Miner Books

It’s that time again! Back to school for many college students in the greater charlotte area. With the spring semester off to a quick start, college students are faced with the daunting task of having to buy their textbooks. We all know how much of a pain it is to buy books. Some would even argue that buying books is a «waste» of your money. And living in our economy today who really wants to «waste» money. I don’t know about you, but I am definitely on board for saving as much money as I can when buying my books. With that being said, last week I perused around the web with my freshly printed list of ISBN numbers pricing my textbooks at several stores trying to find the biggest bang for my buck. Often times I found that the stores were adopting a new textbook rental option which allowed students to rent their books at a decently reduced price depending on the condition of the rental (i.e. «New» or «Used» textbooks). I just so happened to stumble upon a fairly new store to the university area called «Miner Books.» So I decided to check it out and see what the store had to offer. Typing in each ISBN number I found that this store offered free ground shipping, and many of their textbook rental prices to be noticeably less expensive than the other stores I’d checked into. I’d hit the jackpot free shipping and money saver! This store is definitely an all around win. Also when you order online the store offers an «In-​Store Pick Up» option so if they have the book in stock you can purchase it online and then pick it up in store. And to top it all off the location of the store couldn’t be more convenient for the Charlotte college student. Situated just off of University City Boulevard, and seconds from the UNC Charlotte main entrance to campus, Miner Books is sure to take off as soon as the word gets out about their great textbook prices and service! So check it out, and Unilocal it Up :)
