The University of Akron Bookstore

Incompetent workers and mangers. Messy store. Overpriced! Go somewhere else!

The employees are wonderful and the service is quick (unless you show up when there's a thousand people, I mean what did you expect). Note: This is a Barne's and Noble book store and it will CONSTANTLY spam you with junk emails about products and offers however, it's a decent place to rent your textbooks (Not the only place, though).

Everything is hella expensive. I pay you guys $20,000 a semester already, why you gotta mark things up like that? I just spent $7 on two half gallons of skim milk! I should've just bought the freaking cow! I also shouldn't have to pay $6 for a guest parking pass. Those used to be free. At least make them free on weekends.

Lots better than when we graduated in '71!

AVOID THIS PLACE!! It's much more expensive than purchasing the eBook directly from the manufacturer, going through Amazon, etc. They sold me the wrong version of a taxation textbook, and the wrong statistics textbook for the Fall 2018 semester! You hand them a list of your class numbers, they go behind the counter and get the books for you...only they get you the wrong books. Couldn't return them since they were already opened out of the shrink wrap. The old ladies in management always have an attitude and are less than helpful. Be smart and don't buy your books from here.

Books have to be returned the day after finals, but the store is only open from 10-3, and that isn't even made apparent on the website. Book prices and fees are egregious. Staff is nice though.

Store Manager went out of her way to help me a Disabled Veteran get my voucher for my books from the VA. Her customer service far beyond what anyone could expect. Much appreciated
