Having studied at university for three and a half years, I required plenty of book and lots of them from the Co-Op bookshop. They are the only bookshop in Sydney which have all necessary books stocked and ready to sell. Their inventory is immense but you should get in early to avoid disappointment. They sell brand new textbooks which are part of the curriculum. I highly suggest signing up for a membership to secure a further discount off the retail price. Membership costs $ 20 and includes benefits such as everyday savings, access to competitions and promotions and a lifetime membership. Conveniently situated in among UTS in the city, the Co-Op bookshop is easily accessible. For UTS students, there is also a smaller Co-Op bookshop located on site at the UTS Ku-Ring-Gai campus. The Co-Op bookstore offers free delivery within Australia which is a major plus considering the weight of textbooks. Trust me– carrying 8 textbooks back on the train and walking home is not ideal! They sell a range of textbooks from all types of faculties and the staff are really friendly and know their stuff! Overall, it’s a relatively smooth transaction for all.
