It's nice to have a shop on campus but FYI, they don't take meal swipe even if it's less than 6.60, you have to use flex or retriever dollars. (Or cash/credit)

Over priced as expected but fills the role of convenience. Bought a calculator earlier to day on to identify that it was the wrong one. Tried returning it in unopened condition with a receipt only to be directed to a returns policy diagram that was facing away from the cashier that outlines a no return policy for calculators. There was a smaller sign listing non-returnable items on the counter that I saw prior to my purchase, it did not list calculators. I tried reasoning with the manager about the mixed message but she wouldn't hear it. Long story short, I'm now the proud owner of a $160.00 UMBC calculator, cost $95 on Amazon, that I don't want or need. I guess the calculator policy was more important than my future business.

Be sure to stop in before the breaks. In the summer, they restock and at the end of June, the selection goes down. Just FYI

Please don't actually buy books here. Everything is overpriced, save your money for mandatory software such as webassign or my accounting lab.

Super friendly staff, went out of their way to help me. Textbook prices are comparable. I find alot of my titles here for the same or less than online. Have alot of fun contests and sales just have to be in the know (aka follow them on twitter or facebook) The Yum Shoppe is the best part! You cannot beat their prices snd selection!

Just your average overpriced, incompetent campus bookstore. You'll pay a lot for your textbooks, sell them back for mere pennies, and wait longer than you'd like for online orders. I would buy your books online on half.com if you can avoid the bookstore. The lines can be long and slow moving at the beginning of the semester.

Probably not the best place for rock bottom prices on textbooks. But for me it works out. I've used them for all semesters at UMBC; avoid the book loan service. Used this during my first semester and the transaction was mishandled. Lead to additional charges due to paperwork problems (extra $150 dollars). Just wait until after the first week to get books if you have any financial aid.
