Book Table

Very little has changed here in decades, besides them stopping movie rentals. It’s the toys upstairs that bring me and the family back time and again. But they have so much more. books, sheet music, musical instruments, children’s furniture, scrap booking, teaching supplies with LDS books up front.
The place is somewhat rundown, some areas of the store feel cluttered, other areas are oddly arranged, and the kid’s castle play area is filthy. Some renovations are in need. And it’s definitely understaffed for the square footage, finding help can be difficult. They tend to hang out by the cash registers, but most aren’t all that knowledgeable or helpful anyway.
Still, the Book Table is a Logan institution. It has survived the chain store barrage. I enjoy wasting time here, I find something new and cool every time.

Fascinating store. Somehow I’ve lived right by it for a year and am only now getting around to stopping in. First of all, this store was not what I expected. The wife and I popped in looking for teaching supplies, and they had a good selection of everything we needed at prices that seemed fair. What really wowed me though was everything else– this place is a full blown toy store, bookstore, instrument shop and more. I didn’t see much in the way of staff if I had a question, though I imagine I could have found somebody. Mostly I was just in awe at this interesting and unique place. It was certainly a breath of fresh air to find a local shop that can compete with the internet giants.
Next time I’m in need of a book or a toy I’m going to walk on down to this place!
