Local Hang Out
A (mostly) Wordless Wednesday post.
Had some fun at my favorite bookstore today. The Printed Garden is such a fantastic place. I cannot say if Foot Solutions is also as great, but I’m betting no.
It is always good to spend an hour (or more) talking with store owner, Aaron Cance about books, or listening to good music (or both, always both). I feel quite fortunate to have a place like this in my community, a store run by someone who is passionate about books, someone who creates a welcoming environment for all sorts of ideas, gatherings, conversations. Local people, you need to check it out. For the rest of you saps, there is online shopping for you (or a visit to Salt Lake, if you wanna hang with me).
I’ve spend a good deal of money on signed books from the glass cases. 
There are lots of fun books for kids and teens as well.
Plus, you can take cool, artsy photos like this one (courtesy of the bookstore owner).
Admit it, you totally want to come hang out with me and buy books at this store.
That looks like a fantastic book store!
It really is! Right now it’s a quiet little gem that too few people know about, but I’m trying to change that.
You’re absolutely right; what a great bookstore! How do they get so many signed books?
The signed books have been discovered and acquired over the years. One of the tricks of the trade I’m hoping to learn.
There’s nothing better than an independent bookstore that really knows and caters to its community. Looks like a fabulous place.
It really is. I want this store to be successful and thrive, so I plug it everywhere and with everyone. Online sales are a huge part of that, so I figure the more who know, the more who might buy, yes?
It looks like an amazing book shop. Shame it’s half a world away for me, but if I ever visit america it will go in my itinerary!!!! Is there a link to the online shop somewhere?
Yes, there is. He sells through Abebooks.com and has a storefront here- https://www.abebooks.com/servlet/StoreFrontDisplay?cid=516397
I do! It looks like an amazing bookstore, and bookstore owners are the best!
It is an amazing store. In fact, I’m pondering another visit this week. Wanna come?
Yes I do! And, one day, it might actually happen, who knows? We’d love to come house and pet sit in Salt Lake City one nice spring, summer or fall. In the meantime, I’ll salivate virtually with you. 🙂 Is this the place where you help out once in a while as well?
I love bookstores and this one seems astonishing! Excellent post!
Thanks! It is an excellent store.
