Literally the worst staff I’ve we’ve seen, everyone was so unhelpful

Customer service. And presentation. When I went in, the first time, I was very lost, bought some stuff… but especially I was upset about the area. Then, I can back a second time and felt insulted… I was asked to take a picture that had no barcode on it. The third time, I was given attitude. And had to constantly wait for a task that could have been achieved, with ease, if the service had be with a proper greeting. Proper.Fix your signs!Also, the male representative. Opened my mail in front of me.

It was my first semester at this college, so I didn't think that later on I would have to collect evidence in order for them to take the rented books back. They gave me originally destroyed books and then at the end of the semester refused to accept them back, claiming that I took them in excellent condition, although this is not the case. Thus, they made me pay not only for the rent of books, but also for the purchase of completely destroyed books (once again they gave them to me in this state). Disgusting service. If you are considering buying or renting here as an option, then make sure to video the state of each page at the time you receive the books. Otherwise, they will tell you that you have no proof and will force you to buy it.

Not a real bookstore (or maybe bc Covid). Only textbooks for college students. Fewer normal books than a Publix

Great selection of books. Peaceful atmosphere. Diversity at its finest.

A very nice atmosphere and great selection of books of all kinds! I especially liked the way the floorboards would creek beneath your feet as you walked. The basement was a nice spot with a couple of chairs to sit in.

I do most of my reading through ebooks now, or listen to audiobooks for convenience, but there's just something about walking through a bookstore that makes me happy. Perhaps it's the sense of community from being near your fellow browsers, that you wouldn't get when clicking through amazon. Maybe it's the personal touch of getting book recommendations from a human instead of from an algorithm. Highly recommended you stop by; this place is pretty big for an Miami bookstore!

They have a nice affordable selection of crystals and lots of other things in this store, and the staff were nice and helpful. I didn't get a reading, but as far as products go, I'd recommend this shop.

I hope MDC Bookstore never leaves Miami. Such a fun place to bring visitors and friends, and a fantastic place to discover and buy new books. It's a part of the beat history of the city and in a great location. A wonderful collection of books and poetry, organized in a coherent fashion, and fun to browse.Highly recommend a visit or two!

I don’t get why it’s so hard to send purchased items to the correct address. 3 semesters in a row at least one of my access codes were shipped elsewhere. I received others packages and had to reach out to them personally to make sure they got their codes. Reached out to the email provided and they’ve yet to get back to and it’s been 2 weeks. I called and no one knows anything. Pathetic and Unacceptable. Figure it out

Have been going here many years, always a pleasure. Use to work a block away, now I am in Berkeley and missing the store very much.Can't think of another store with such an amazing foreign literature section.In fact, can't think of another bookstore in the bay area that compares except William Stout and 871 Fine Arts, which both have a specialty.

Very difficult to reach and staff not very knowledgeable about products or procedures. They look for any way to get off the phone with you so they don’t have to do anything. Surprisingly unhelpful to students. I was very unhappy with my many attempts to obtain my books for classes. One week later I still haven’t received my books that I had ordered from Danny the supervisor in the bookstore that should not be working there. I called to try and track the books and was told they couldn’t locate the books and provided a tracking number to call ups. Upon speaking to a representative and finally finding out that he put the wrong address down for the shipment. I’m very discouraged by the unprofessional behavior of this staff and they aren’t even staff of MDC and use that to continue to do poorly. They need revised by MDC. This is unacceptable and discouraging for new and future students.

Cool comic shop in the MDC Bookstore, nice selection of mainstream and indie / local titles, had a great conversation with the dude working there about Bay Area Thrash as he was enlightening all the shoppers with some Exodus on the sound system. Will visit again if I'm back in FL!

A bit on the pricey side but the staff is very knowledgeable and the selection is good.

Really nice store with lots of book varieties for a reader like me. I would recommend other readers for sure. Staff is helpful and friendly too.
