Field notes
Why it belongs
Rare-book dealership and collection buyer arranged among museum-like literary manuscripts, antiques, art, historical objects, movie props and scheduled Show & Tell programs.
It remains a real bookselling business while surrounding sale inventory with a changing display environment more typical of a small literary museum.
Moon’s Rare Books buys and sells rare books, first editions, antique religious texts and larger collections from its Provo shop. Most books on the floor are offered for sale, while antiques, manuscripts, movie props, art and other artifacts throughout the space can be display-only; the record does not treat every object as inventory. Visit Utah describes the experience as a museum disguised as a bookstore. Scheduled public and private Show & Tell presentations are offered during the year, with public programs generally held monthly, but specific dates and objects change and should be confirmed with the business.
