The Book Nook at UBC Okanagan Review

Western Canada's largest academic and independent book seller - what's not to love!

Has what you need in regards to textbooks but it's expensive

Not as big as in Vancouver but enough to provide all necessity things.

Way overpriced, go to staples for everything instead. And you can get 99% of your textbooks for free online as pdf's

It's always so much fun to go shopping through all of the goodies available at the bookstore. Price wise, it's not cheap, but the vast array of items for sale makes up for this.

Engineering paper here is the best! books are a bit pricy though

Expensive but good quality. Make sure that if you're not buying your textbook from here, that you don't need launchpad (online portion) for the class. Launchpad is included in new textbook purchases, but almost the same price as the textbook on it's own.

Huge with lots of UBC merch, books, electronics and everything you could need!

Get your books before class starts to avoid waiting lines, can also order online and pickup.

Pretty good bookstore. Book prices are obviously a much better deal if you buy online though. Lanes are very small and it's very hard to walk around in here. At least they have lots of people working. Hard to find what you're looking for.

Their prices are too high and rip you off with their access codes! I recommend the used bookstore in UNC building. They sold me a non-refundable access code for $34 when I only need it for 6 weeks and can get it with a monthly subscription of $2.99. The access code wasn't even a scratch type to show that I haven't even used the code.

It would be easier to find textbooks if they were arranged by subject/course instead of by author because the printed book lists are often difficult to read and determine who the author is.
I've asked the same question to multiple employees and get a different answer every time.
It would be nice if it was laid out better so that at the beginning of the semester when there are 100 people waiting to purchase, the lineup doesn't block all the aisles.
I definitely recommend going to Okanagan Textbook Exchange first if your books are available there, and also checking the Green Text store.

Lines are pretty long during first semester, but that is to be expected. They really shouldn't allow backpacks in though as things get really crowded with them. Books listed by author rather than by course, which just makes things harder to find. Staff are really nice and always helpful though

Overpriced, but gets you what you need. Also, the place on campus for New Textbooks

It's a very neat and organized. It has a large selection, and the employees are very friendly.

They have a decent selection of UBC clothing and collectables. They also carry many basic school supplies (along with textbooks). The primary problem with the bookstore is their prices are somewhat higher than at most local businesses and shopping websites.

Descent line time try and come early or late in the day.
