Seattle Central College Bookstore

Pretty fair textbook prices and very fair notebook prices. Yes, you can find textbooks cheaper online usually, but this place is not trying to rip you off.nnEmployees are always friendlynnRequest: supply graph-paper notebooks!

If you're doing textbook rentals, double check the rental prices on their website so you don't get mis-charged. Went in for 2 rentals at the beginning of Fall Quarter, and at the end of the Quarter went to return both and found out that I was actually charged for 1 rental and 1 PURCHASE. Both books had the big 'Book Rental' stickers on it and the staff didn't offer to fix their original mistake. Wasn't able to sell it back either. Store hours also didn't match what's listed on their website. That all said, if you're not taking public transport or live close by, it's easier to just get your textbooks online.

They've got all the books and supplies that are assigned per given quarter and they have a great buy-back program to recoup some money from your books when the quarter is over. Student operated and friendly customer service. Convenient location across the street from school.

This place is garbage.They advertise price matching EXPLICITLY calling out Amazon on their sign, yet when you show them a cheaper price for a textbook on Amazon all of a sudden they can't price match Amazon unless Amazon is out of stock. The manager literally told me since it's cheaper on Amazon, I should just order it from them which completely defeats the purpose of price matching in the first place not to mention that students can't really wait around for their textbook to be delivered when they have assignments due This is one of the most flagrant false advertising scams I've ever seen

I don't know why the school supports a 3rd party contracted business to sell marked up supplies to our students. Might as well use Amazon instead for better prices.
