Bookshop field note
The King's English Bookshop
Rooms to explore, books for kids and staff picks on every shelf.
Children’s booksStaff picksAn independent bookshop in an old house in a Salt Lake City neighbourhood, with rooms of books, a large children’s section, local authors on display, a wall of community events and a back patio used for author meet-and-greets. Narrow in places and reached by stairs in others, so wheelchairs and strollers will struggle; on a bus route, with street parking.

The quick read
Your kind of place?
Go if
you like a bookshop with rooms to get lost in, a children's section that will keep a child happy for an afternoon, and shelves that tell you what to read next; go with time in hand, because our reviewers' advice was to take it slowly.
Go elsewhere if
you need step-free access to every room, if you are pushing a stroller or a wheelchair, or if your idea of a bookshop afternoon includes a cafe table and a laptop.
The complete review, raw reviewer words and all twenty scores live there.
