Saint Louis University Bookstore

Awesome customer service very informative of all the items that they carry. And always greet you with a smile

Great place to pick up SLU gear

I highly recommend this place to any book lovers.

Good service. Good SLU gear.

The clearance sales rock my world!

Nice place!

Great resource for SLU supplies! If you like goodies..... Stop in here for a treat. Parking is a little concerning if you aren't familiar with the area. After a quick call to the store, I was able to locate a space.

Pretty much like any college book store. The vast area of spiritwear is very cramped so you will bump in to other customers. Two floors at least spreads the merchandise out, so actual book buyers can find what they are looking for in relative peace. The students working here were not particularly personable, desiring to talk to each other durimg the sales transaction and dismissing us when the sale was through. The store is easy to locate.

I've ordered books from them a few times in recent years (only when they have a sale), and shipment has always been *very* prompt & the books have been packed very well.

While a student here, the staff could be a little short and rude, especially during the rush at the beginning of each semester. I was given a used book when I paid new, and am not a fan of them automatically upgrading to new if used is out of stock. I sometimes used the book store for sheer convenience, especially when I needed book ASAP. Otherwise, I recommend going elsewhere for much cheaper books - and you can still sell them back to them if you want.

Sometimes they rude and like to rush a lot. But otherwise the selection and price is decent.

They rip off students with misleading business practices! Very vague description of books you are ordering. Don't buy from here they rip you off. I thought I was paying for a book, but I got only an overpriced access code. I could have rented it from manufacturer for significantly less. SLU should be ashamed of how they conduct this business.

I have dealt with this bookstore for 2 years now (not by choice). If it’s an option for you, go somewhere else (such as Amazon). I have found new books on there as much as 100 dollars cheaper than the bookstores used for purchase. They are a straight rip off. I once purchased a dictionary for German, it’s missing an entire section. Should have seen the replacement they tried to give me. Today I spent 750 dollars on 5 books and a homework program. 3 of the books were used. They are all in very rough shape including damaged spines. (Normally I check, but they were packed and I was in a hurry) I wish I could say this is an isolated incident with them, but it’s not. My suggestions to the bookstore:

1) quit price gauging, it’s both obvious and ridiculous

2) work on your efficiency

3) do not accept damaged books for resale or base price of the book for resale on its condition

I am super frustrated because they are closed on Saturday and Sunday, yet they haven’t updated their google hours. AND when I called to make sure they are open, the message says to check the website for their hours. THE WEBSITE ALSO SAYS THEY ARE OPEN FROM 9-3 ON SATURDAY. It is really not that hard to update hours for the phone or website, and not waste people’s time driving there and parking. Whoever is in charge of managing this should really be replaced. The website is terrible as well which is why I wanted to go to the store in person.

Pretends to get lowest price for students, but straight up scams them. Automatically sets things to rent for a single semester even though many classes might use textbooks for the full year, almost doubling the price of the textbook. Will also buy new books for everyone, and then say that they tried to get them used.
