Yelp.com Review - by s R.

1.0 of 5 stars. If you go here and have eBay you're throwing your money away! I ONLY go here if eBay doesn't have any of my books, and normally it does. I find it dumb that they make sooo much money from SJSU...

Yelp.com Review - by Bart F.

2.0 of 5 stars. How dare you do what you do! Enraged, doesn't nearly explain my sentiments. You rob the poor, hungry, and nearly destitute students with your buy-back practices. How does a new book that was read...

Yelp.com Review - by Michael H.

3.0 of 5 stars. Robert's is the only competition to the campus bookstore, besides the incredible selection at Amazon.com.While Robert's may not have as big a book selection as the campus bookstore, they usually carry...

Yelp.com Review - by Noel M.

4.0 of 5 stars. Unless you enjoy getting dumb stares from Spartan employees when asking questions, or being told that the book is not available, or your order was lost...just go to Robert's. It's not ALWAYS cheaper...

Yelp.com Review - by Jean K.

5.0 of 5 stars. I had to get a book last minute, and they were so helpful. I called them to see if they had my textbook and the lady was so nice. They also had some cheap paper back novels up for 50 cents each, so...

Yelp.com Review - by Tiffany W.

3.0 of 5 stars. Personally, I rather come here to buy my books than at the Spartan Bookstore on campus. Just like other Yelpers have mentioned, you do save money buying your books here rather than from school. Also,...

3.0 of 5 stars. Robert's Bookstore, SJSU's Spartan Bookstore's off-campus competitor, is located right across the street from SJSU's Campus Village. This shop has considerably lower textbook prices than the Spartan...

Yelp.com Review - by David K.

4.0 of 5 stars. Buying books online is a new trend, but have you tried returning them? You can save a few bucks, but if you don't get your class you're stuck with a $100 discounted book. Robert's is a good...

good service but expensive by Rich D. at InsiderPages

Like any usual college book store, the books there are very expensive (well compared to the internet like half.com at least). One plus side with this place is that the lines move fast and the service there is...

this carries all the books for my son's needs in school and is most of the time cheaper than the one that is on campus he tells me. for an inperson bookstore (not comparing to books online), he always goes...

Pretty good by David D. at InsiderPages

This is a pretty good bookstore if you do not planning on buying your books online because buying the prices cannot be compared between buying the books online and in store. There have a good selection and is...

Buy or sell your books here
