Beck's Book Store

Cozy bookstore with Northwestern University gear. Good selection of high-quality clothing and swag, including a wall of mugs and water bottles.

Very friendly very helpful campus bookstore/University apparel shop

Friendly. Helpful. Lot of fun stuff and books

Excelente lugar

Nice Northwestern gear. They don't always have the books I need and textbook sell back prices are very low compared to how much the book cost.

huge selection of northwestern stuff; apparel is pricey though

Beck's is the best!

Great

I purchased a "new" workbook of Modern Chinese 1a. Unfortunately, two weeks later, I have just discovered that this workbook was not new at all even though it had been shrink wrapped. Somebody had written on the inside and done many of the later exercises. I plan to visit Beck's again to ask what happened and request a replacement, but this is ridiculous. This is very frustrating because my Chinese homework involves audio exercises and since the workbook online code has already been registered, I am unable to complete my Chinese homework.

Update: After contacting Beck's about the issue, they were willing to replace the workbook and also offered some store credit as compensation. This process was very quick and the employees helpful, but because late homework is not accepted for my Chinese class, my grade has still been negatively impacted by this incident. While there will be more assignments, exams, and opportunities to improve my grade, it is never pleasant to start the academic year with a 50% in a class.

Unfortunately, after attending class today, I learned that this appears to have also happened to one of my classmates. Whereas my new textbook was indeed new, neither her textbook nor workbook were.
