Speaking on Business: Benchmark Books

This is Derek Miller, Speaking on Business. Since 1987, Benchmark Books has offered a wide selection of new, used, out-of-print and rare books, specializing in literature of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. With a variety of categories and affordable prices, there’s something for everyone. Owner, Chris Bench, joins us with more. 

Chris Bench: 

There’s something special about holding a piece of history in your hands. At Benchmark Books, we’ve spent nearly four decades helping people discover and connect with the past through books, documents and artifacts.

Our collection ranges from affordable used and out-of-print books to rare and historically significant materials, including items that offer a window into Utah and the West’s history. Among them are early editions of important works, including the 1830 first edition of the Book of Mormon, which continues to draw significant interest from collectors and historians.

But whether someone is searching for a hard-to-find title, building a collection or simply loves books, we enjoy helping people find something meaningful. These materials preserve stories, ideas and experiences that might otherwise be lost.

Next year, we’ll celebrate our 40th anniversary, and we’re proud to continue serving readers, collectors and historians for generations to come. 

We invite you to explore Benchmark Books and discover something meaningful.
