The best bookstore and one of the coolest spots in Salt Lake City. Their selection is impressive, including a large variety of classics, contemporaries, and oddities. Their selection of used poetry is incredibly impressive, and you can usually find the poet you are looking for. They also have a special selection devoted to Beat literature (Ginsberg, Kerouac, Burroughs, Snyder, etc.) Edward Abby has a huge presence in the store (as with most local bookshops in Utah), so you can find all of his books and memorabilia. The selection also includes a diverse variety of art and used postcards if you're looking for some fun decor for your home library.

The prices are second-to-none. For thirty dollars, you can usually walk out with four to six books that you have always meant to read.

Ken Sanders has a good relationship with local authors and poets, and many of them do readings at the store when they release new books.

If you are paying our city a visit or have lived here all your life, make sure you get over to Ken Sanders' whenever you can.
