Book Viking Review

Such a helpful place! I got my books for way less and saved lots of money!

Best and cheapest option in town to get your books! Great service!!

So much better than the bookstore! Better prices, and they've got a sweet system set up for optimal efficency. :)

Cheaper than any other local textbook service. Not a very nicely organized place (I'm pretty sure I've seen a cat chilling out behind the front desk) but all you're doing is renting/buying used textbooks, not a huge need for it to be fancy. Usually seem to get a discount for a local food place.

WENDY IS THE GREATEST!!!!! THIS PLACE SAVED ME SO MUCH MONEY AND MADE ME HAVE HOPE FOR PAYING FOR SCHOOL!

Book viking is efficient and easy to use. They have great service and I would definitely recommend them to anyone and everyone!!

Wow this place is great! They have books for school at super low prices. They also have neat Knick knacks to look at. Sheliese was so kind and friendly! She wanted to ensure that I made a good decision in buying books, and she did the same for other customers. Hope more students will consider them for their book needs

Great customer service, and the prices of the books are better than the school. I recommend !

Will buy back for really low nut a good place to get texts

Fair price for text books! Interesting store, but their prices beat anything else!

I love this place they are so great! And I love the cat! Nice people and great service and great deals!

Book Viking is much cheaper than campus. Found all the books I needed and quick process.

Wonderful staff that are willing to help, and i love that they are cheaper then the bookstore. Really nice when you are a broke college student.

Friendly service- very efficent, almost always have the book you're looking for this semester- check it out if you can't find everything you need from the BYUI Store- their prices are generally better, and it'll save you considerable time versus waiting for something to arrive from Amazon!

Very helpful, and has always had my books I'm looking for, cheaper than anywhere else. Fantastic service!

Friendly experience and great pricing! Best prices we've found here in town! We recommend!!!

I really love this place. The service is great, and they always try to get you the best deal

They have a cat. And rocks. Would give 10 stars if I could.

This place is great! The staff are so great. I'm always in and out in minuets. They find all the books you need for you on the spot!

Best place to get textbooks! Cheap, fast, and easy.

Good place to get your textbooks. Fairly cheap, and easy to work with them. Bring cash, they give you a slight discount.

I go to book Viking for the very cheap textbooks and I really like cats. I first saw book Viking in the 4th of July parade with the cat in the four wheeler. They also give a free slice of pizza at book buyback. That alone just really made my day.

This was my first time visiting the store. I called ahead and spoke with an exceptionally polite worker who answered all my questions. When I came in, there were plenty of people who directed me and explained what the next step was. Personally, there were a tab too many people that it got a little overwhelming. Thankfully, they were all so nice. The computer system was a little confusing. I ended up having to log in twice because the window closed five times on me. They have a discount deal for if you pay with cash. Definitely wish I had known about that before I came by. Regardless, the textbook I got was fairly cheap.

Always friendly. It great quirky place to rent your books for a good price.

They're really great in making sure they have the materials students need. I had a mix up, my fault, and they were willing and able to work with me on it. 10/10!

Thor is a local legend. The books are way cheaper than what you can find at the bookstore. Godsent business.

Best prices in town. Been going here since 2011, and am glad to have used them all through school. They have consistently beaten the school's prices year after year after year... (yeah yeah.. I've taken forever to graduate...blah blah blah...) At least I could save on books during my journey here. Thanks guys.

Loved saving money here. Either they don t have the book you need or they are cheaper than the university. Great service.

Really good and really cheap and really fast to rent and buy books!!

Better prices than anywhere and never had a bad experience!

Save money every time! The prices really are less than renting or buying on campus. If you're allergic to cats though, maybe send a friend. *takes benedryl*

They sell a lot of cool rocks and minerals, great selection.

They have great customer service and I can get my books for a great price! I love going there!

Their late fees are arbitrarily set and not clearly defined in their contracts or anywhere that customers can know about them before hand. That is incredibly unethical for a company to be so non-transparent about their fees.

I have had 5 kids graduate from BYU Idaho. Book Viking started after 2 graduated. Book Viking saved the last 3 kids so much $$ and so many headaches. It is well worth going over to the book Viking to get your books.

These guys are pretty good, they know their stuff and have pretty good book prices. They also have all kinds of fun gem, sculptures, etc. for sale.

They are fantastic with their customer service! Great at communicating. At the beginning of the semester I had a book that they needed to order and although there was a mistake in the the delivery (that was not their fault it was the delivery company) they offered a refund or anything they could do to since I was book less for a couple days. In the end it all worked out and I have never been happier with Book Viking. If you need books for school, this is the place and they'll do everything they can to help!

They are cheaper that the University bookstore, books are useful, people are kind. If you pay with cash - there is 3% discount.

What a great gem.
For the service they provide, they are a great business & have a lot of useful resources for students. I have been attending BYUI for a yr now - not once have they ever been unhelpful, rude, or dissatisfying. They have every textbook I have ever needed in stock or ready to rent/buy immediately. I have compared the prices myself, they are the place to go if you want to see a big difference in your wallet while attending school.
Plus- they have really cool rocks & stones you can buy, so the energy is great. I'll say once again, what a great gem!

Easy to get books, cheaper than campus, faster than online, free pizza slice coupon usually with purchases

Book Viking might be a little walk, but they will save you money even if they only have one or two books for you to use. I've always had no issues and quick visit there and I have saved over $200 on book Rentals.

I've rented here since freshman year--save money and rent here! (:

I had a very positive experience. It was my first time going to this place. It was highly recommended by a good good friend.I was honestly dreading going because of my previous experience at the main campus bookstore and boy was i wrong! It started with me being greeted by wonderful smiling faces telling me to regusregister. After I did so they gave me a piece of top notch top shelf chocolate like they know I loved chocolate! Simple and sweet they had my books and they where at least half the price if not less than I'm used to. Highly recommend and will be back!

They always beat BYUIs book prices. The school was going to charge me $500 for some books but BookViking only charged me $200. I go to them every semester. You can rent, buy, and sell here. They'll buy your books at a better price than campus as well. Go here for your books and skip BYUI bookstore and Amazon!

The Staff here are great! They help you get the books you need and for a cheaper price. This was my first time renting a book from them and I really liked how friendly Everyone was. They even gave me a slice of pizza which was pretty sweet.

They have great prices here! Always a good experience!

Nice place and they have friendly stuff.. and if you're looking for cheaper books for school they are the way. They have the option to rent wich is pretty cool and also cheaper prices. Plus you get to return the books if you're not going to use them.

This store is amazing! Their process is SO efficient. We were in and out in no time at all, even as new customers. Their employees were top-notch, and they gave us candy for being new customers! Also, the prices were incredible. I rented 4 books for $20 (obviously price varies based on the book), and they said that if I really like the books, I can come back and pay the extra cost to keep them. They also offer a short-term return policy if it turns out you don t need the book. Highly recommend this company!

The service is great and the employees are really nice. I really appreciate the kindness of the employees. Overall great service!

It is quick and easy. everyone is very friendly and helpful.

Fairly quick service and way cheaper than the campus bookstore. They almost always have my books in, as long as I get there early enough because they can sell out.
