University Book Exchange

I have been here once, and its because for whatever god forsaken reason the foreign language department forces us to buy the books here. I am all for saving money, that is why I scout amazon. This place is overcrowded and the workers are incredibly slow and rude. If I worked that slow at my job, I would be fired. I called just to ask about a price, and the lady goes well I can't help you were not open until Monday. I was like, you cannot tell me the price? Nope.... I would rather spend 10 bucks more and buy from the University Book store, or beter yet, the professors have to have the book lists in several weeks before the term; so I would rather have a list of books so I can purchase outside UCR. The lines are miserable, and the people generally unhelpful. I'll pay more for speed and precision. more

Affordable prices on Textbooks USED mostly and they buy books for a higher price than the school would offer. Small shop hiding near the dormatory. A lot of students go here to find what they're looking for. Workers are nice in general just don't trouble them. MUCH better than purchasing a new book from the campus bookstore. Not worth the costs. You won't get ripped off here. more

This place is a little cheaper than the UCR book store, but they are never open. If you go there at noon on a weekday they might be open, they might not, they don't seem to have regular hours. ANyway you can get cheaper deals online, so unless you need the book like tomorrow then just go online to order. For local places, I guess this is as good as you can find to buy books new. more
