As 2019 comes to an end, readers are looking for stories and writing that can help them understand a fracturing world, experts from three Salt Lake City bookshops agree.
For its annual Holiday Books show, RadioWest gathered Betsy Burton, owner of The King’s English Bookshop; Catherine Weller, the new book buyer for Weller Book Works; and Ken Sanders, owner of Ken Sanders Rare Books, to discuss their favorites from the year and for gifting.
Host Doug Fabrizio began by asking what’s on the minds of their customers. Readers are “now looking in a different way at books — not just to escape into, but books that can patch their world together,” Burton said.
