antimormon books

Again, without seeing all the books in question, I can't address the issue 100%; however, I frequent many different Christian bookstores here in Mobile, both Mom & Pop operations and big chain stores.
I also frequent the sections of these stores that carry books on other religions. I have never seen any book that was anti-Mormon or even hateful toward the LDS church. I have seen, and own several books expounding on their beliefs and pointing out those that we believe are in opposition to Gods word. To call these anti-Mormon is reminiscent of Al and Jesse.
I've not been, but I suspect one could enter a predominately Catholic bookstore and find books on why they believe Baptists are wrong; that doesn't make the book anti Baptist members, only anti Baptist in general; and calling it that is even a bit of a stretch.

Actually, I am Catholic and I frequent Catholic bookshops a lot. We must be a very self-interested group of people (LOL!), because I have never, ever seen a book that so much as mentioned Baptists, or any other religion! There are boatloads of books on catechism, apologetics, Mary, the Saints, Holy Communion, the Pope, the rosary, baptism, scapulars, etc., IOW all the bells and whistles pertaining to our faith.

In our library in our parish, we additionally do have a small section containing books (it appeared after 9/11, when people’s curiosity about islam got piqued) such as “world religions for dummies” type books which give a brief overview of what other faiths believe, but I have never even opened one of them, so I have to admit that I have no idea what is presented in them. However, these books are not “Catholic” books, they are secular books that would readily be found (and I have seen them) in a Borders or Barnes and Noble in the Religion section, so if there is anything derogatory in them, it is probably against Catholics anyway!
