Moon’s Rare Books is a collection of rare and antique Bibles, early Mormon books and documents, LDS scripture, classic literature, and early American and European historical documents. We specialize in early Mormon books, carrying several copies of the First Edition Book of Mormon and First Edition Doctrine and Covenants, as well as other documents which have contributed to Mormon and Utah history.
In addition to rare books and documents you can also find: Original art from Utah artists, unique collectibles such as movie props or historical artifacts, and antique furniture which include many early pioneer Utah antiques. While we include items online, most of our collection is available in our brick and mortar location in Provo, UT. We encourage visitors to contact us with any questions they might have..
Most often collectors have their treasured items placed in an environment where only they can be a part of it. Reid Moon and Moon’s Rare Books invite you to come walk the streets of our beautiful English village whether online or in person. We hope to see you soon.
Have you been to one of our Show & Tells? sign up for our emails to receive updates on events we are holding at Moon’s Rare Books. From the email or online you are able to reserve seats to any event. For our Show & Tells you are invited back into Reid’s personal room where he will take out some incredible items that will truly amaze you. During these wonderful events we exhibit rare collections and individual items, providing information on their unique history, where they’ve been for the past 150-200 years, and how these historical artifacts ended up in Provo, Utah. These are all item’s that are a part of Reid’s personal collection that rarely go on public display. You will have to contact the store directly to make payment to reserve your seats. Because of high demand for this private session with Reid, the seats cannot be held with out payment. All proceeds from this Show & Tell event go to his humanitarian effort with Generations Humanitarian.
We love having so many come to see the bookstore in person. It is a museum like experience and our employees will be happy to point out some of our 100’s of unique items and tell you the stories behind them, so plan on taking a little time while here.. There is something of interest for just about everyone.
You can also schedule a private Show & Tell for your whole group to attend, up to 25 people by calling the bookstore at 801-623-0450 and discuss available dates. Gift cards for these events are a great idea and let you friends and family schedule the time most convenient for them.
We have 2 copies for sale. Please call or email to book an appointment to see the books.
