They have everything and the staff is super friendly. Love this place!!
Great selection + friendly staff.
A really nice university bookstore. Lots of Iowa stuff, great textbook selections (as there should be) tucked into a corner of Main St Iowa City and just up the street from the AirLiner Diner and around the corner from Joes. You could probably skip the bookstore and head right to either bar.
Lots of Iowa Hawkeye apparel and a large selection of books. The place buys used college books as well.
Overall great selection of University of Iowa merchandise. Prices are very high however and many of the apparel options dont have sizes past XL. Employees were nice but were on their phones the whole time we were in the store.
Locals call it Iowa Crook and Supply¹..... j/sYou may need the textbooks or the Mail/Package Handling² that they do, but literally everything else is much cheaper elsewhere. If you only have Ucred to spend then so be it, otherwise go to another store..¹Before they Incorporated into an LLC(another University Scam to bilk money from students), they were the Official U book store and used the business name Iowa Book and Supply.²the extra services are the reason for the 2 stars, theres nothing all that great about anything else, except the occasional decent employee.
Very friendly and helpful
They have a great selection of college books for all your classes at a reasonable price. As for clothing apparel, theyre prices are flat out rediculous. They have a nice selection but I wouldnt purchase a single piece of their taxed clothing.
Nice selection . Does need more conservative books.
The end of an era...we will all miss you. Thanks for all the years of service. Folks come Now, and get great deals! 40% off books when we visited on 3.2.2019
Great place to grab last minute studying tools. Never have to wait in line long to check out. The location is adjacent to school, makes it an easy choice.
The hours of the Iowa Book store often dont match with a student has classes until the night and thus makes it difficult to obtain books. As well, even when youre available, books are often second-hand, overpriced, and at times, not in stock, leading to a conundrum of issues. Furthermore, books at Iowa Book LLC dont always have the latest edition required for classes, creating more problems. I would suggest looking at the hawk shop instead to support the University of Iowa or online to save money.
Great service in a friendly shopping environment.
I got some great deals for my daughter, son, husband, and me!! So excited! Love going! Here everyone is so friendly!
It was huge, well lit, well organized, and a wide variety of cool college-themed clothes
If youre a dumb ass Iowa Freshman I suppose this place is what youre left with as a captive market drone. Nothing good here except Iowa Hawkeye Sports apparel and text books. Incompetent staff, who when they cant figure out an issue and are asked to get a manager, will tell you The manager doesnt know how to do it either The only thing this place is good for is taking a dump in their barely adequate restroom facilities.
Decent offshoot of the UI bookstore. But the main branch has better selection
Best place to get new hawkeye gear.
Stuff is expensive here but its good if you need school supplies quick or if your parents are buying
There are lots of good priced clothes and tons of books to choose from
Great Hawk selection. Good deals
If you are looking for great unique Iowa Hawkeye apparel this is your place. Very good selection and sizes available.
Very helpful, courteous, friendly Had exactly what I wanted and where to find it. Knew what was in stock and out of stock without having to check. And how many!!!
Was asked if I needed help right as I walked in, even though they were relatively busy. Very much appreciated
Nice place with a great variety of Iowa Hawkeye merchandise. Little pricey
Great clothing but terrible employment, I was shopping inside before closing and at the exact time that they closed they made me leave. Any clothing place that respects their customers and has good employment should wait till the customer has found what they wanted and not rudely kick them out.
Everything Hawkeye that you could ever want and all your study needs all in one place.
Im from South America and the prices compared to Chile are simply great. I found a map in 6 dollars approximately and lots of booklets.
Go Hawkeyes! This store has textbooks, binders, office supplies, all things black and gold in cups, shorts, shoes, and fan gear. There are plenty of Iowa History books, fiction written by local authors and Iowa memorabilia.
We always stop here when visiting. The staff is very friendly and they have a great selection.
We enjoy visiting Iowa Book every time we come to Iowa City. Always have had a positive experience there.
Only place I can find ultra fine pens.
A great variety of Iowa Hawkeye products!
This place is everything that is wrong with current day bookstores. over priced books you can get for half the price anywhere else. unhelpful and rude staff who dont seem to care. mediocre and honestly dOlla store quality hawkeye merchandise that again you can buy for less online or at other stores. save yourself a headache and just skip this place
Good Hawkeye gear selection
Usually has helpful staff. Books are always a scam but at least this place is efficient.
This place sucks and everything is overpriced and the employees are all unhelpful and rude. Also, they don’t allow you to use your hawk account to purchase anything. I’m not sure why they even named themselves “Iowa book” and carry everything for the university when they don’t allow you to charge your university account. Just purchase your books literally anywhere else unless you want to spend hundreds of dollars.
Hot chocolate with the coconut I added was awesome.
Iowa tradition, get the best hawkeye gear!!!
They have a great deal where you can get a large soda for $.25 on Fridays
Love this place ! Hometown great !
Disappointed that they closed 5 min early and would not allow a potential UI student to find some Hawkeye wear.
An interesting collection of books the downstairs have some hidden gems of books
Great college bookstore. Has a great selection of Hawkeye stuff
Great selection of Iowa gear. Prices are usually comparable to other places in town and occasionally coming in cheaper.
All good love the free gift wrapping
Always has lots of fan gear and items that you can never find anywhere else! We spent a lot of time shopping here!
Well stocked
The only place I go!
Not the University of Iowa affiliated bookstore so your money doesnt support the students or campus community in any way.
Quickly found what I wanted.
Good to be back on campus.
Iowa book! A one of a kind bookstore!
Lots of college themed clothes, posters and knock knacks.
Cool place ig
Nice book store
Lots of options, but its not visually appealing (seems disorganized)
Had pens Id been looking for all over town!
Friendly staff, quality merchandise.
Good book store
Great selection of Hawkeyes gear, but they come with a steep price; even the clearance section will hurt the wallet.
They got books, and shirts
Great little shop
Has everything you need
Ten cent pop on Fridays all day
