Cute bookstore! Ron Douglas copycat cookbooks are below par. Definitely, I would NOT recommend Method To Millions. Its probably filled with copycat strategies from real internet business experts. I recommendAnik Singal, a true millionaire with an abundance of wealth and real strategies!

Worst bookstore anywhere!!!The owner rips off KSU students takes advantage of young students who have not figured out they can go to Amazon.com and get the same used books for much much less!Id rather give my money to support the KSU bookstore than deal with this company.Staff is less than helpfulOverall its not worth the hassle. I would never give them another penny!

Call this store looking for some books on 8-19-20. I purchased some books here before over $1000.00 and was happy with the out come of my order. Today when I call I ask for Gary who helped me before. The person today was unprofessional he said I Told you GARY Does Not Work Here Anymore and hang up the phone😡. I never ask for Gary before now. Now I refuse to spend my money with people like this. If and when this store do out of business Wich they will its because of people like this who answered the phone and treat their customers. Customers call to spend there money and get information not looking for hand out. I will be purchasing my books somewhere else not this store, and I will not recommend this store to anyone.

The books are well organized and easy to find. The staff and friendly and helpful. To top it off, the prices are always better than the on-campus bookstore.

Prices almost always beat those of the University Bookstore, and the staff are knowledgeable and friendly. You can find some books for better prices online, especially the expensive ones, but you cant beat the convenience of relatively low cost (and option to rent instead of buy) and having your textbook in hand the same day.

Its okay. Always order or rent your textbooks online to save a ton of money. The bookstore is always going to be more expensive. Good to drop off textbooks you would throw away instead to get a little spare change.

It’s a good place to get textbooks instead of KSUs on-campus bookstore. You have to sign a form when you go in to rent for the first time which I didn’t know, so I had to leave the line and do that then get back in line which was frustrating. It’s an okay layout; it seems a little cramped. The staff was nice too.

Definitely the place for students to purchase used books, including high schoolers.

They generally pay a bit more than the ksu campus bookstore. And their textbook prices are also usually better. Convenient to the KSU campus(basically across the street).

They will sell you damaged rental books and charge you for them when you try to return. Highly do not recommend this place. Total rip off.

Review №16

First time here that turned into my last time. I walked in and asked for help and the employee mocked me in what I asked for and walked away. I asked the next cashier for help and she told me that the other employee went to look for the book I needed... which wasnt true because I never gave her the name because I had to look it up. Very disappointed in the customer service.

A real jewel, you dont see many brick and mortar book stores and this one is exemplary.

They are efficient and tell you exactly what you need to know. They are better at getting people in and out then the ksu campus bookstore is. The general bookstore is usually cheaper than ksu as well.

Review №19

I have always chosen to shop here rather than give more money to the university bookstore. Not anymore. PLEASE DONT SHOP HERE! I just received the worst customer service. I purchased my case studies back at Christmas while I was up in Kennesaw. I just found out other students purchased the same package for $50 LESS. They refused to refund the difference. They state prices are subject to change at any time. Were talking not even a months difference for the same semester! Kelly was very rude. Im glad I only have one semester left. They will not be getting my business.

This place can still be pricey but its still cheaper than buying your books from KSU. Good place to go when you need books fast or just a book or two. Great staff friendly and very helpful!

Theyre not bad if you absolutely need a bookstore. Dont sell you books back to them unless you want less than 10% of what you paid for them.

They’ll scam you watch out. Can’t stress it enough, go on amazon to rent, or better yet search google for a free pdf of whatever book you need

Why are they over charging for rental books? & They are not too friendly close to closing time SMH 😒😒😒😠

Review №33

Not only are they very difficult and rope off each section so that it is very difficult to tell if you have the right book or not. I rented the book, and when it was due back they closed 15 minutes early. So I was then charged for the full price of the book and STILL had to return the book. In other words, I was charged for renting the book, full price of the book, and still had to return the book I technically bought. On top of that, when I told them the store closed early and that I was there...they said there was nothing they could do. Horrible.
