Deseret Books

Deseret Books was founded in 1919 when two Utah book sellers, Deseret Sunday School Union Bookstore and Deseret News Bookstores, merged into one. The company is the world’s largest Mormon book publisher and operates a chain of bookstores across the Western half of the US. The company is a subsidiary of Deseret Management Corporation.

The company is a for profit corporation, publishing books, Mormon related works of fiction, and musical recordings.
