Not really like a bookstore, but more like a tourist attraction and gift shops. It’s located inside Stanford University, one of the Ivy Leagues. The store carries a lot of merchandise, from Stanford merchs, to souvenirs, stationery, technology equipment, books and even a cafe spot.The...Read More

A decent bookstore where you get general, science, social books , books for children, books by university authors, self help etc along with merchandise. What you don’t get is technical books on subjects or software. I would appreciate if they plan something on this regard....Read More

The Stanford University Bookstore is awesome for Stanford gear, tech gadgets, and plenty of textbooks. But when I went looking for a book on Stanford’s actual history? No luck! I asked the two super-friendly ladies at the info desk, and they searched high and low...Read More

A bookstore and souvenir shop with many souvenirs related to Stanford University. Today, many parents buy souvenirs here, hoping their children will come to Stanford. This is a huge business. Many brands, including Nike, collaborated with Stanford University to launch products. It's expensive, but it's...Read More

Not only books but also coffee, clothing, other merchandise, and a variety of items that you can use on a daily basis. Alums get ten percent off all merchandise. Make sure you stop by the upstairs coffee shop and try the Stanford water - it...Read More

I love the bookstore and its offerings, but I placed an online order with several Christmas gifts and the order has been "In Process" for the past 12 days with no sign of shipping. So much for their 4-7 day deliver window. What's worse is...Read More

Two floors full of Stanford merchandise - at ridiculous prices. And during the whole summer the scientific department in the basement (what you would expect to be the cornerstone of a bookstore at a university) is completely empty. The general books department just has the...Read More

Would not recommend buying anything online. I made a purchase assuming everything would be in stock (for overseas gifts), they charged my credit card, and then the order didn't arrive in time. I've tried calling 3 times, left messages, e-mailed twice, and no one has...Read More

The idea of a newly purchased book is to be preventable, preserved and last. Many bookstores place stickers on book covers, but here they put such stickers as if you are never supposed to remove them! Peeling them off completely destroys the book cover. Not...Read More
