Another thing that caught my eye was that there was an upstairs that was open so you could see the good majority of it. When I walked upstairs to see what was there I was surprised to see that there were many sub-layers of the upstairs itself. The sections were various in topics but all extremely unique in decor. One area that had a lot of travel and adventure books had matching decor and a huge antique safe that was a beautiful dark blue color. It is so fun to wander all around the upstairs and see what is there. On the main floor, there are a couple of display cases that have all their pricey or valuable and collectible books. There were some books valued at over $3,000! It was interesting to see some classic books and their originals and how much the covers have changed. So both of those floors were beautiful and had their own fun things, but the basement was a whole different story.

First off, when you walk into the basement after a couple of flights of stairs, it is almost always pitch black. The first couple of times I went there I didn’t think there were any lights that I could turn on so I would just use my phone light, but there are a couple of light switches that you can use. Once you explore the basement for 10 minutes, you will never want to leave. They have old national geographics that date back to when they first opened, historical and fashion magazines from the 1970s and probably further back, and my personal favorite of old city maps and pipelines. It is so cool to see what Salt Lake City and Salt Lake County looked like before all the development and Utah University were put in. When you are in Salt Lake next, go take a look at Eborn books. You will be pleasantly surprised.
