Blacksburg, VA’s Tech Bookstore is the best location for Virginia Tech students looking to purchase textbooks for class, school supplies, or Hokie gear to show school spirit! They offer an easy online reservation system to acquire books for class at lower prices than on campus vendors. In addition, the clothing selection is much larger and less expensive than the University-affiliated bookstore or general store. Tech’s employs Tech students, so you know you’re supporting their education and the community. I am a frequent customer of Tech Bookstore and can testify to their fair prices and helpful service. At few establishments have I encountered such a friendly and welcoming staff. Of particular interest to Tech students is the online textbook reservation system, which requires only that you enter the course numbers for your semester’s classes. The store’s site will then compile a list of all required texts and offer to reserve them until you arrive to pick them up. Tech Bookstore also offers a customer loyalty program which can provide large discounts when you make purchases using your loyalty card. In addition to fantastic service, selection, and prices, the inviting and spirited atmosphere in the store ensures that you will want to visit again. I am happy, as a Virginia Tech undergraduate, to recommend Tech Bookstore to all students, alumni, fans, and members of the greater Blacksburg community.
