. I bought 14 books for $97, there is no way you could get that kind of deal at a big box store. I’ll definitely be returning.

This is the most amazing place for book junkies. I found some treasures and your trade-ins get you credit.

Great place to trade in books and find new books to read and enjoy!

This is my favorite book store and its a bountiful treasure. I love finding good books here and they have a great trade in program. Plus, excellent customer service. On top of that you can have them put books you want onto a list and theyll contact you if they come in.

Lovely bookstore the people are really helpful and you can tell they love books as much as I do.

Cheap used books. Great place to take a date.

Great little book store. The Smell of books with a Variety to look through with Amazingly affordable prices. Most books are in Great condition and if you’re looking for that One book you can’t seem to find elsewhere, your chances of finding it here are high. Plus they have little seats in each aisle for a sit down quick read. You’ll find yourself in there looking for 1 book and walking out with 8. Definitely worth the stop. Massive thumbs up. Shall be returning on a regular basis. 👍

Great used book store. Love the selection and helpful staff. Have all their book cataloged, which is rare for a used bookstore this large. Worth a visit.

Used book lovers heaven. For a real book reader this is the most marvelous place to go.

Love this store! The smell of books and such a fun cute atmosphere

Very friendly staff. Always a great selection of books!!!! I drive over 30 minutes one way to visit the Book Garden 😎

Dont sell here unless you want to get scammed.They tell you theyll give you store credit at a set amount say $8.00 but when you go to use the store credit they say it only goes towards 75% of a purchase so you cant buy an $8.00 book without paying 25% cash or do straight trade for the value of you traded books..Totally bogus. Plus the used books are over priced. Definitely would not recommend

The people were nice directed me to the book I wanted and were friendly, they got great prices and great masks overall fantasticaly delightful and amazingly beautiful

I absolutely love it here. You will find gems for atrociously cheap and a fantastic smell in this charming bookstore.

Awesome book store! Tons of Dean Koontz books and that made me excited! Any book you really are looking for I’m sure you could find it here! I was a little disappointed there wasn’t a bigger selection of metaphysical books but other then that it is a great book store!

First off, after reading some of the bad reviews for The Book Garden, I will never understand people that leave bad reviews after one single incident that most likely was a misunderstanding or the customer is just a bitter person in general and is never happy with anything. Some of these bad reviews are so petty and ridiculous. The only very rare couple of times I have left a bad review somewhere was when I gave a particular place at least two or three chances, and they still persisted in their treatment of their customers. And that is rare. Have some empathy and patience, people!The Book Garden is honestly one of my favorite places. I am there almost every single week. I am a book hoarder, I fully admit! I am a bibliophile to my core. I have been to nearly every independent bookstore in Utah from Layton down to Sandy, scouring bookshelves and losing myself in a world outside my own. Out of every single bookstore I visit or have visited, The Book Garden is hands down, THE best. The store is clean, the books are cheap, and there is a ton to look at. I am always there at least an hour or two every time I go. Other bookstores in Utah are extremely overpriced for used books and the employees are nearly always stuck up and pretentious and do not even acknowledge you. The Book Garden employees are generally friendly and leave you to your browsing and are always willing to help you find something if you need it.Because I spend so much time there, I just wish they would convert the window area when you first walk in into a sitting area with a couple tables or sofas where you can read a bit of the books you are interested in before buying them. They have stools down every aisle which is awesome, but you cannot really read there for very long if there are other customers wanting to look down the aisle you are in. But that is so cosmetic and a selfish add-on that I would love hahaAnyways, do not listen to the bad reviews, people are just salty. The Book Garden is great!

Great second hand books in great quality. Theres always new books to take home. Great selection and a wide variety.

We love The Book Garden! More often than not, we will find the out of print classic or living book for far less than on eBay or Amazon. We like the online ordering as well as trading books for credit. Also, there is really no other store in Utah to compare to the feeling you get in the basement surrounded by books floor to ceiling and then climbing the back stair to find even more.

Its an old looking bookstore, friendly associates, and the books are pretty interesting!

There is nothing better than getting lost in the stacks! I could spend hours browsing.The Book Garden is Bountiful staple. They have friendly workers and great prices!

This is the BEST used bookstore! So many titles, well organized and priced just right!

I love this place! My younger brother and I love to come in and browse the shelves quite often because we always find new books and book series to read. Ive been able to find whole series of books for a fraction of what it would cost to buy new or even used other places. Even better is the fact that I can trade in books that Im no longer reading for credit on future purchases! The trade in value is higher than Id expect from a store like this and I always feel like I walk away with a great deal. It has become a goal in life to one day work here among all the books. After years of frequenting this place, the only complaint Ive ever had (other than too many books to choose from) is I cant fit my stroller through most of the store; Ive learned to remedy my own situation with a Baby Bjorn! Please never go out of business!

Helpful staff and endless book choices .... all I looked at were in good condition.

Great place! Absolutely love the atmosphere, if Im ever looking for a book then i always know where to go!

If they dont have it available they will order it, they will save a wait list for you they take old books, OMG!!! THEY PAY ME FOR MY OLD BOOKS!!I Trade books, I buy books, i sell books and they have the OLD book smell that is soooo good.

I spend way too much money here. Gorgeous books and it smells wonderful.

Such a wonderful little bookstore! The staff is so friendly and they have such a beautiful collection! Please get off of Amazon and support this store! Such a better cause and the community!

Super cute, fun book store that has great prices !

Fun unique store that has soooo many books !!

Cool place! Visited it for the first time in July 2020. Lots of classic and used books for very reasonable prices. I was drawn to the fantasy/sci-fi section and found some good ones. Had a good youth section and we bought the 3 books in the Mouse and the Motorcycle trilogy. Its located in an older, slightly rundown building in downtown Bountiful. It got a fun, vintage, one-of-a-kind small business feel to it.

Best bookstore ever!

We were able to several older books there that we unable to find at other book stores. Masking and social distancing required.

There are not very many used book stores to sell to near my home. The buying price isnt excellent (about 25 cents low end, $1 high end per book) but considering there arent a ton of options and its close by itll do.Recommendation to the store: Please do not start filing people books away before they have decided whether or not they want to accept your offer. Your store sent a text saying you all could offer $30. I brought in two very full boxes of books and when I got there I was only given one back. The girl at the front didnt know where the books being bought were. I saw a couple on the cart near the register, another lady had several in her hand on the way to a shelf, and who knows where the other 35 some odd book went. You guys got a ton of books without me confirming that I was ok with the offer. It was assumed I had accepted the offer. My books were already gone so there was nothing left for me to do at that point accept take the offer. Please do not do this to other customers.Edit to the owner: If it was possible to get my books back then the girl at the counter should have made an effort to do so when I asked where my books were. Her response was that she didnt know and she continued to write up my slip. Thats poor customer service. Im left with a sour taste in my mouth seeing that you are not making an effort to resolve the issue.

Cute little book shop

I love this business! For readers its a heavenly place to buy used books (some of which were never read!) and trade books in for store credit. Its a wonderful alternative to Amazon and Barnes and Noble. The prices are super competitive and it supports Bountiful! Please shop at the Book Garden! I never want to see it go!

I bought two books and a couple of other items. Lovely store!

This little bookshop is one of Utahs gems. I have spent several hours there by accident. I have literally filled a laundry basket full of books. If books are your passion, Book Garden is your shop.

Find all kinds of books reasonably priced with a great trade in policy

They have all sorts of second hand books that I love to read. Found a ton of my Dean Koontz collection there. Needed a book for my college class that the library didnt have, they just got it in and it was only $6.50!

A great local shop. A fantastic selection, great prices. All in all a wonderful local gem you should go see in bountiful, UT

Awesome quiet book store they almost always have what Im looking for and sometimes things I didnt know I wanted and caught my eye my grandma has been coming here for many many years and me and my family will continue to do so. ♥️

I love this place! I pick up picture books for $2 to $6 a piece.

Never met a book store I didnt like. Pleasant and efficient staff is always appreciated and these folks did not disappoint. ALWAYS easy to give a high mark when the requested titles are in inventory. I was offered a less expensive paperback version for a small wait, Ill miss no meals over the six dollar, hardcover! Thanks, Ill be back.

Super kind people working there! They didnt hesitate at all when I needed help even when it was close to closing time

This place is amazing. You can buy books, sell books or trade in books youve already read to get discounts when you buy new books. The staff is awesome and the owners are so nice. Considering how they obtain their stock how much stock they have is impressive. I love coming just to see what cool stuff they found since I was last there. 80% of my personal book collection I bought at Book Garden. Absolutely amazing.

Staff are very friendly and the bookshop is quite large for what it seems! There are always fun things to find there!

So many hidden treasures in this book shop. My wife had been searching for a particular book for years and never could find it. Barely poking out in the stacks downstairs she randomly spotted it. We have continued to come back over and over, always leaving with a pile of wonderful reads and rare finds.

Great you tell me when I have read a book

This place is a piece of heaven on earth! There are so many books, of all different genres. The staff is kind, finding what youre looking for is easy, and its affordable! love Love LOVE!

I bought four amazing books for just over $20! Staff us very helpful and they always have an interesting and varied assortment of books to choose from. Wheelchair accessible

Great place to find old books and cozy. Need to add coffee and tea room so you can sit and read

One of the best places around! I love the classy, homey feel that you get every time you walk in. Its much cheaper than any other bookstore and the employees are the nicest people ever. I love this place so much!

They have a good selection of well organized books for very reasonable prices. We went in looking for a book by a particular author and were able to find it in just a couple of minutes. I will definitely go back.

I was promised this was a great place to find books at a very reasonable price. I was impressed with the books, the prices, the personnel and the old building was a pure joy to wander through. If you appreciate all of this youll find The Book Garden a unique place to visit...often!

If you enjoy books then you will love this fun book store. Old and new books all prices. I have been going here for about 28 years. It used to the paperback exchange. They take paperback books and give you in store credit. They sell hard back books as well. All ages will like the book store. Highly recommend this to everyone!

More books than you could ever read!

Cozy little book store with super friendly staff.

Very friendly environment, helpful staff and the remodel looks great! Even better, they had a hard to find book that I was looking for only $5!

Such a fun little book store. I have found a hand-ful of used books in good shape that I have purchased from here. There just arent many book stores like this anymore and I really like being able to walk into a store that is just books wall-to-wall and floor-to-ceiling. They have a Cool Old Books section that is really fun to look through.

My husband always finds really well priced books here. And we take a bag full home a majority of the time we go. Tons of books lined up and down the walls on the main floor and basement.Buying children books here is a bit much though unless it is in a set. Sadly the set I am looking for I need to piece it together since I was able to get quite a few early on and am just missing books here and there. So buying it separately isnt worth it as it would cost $3 per chapter book, but buying in a set would again make it not worth it if I only need a select few of them. So adult and young adult books are so worth it. Children books, unless they are in a set typically are $3-$5 some are even significantly more.Still giving a 4 star review though in that my husband and I love to go, but unless they are doing a sale, children books are not worth it. So I find myself telling my daughter she can look at them while we are there but not buy any.

Fun little used book store. I love that there are still places like this. Good selection in all genres. Very friendly and helpful staff.

The new store front is really nice, and they have a great selection of books! The staff is really helpful too.

The staff was extremely helpful in finding the book that I was looking for. One of the books was in storage and it only took from Friday night to Monday afternoon for them to have it at the store for me. Great service!

The best place Ive ever been to for getting used books at a cheaper price. The staff are always friendly and willing to help. The store itself has such a lovely, warm feeling, from the moment you walk in the door.

The book garden is such a quant place! If youre looking to slow down from your fast-paced life, this is the spot for you! Shelves taller than you FULL of books! Small childrens isle.

If you have a half hour to wander around a shop, the Book Garden is a lovely place to do so. The stacks are full to bursting, but it isnt claustrophobic. The selection and layout are both very charming, and the staff is knowledgeable and ready to assist. I cant say Im overly fond of most of bountifuls main street shops, but Book Garden is the place I keep returning to.

I must say, I have never had a complaint towards The Book Garden. In fact, the only thing I ever complained about this book store is the fact that I do not live close to it enough to simply walk into the store whenever my heart desires to do such a thing; and my heart desires to walk into this store every day and every night. I enjoy the company of the employees. I support and love this store not only because of the books and the prices of the books, but also because of the kindness each and every worker shows unto me. I support The Book Garden and I will always show the utmost praise, in which they very much do deserve.

Great place for used books, it smells like a book lovers dream in there too.

A really neat place to go if you like books. they have both used and new and collectible.

Ive always loved The Book Garden and the kind and helpful staff working. This is just what you would want out of a cute, crowded bookstore filled with so many books you can barely take them all in. While the store is cramped there is an organized chaos to their categorys and genres of books, the staff was more than helpful to direct me to what I was looking for as well as wonderful when offering suggests for other great reads!

I have spent hours here. Love it. Great selection of books and great prices.

A great selection of used books. We found text by MLK Jr., very pleasantly surprised by broad range in selection.

Love their sell and how their place smells!

So many options and great prices. Everyone can find something here.

Great store! Lots of paperbacks but also newer hard back books too. Helpful staff and simply a great place to spend some time.

They manipulated my grandpa and told him he couldn’t shop there because he gave them a 2 star review. They told him he had to make his review better or he couldn’t come back so he increased it to 3 stars. THAT IS MESSED UP! Most of these reviews aren’t probably fake, these people are corrupt.

Love it here. I got 4 like new books for $8. Would have cost me closer to $50 anywhere else. They also have a good exchange program.

Knowledgeable staff, great selection & all around terrific book store

Wow! So many used books! A fun place to browse. Its more like Grandmas attic than a big chain. Sometimes you can find a specific title, but more often youll find one you didnt know you were looking for.

I absolutely love this place! The employees are super nice and helpful. All of the books are priced reasonably the building alone is super cool!

Best place for used books! My kids love to exchange their old books for new. The folks there are always friendly and are very knowledgeable.

Love their trade/credit program. Great selection of books, all genres.

Always a great experience. Its hard to find good book stores in this day and age! Lets make sure to always support local, and keep these guys going. Thanks for always taking good care of me.

Very friendly service and a good variety of books.

Good solid used book store. You can put an alert on their website or in person with them and they will call you when they get something in that you have been looking for.

Yes it can feel a little cramped. No, I dont think thats necessarily a bad thing. As a book lover theres something wonderful about being surrounded by lots of tall shelves that are overflowing with books. The store is much larger than it looks (as others have mentioned), and the selection is great.

I always go to The Book Garden if I’m looking for a new book. The staff is very helpful but i find it difficult to find what you are looking for without help or direction. The vibe is great there though and I never leave empty handed!

I love books, I love to read. Its always good to get books at a discounted price. They also have a web site do If you are looking for a particular book.you can check that out.

Got what I wanted. Good price. So nice not to have to drive into SLC to grab a book.

Went in here and picked out a couple books. I suddenly had to use the restroom. I went upstairs and asked for the bathroom key. Girl tells me they dont have a restroom.Isnt it right there? I ask.Its not open to the public. Oh. Well screw you then. Last time I was there it was open to the public. So I left without all the books I wanted.This place also only lets you use some of your store credit when you buy books.Hard pass. Go anywhere else.

So my daughter went at the wrong day. They were closing that early for a parade. And had to tell us every five min they were closing early so everyone can go to this parade. It got to be annoying. They had a huge selection of books. Didnt realize till it was too late that there is a huge selection of books in the basement. I wish we could have stayed longer. We will diffently be going back hopefully this time without a parade being in the way 😉

He bought quite a few of the books we brought and gave us a store credit
