L & M Book Store

ALWAYS check craigslist, Amazon, and eBay first. These guys are expen$ive!!!
Prices are outrageous, lines and parking can be also. Service has always been acceptable.

I needed to speak to someone and no one answered the phone for 30 minutes. I find this extremely unprofessional for a place of business and will be buying my books elsewhere next semester.

I’m not very fond of this book store. They never order enough books for your class and then when you ask them if you can order them you might get a no answer. The prices are really expensive!
is much cheaper and more reliable. The workers are OK. I had a bad experience with this lady working the information desk, she told me she’ll be back and never came back! I and others waited 15 mins till another worker attended to us.

The bookstore is primarily run by UTSA students, so they are always very helpful with assisting me. They often know which book I need without looking at the course number. College students know all too well about outrageous textbook prices, but thankfully, L&M now allows students to rent the majority (if not all) of their books.

When I began college I hated going to these bookstores. I always felt like everyone was so scattered and rushed. Made me mistake alot of the workers for being rude.
But now looking back at those days when I walk in there now I feel really bad for even believing that for a second.
These workers are more organized than you know. Many are students themselves. But their rushing is just keeping each angry rude customer at ease. I have to give the staff here major kudos.
I have gone in 3 times recently and each time there has been a rude customer at the counter literally yelling at the staff. But each time the staff would do everything possible to make this rude being happy again.
Yes the books can be a bit pricey but they are always reliable verses some other bookstores it is hit or miss on book selections.

These bookstores are WAY overpriced. Use them to find which books you need for the semester, then find the books on Amazon or some other website.
New editions, university specific books, and school spirit items can be purchased here, but for used books look elsewhere (the internet), and you’ll save a LOT of money.
