"Reid Moon is the owner of Moon’s Rare Books in Provo, Utah. Moon graduated from BYU in 1985. After 25 years of running Moon’s Rare Books in Dallas, Texas, he decided to return to Provo. His beautiful bookshop can be found in The Shops at Riverwoods in Provo. It’s really a museum disguised as a bookstore. About half of the items on display are for sale, consisting of rare books, first and early editions of the most well-known authors books. Reid has commissioned original art with giclee prints available of your favorite stories. The rest of the incredible antiquities and artifacts in the shop are part of a permanent museum collection available to be viewed throughout the Olde English Bookstore and by special reservations to Reid’s private back room for his most treasured items.
He specializes in four main categories: Classics and high points in literature, Early American and European history, items belonging to the great Kings and Queens of Europe, Bibles dating back to the 1400’s including a First Edition King James Bible dated 1611 and First Edition of the Book of Mormon and other pioneer historical books and documents sharing much of Utah’s early history.. He has some of the most incredible “Movie Props” that please and excite everyone that views them. His collections is beyond most people’s imaginations, and he truly is about “bringing history to life” as you tour through this magnificent shop. Even the brick cobblestone street you walk on throughout the store, are bricks from France that are 200 years old from the time of Marie Antoinette & Napoleon. For those unable to visit the bookstore personally you can get a glimpse of his most treasured finds through Instagram and Facebook, and hear their marvelous histories through the master storyteller himself on TikTok.
