Eborn Books is a bookstore (selling new, used, and rare books) and book publisher located on the Wasatch Front with its main store in Salt Lake City, Utah, United States. Description The company specializes primarily in the Latter-day Saint book market and sells a majority of its more than half-million books on a consignment plan. It also publishes non-fiction works within the Mormon literature genre. (The publishing division also has an association with Shady Hill Press, which specializes in fictional works within the same genre [including fantasy and science fiction].) The enterprise is named after its founder-owner Bret Eborn. Eborn Books' main store is located in the David Keith Building at 254 South Main Street in Downtown Salt Lake City (across from the Gallivan Center and in front of the Gallivan Plaza TRAX station). Four additional shops are located in the Newgate Mall in Ogden, the Layton Hills Mall in Layton, and the Provo Towne Centre in Provo, with an additional store (called the Nauvoo Trading Post) in Nauvoo, Illinois. In addition to its "brick and mortar" locations, the bookstore has substantial sales via the Internet and ships books worldwide.

By April 2002, Eborn Books opened a shop in Downtown Salt Lake City at 433 East 300 South, adding to its previous location in Roy. Within several months, Bret Eborn indicated that he planned to close the Roy location and open another one in the Valley Fair Mall in West Valley City. In 2016 another franchised store opened in Layton, Utah at the Layton Hills Mall, and in 2017 a franchise opened in South Town Center in Sandy, Utah. Also in 2017 Eborn Books purchased the Latter-Day Harvest Bookstore, from Living Scriptures, in Nauvoo, Illinois (which was renamed the Nauvoo Trading Post).
