First off, you can tell that the good review is by someone who works there. Just read it. Youll see what I mean. The price you end up paying isnt that much different from the bookstore on campus. (its a used off campus bookstore that pays next to nothing for books and then sales them back..it should be cheaper). I used their book rental program and ended up paying about as much as I would have if I paid for the book brand new. I would suggest shopping around somewhere else. I made the mistake of not doing my homework and ended up paying for it in the end. Dont make my mistake!

They are extremely honest and offer the best deals! They also now have an online site where students can go to pre-order books. If you find them elsewhere for cheaper, you can bring books back before drop/add ends. They are awesome!!! Much better than on campus bookstore!!! Also offer exciting deals that makes shopping there fun! They give away lottery tickets, candy, t-shirts, and all types of things! Do business with them! You wont be sorry!

Have been buying and renting books here for 3.5 years now. Great customer service. They dont always have the book needed or the very best price but overall have come out way ahead in expenses and service. Small shop with friendly people. Those who complain about customer service have never worked in a college bookstore during first couple days of classes.

Id rather buy from the campus bookstore, at least the price includes good customer service. I had a book that had been ordered since Monday, I called on a Sunday asking if it had been delivered yet and the lady on the phone was quite rude. After this book comes in itll be my last time renting or buying from here.

I still dont know why people shop at the uga bookstore. This place has the best prices, best employees (they find all of my books for me so Im not searching around) and even give away free water and candy. Love this place.

Staff lack honesty, professionalism, and basic communication skills. Neighboring bookstores and even the UGA bookstore were better experiences, be it the first week of school or not.

the employees were there to assist me the moment I walked through the door! I was able to purchase/rent all the books I needed for this summer at an incredibly low price

I love this place. I always get all my books here and they are always willing to help me navigate the place. I highly recommend renting or buying your books here!!!

When I went here, I bought several books that are on sale. For people like me who dont have much budget for books, this place is really a gift from above.

DO NOT rent or buy here. They rip you off and also have extremely rude management.
