Booksmart is a family-owned business that has been serving Florida Atlantic University and Palm Beach State College for over 26 years. It is a great independent bookstore, one of the largest and best stocked for both textbooks and used books. It functions as an excellent place for used book lovers, with aisles and aisles of wonderful books across many categories, from novels and history to gardening. The store consistently offers discounted textbooks, both new and used, for FAU and Palm Beach State, and is cheaper than the campus stores. Students can buy or rent books in-store or online. It also carries hard-to-find non-book materials like access codes, lab coats, and clickers, as well as FAU merchandise. Customer service is unmatched, with nice, helpful staff who go out of their way to help. The store has a wonderfully brilliant cross of nostalgia and modern needs, offering a quaint alternative to giant corporate bookshops. It is a spot students and book aficionados will love.

Speechless on how many titles there are and reasonable prices. I’ve been to many used bookstores in the USA- this one may be the best. If you’ve been to the Strand in NYC, this place is on par- if not better.

Great selection of books for any interest. Personal is very friendly and knowledgeable.
