When you’re looking for something new to read, you have lots of choices. You can order a book online from that huge mega-website that we certainly won’t name here, or you can swing by that huge national chain bookstore, which we also will not name here.
But why oh why would you buy a book from one of those places when you can visit a bookshop where the folks inside not only love to read, but can offer you tons of great recommendations to help you find the perfect book for you? You need to head to The King’s English Bookshop. Take a look:
From the moment you see The King’s English Bookshop, you’ll be charmed with its quaint exterior. This little bungalow was transformed into a bookshop in 1977, and you’ll find it in Sugarhouse at 1511 S. 1500 E., Salt Lake City, UT 84105.
