They use false advertisement. They say they are 20-50% less then campus Guaranteed which is untrue and misleading information given to you to get you to buy something. Get your books on campus they cost the same. This place is not worth your time.Used biochemistry book on campus $189 vs used biochemistry book book Viking $188 this is not 20% and the advertisement is misleading.

This place is a tiny treasure trove of delights. They focus on art pieces crafted with or from crystals and semi-precious stones, but you can also find music boxes, crowns and coronets, some jewelry and other unusual pieces. Plus, you might be meet Thor the Cat, Ruler of Shelves and Greeter of Interesting Persons!

Book Viking is great! I love how much cheaper their book prices are from campus.

Definitely always worth checking into before you go to the campus bookstores!

There were no real vikings. 0/10But they did have books, so 5/10So 5/5 stars

Bought books and rocks. Good book selection, good mineral selection, good cat.

Brian is very helpful and interactive. Thor is the best kitty cat mascot ever!!

This place may very well have saved me from a debt filled life. They are very kind and understanding. Their prices are easily half that of what the university sells them and they have cool rocks/minerals... where’s that collection bookstore??? They are flexible on returns and actually sound like they want to help you out.

Loved their cat thor!

Fair prices on books for school.

They have great pricing and a lot of fun and unique things, along with their textbooks.

This was my first time visiting the store. I called ahead and spoke with an exceptionally polite worker who answered all my questions. When I came in, there were plenty of people who directed me and explained what the next step was. Personally, there were a tab too many people that it got a little overwhelming. Thankfully, they were all so nice. The computer system was a little confusing. I ended up having to log in twice because the window closed five times on me. They have a discount deal for if you pay with cash. Definitely wish I had known about that before I came by. Regardless, the textbook I got was fairly cheap.

What a great gem.For the service they provide, they are a great business & have a lot of useful resources for students. I have been attending BYUI for a yr now - not once have they ever been unhelpful, rude, or dissatisfying. They have every textbook I have ever needed in stock or ready to rent/buy immediately. I have compared the prices myself, they are the place to go if you want to see a big difference in your wallet while attending school.Plus- they have really cool rocks & stones you can buy, so the energy is great. Ill say once again, what a great gem!

Unique items and reasonable prices.

Prices are fair, and it is true they are cheaper than campus. I purchased a book instead of renting and was given one that was damaged (literally a sticker on the back that says damaged, so they knew). Also, dont go in there if you are allergic to cats. Even with their fast service, I am still leaving there sneezing.

Cat was good boy, saw many rocks.

They are definitely cheaper than campus. Depending on what classes youre taking, you can probably buy your books cheaper online at AbeBooks or ThriftBooks than it costs to rent them at BookViking. Overall though, theyre always super nice, and the process is quick and painless. Not a bad option!

Great prices and service! They also have a lot of cool rocks, crystals, and butterflies!

Fake rocks, very sad. extra star for the cat though.

Book Viking has always saved me money on my books for school! The employees are super nice and the whole process is super slick. You pay even less if you pay with cash! I only paid $28 for all of my books for this semester! Totally worth it. 👌👌

Exceptionally well, the people that work there are fine for the most part. Helpful, very helpful in aiding me in finding my books

Great place. Love all the crystals.

This place rocks, and has rocks, and has a cat. Oh and books too. Textbooks. University textbooks.

The staff was helpful. They have a lot of signs saying that it is cheaper than the BYU-I bookstore, but my book was more expensive at the Book Viking than BYU-I. Unfortunately BYU-I was sold out of the text book.Edit in Response to ower:I bought in on Monday the 14th. My first name is William and I will hould be under that name. The book is Feedback Control of Dynamic Systems by Franklin, Powell, Emami-Naeini. It cost me $148.40, BYU-I sells it for $142.50 (that is without tax, so they are probably comparable in price)

Save money every time! The prices really are less than renting or buying on campus. If youre allergic to cats though, maybe send a friend. *takes benedryl*

Wow this place is great! They have books for school at super low prices. They also have neat Knick knacks to look at. Sheliese was so kind and friendly! She wanted to ensure that I made a good decision in buying books, and she did the same for other customers. Hope more students will consider them for their book needs 👍

The owner is very nice, theyre crystals are awesome! Really great prices!

Interesting selection, great prices.

Cheapest textbooks in Rexburg. Why even bother getting them on campus

Always friendly. It great quirky place to rent your books for a good price.

Terrible refund policy. Last day for a refund is only 4 days after semester starts. Kids are still changing classes then!! At least make the last day correspond with the last day to register fir full classes. Terrible service.

Book Viking has great prices on books! I went to them just to support local businesses, but was pleasantly surprised at their cheaper options! The were 25% cheaper than campus! I highly recommend checking with them first on any books you need.

This store is amazing! Their process is SO efficient. We were in and out in no time at all, even as new customers. Their employees were top-notch, and they gave us candy for being new customers! Also, the prices were incredible. I rented 4 books for $20 (obviously price varies based on the book), and they said that if I really like the books, I can come back and pay the extra cost to keep them. They also offer a short-term return policy if it turns out you don’t need the book. Highly recommend this company!

They make it really easy to get everything you need and it really is cheaper. Nice people that run it.

Good prices for textbooks and lots of awesome rocks to buy.

Went above and beyond at the end of my semester. I had rented a book and forgot to return it by the due date so I was just going to buy it, but I had to leave town. I was planning with them to buy it once I got back but life happened and two weeks later I was contacted again reminding about the book. Due to a family emergency I was unable to purchase the book at the time we planned, which was after hours. So he said he would just drive to my place and pick it up with no fees or anything! Book Viking is the best! Thanks again!

He was knowledgeable about the books he could buy back and paid me more for my textbooks than any of the online resources I could find.

The Staff here are great! They help you get the books you need and for a cheaper price. This was my first time renting a book from them and I really liked how friendly Everyone was. They even gave me a slice of pizza which was pretty sweet.

Its an alright store, they undersell you on any book buy back and resell it as if it were new. Id suggest renting books if you really need them, but their prices arent very competitive. There is a cool mineral and fossil collection up for sale thats visible from the parking lot, its all pretty neat. But yeah, over all its pretty average. Nice cat though.

They sell a lot of cool rocks and minerals, great selection.

Better prices than the university store and has helpful staff. They almost always have any book you need. You are likely to find the same books cheaper on Amazon. The store itself always seems cluttered and not that clean.

Love this place to get my books for the semester! Super low prices too! My book costs went down from a total of $300 to just $35! Everyone there is so helpful and sometimes you get to see the little cat. 11/10 would recommend to anyone looking to rent or buy their books. They also will buy most of your books off of you if you take them in! Definitely going back to Book Viking when I need books again for my next semester.

They are fantastic with their customer service! Great at communicating. At the beginning of the semester I had a book that they needed to order and although there was a mistake in the the delivery (that was not their fault it was the delivery company) they offered a refund or anything they could do to since I was book less for a couple days. In the end it all worked out and I have never been happier with Book Viking. If you need books for school, this is the place and theyll do everything they can to help!

They gave me $1 for my organic chemistry textbook that was in really good condition which, on Amazon is sold for $100.69. I don’t know why they have such good reviews. Maybe they rent out books for super cheap, but I will never sell to them again.

Cheaper than any other local textbook service. Not a very nicely organized place (Im pretty sure Ive seen a cat chilling out behind the front desk) but all youre doing is renting/buying used textbooks, not a huge need for it to be fancy. Usually seem to get a discount for a local food place.

This place is fantastic! I used to work here, so I understand the system. They will almost always be cheaper than the schools books, yet the quality will be just the same (new is still new, used is still used). On top of that, the employees are super friendly. The process is painless as long as you return rented books on time. I dont see why anyone would rent anywhere else!

Great discounts on books!

I love Book viking! It’s close to campus and their prices are unbeatable! Also, if you want great customer service, this is the place to go!

Great place to get books cheaper than on campus.

Great place! The textbooks are in great condition and the prices are fair and balanced! The owner gave me some great advice for getting a job over the summer and overall it’s just a good place to do business with in my opinion.

Very clean, super friendly workers. fun knick knacks and things to buy and cute pets hanging around!

I love that I can get my college books cheaper here than at the University Store. Plus you can rent them and if you decided to buy them later you only have to pay the difference unlike the University store. The people working there are amazing too!! 😁 11/10 would recommend.

Book Viking might be a little walk, but they will save you money even if they only have one or two books for you to use. Ive always had no issues and quick visit there and I have saved over $200 on book Rentals.

These guys are pretty good, they know their stuff and have pretty good book prices. They also have all kinds of fun gem, sculptures, etc. for sale.

This is a great place to buy, sell and rent textbooks. I have never had trouble returning or selling books here, unlike the campus bookstore. As a perk, they offer coupons and vouchers for pizza or churros from local shops every semester.

This place is great! The staff are so great. Im always in and out in minuets. They find all the books you need for you on the spot!

Always a reliable place! They may not have every book up but you’ll save a ton on buying or renting them here. I come here every semester for my books

Very helpful and friendly staff members here. It is also quite affordable and convenient. I would definitely recommend coming here for your textbooks.

I had a very positive experience. It was my first time going to this place. It was highly recommended by a good good friend.I was honestly dreading going because of my previous experience at the main campus bookstore and boy was i wrong! It started with me being greeted by wonderful smiling faces telling me to regusregister. After I did so they gave me a piece of top notch top shelf chocolate like they know I loved chocolate! Simple and sweet they had my books and they where at least half the price if not less than Im used to. Highly recommend and will be back!

I have had 5 kids graduate from BYU Idaho. Book Viking started after 2 graduated. Book Viking saved the last 3 kids so much $$ and so many headaches. It is well worth going over to the book Viking to get your books.

The owner was so helpful and amazing. I was able to get and return my books quickly and efficiently. It was a truely wonderful customer experience. I feel like Ive ascended to enlightenment. There isnt anywhere Id rather go to rent books. In fact, there isnt anywhere Id rather be period.

I have loved working with book Viking! They have always had the book I needed and at a really good price! The workers are all so friendly and welcoming!

Theyre quick, easy, efficient, and a lot cheaper than other options. They also give free pizza when you turn your books back in! Love this place.

I have always used Book Viking for every semester Ive been at school and they are great! They always have what I need and are way cheaper than buying or renting at the school!

Loved saving money here. Either they don’t have the book you need or they are cheaper than the university. Great service.

Its a quirky little store that sells an odd mixture of geodes and second hand textbooks, but it sure saves me a lot of money on books. You can buy or rent, usually I rent and then if I decide I want to buy a book by the end of the semester, I just pay the difference, easy peasy!They have a wide selection (from history to engineering and more), and the books are generally in great shape with minimum wear and tear. You can also sell old textbooks there.Honestly, I dont know why anyone buys their books on campus when this is right here.Go!

Theyre really great in making sure they have the materials students need. I had a mix up, my fault, and they were willing and able to work with me on it. 10/10!

Super cool concept. Rented a scientific calculator for my Son. Saved me a ton of $$. Kind of quirky environment.

Great prices, fair return policy. The owner is willing to work with customers on returns and exchanges. There are also some beautiful butterflies and semiprecious stones available for sale.

Fairly quick service and way cheaper than the campus bookstore. They almost always have my books in, as long as I get there early enough because they can sell out.

This place has been amazing! The absolute best prices and AMAZING customer service :) will continue coming here for all my books!!

The books are so cheap! and the people are so friendly and nice and you get free pizza when you return your books! definitely get your books from here!

Better prices than anywhere and never had a bad experience!

Great place to get your books for school. Theyre friendly and understand the needs of a college student 😁

The service is great and the employees are really nice. I really appreciate the kindness of the employees. Overall great service!

I took my books in from previous semesters and they were able to take most of them. It was very quick and easy to do so. Employees were very kind and helpful

I love this place they are so great! And I love the cat! Nice people and great service and great deals!

The services are exceptionally fast, making my experience very quick. They only seem to hire incredibly friendly people, so I never feel awkward walking in. They gave me free pizza one time and that just made my day. There is also a cat that lives there, so thats a plus.

Very affordable prices. Ive gotten all my books here since starting school 4 years ago.

They have the best price for textbooks, way cheaper than campus. Their employees are super nice and helpful. They also have awesome rocks gems and minerals that are much cheaper than I thought they would be.

They have an efficient system for getting your books. Computers are available to print off your booklist from the school website, and an employee gathers your books for you (theyre all behind the counter) and sends you to check out. Cheaper than on-campus rentals, plus they have a neat cat.

Great place to rent books! They are cheaper than just about anywhere you can find (including on the internet). They also allow you to rent for the whole semester and then pay the difference if you decide you want to own the book. The employees are also very friendly and make textbook renting a pleasant experience.

Fair price for text books! Interesting store, but their prices beat anything else!

It was so nice! It’s way cheap and so helpful! Everyone was super nice and fun :)

I ordered a book from BookViking, It quickly arrived in great condition, However, I had to drop my class so I returned the book. My money was quickly refunded after I contacted Brian Abrams. I would recommend BookViking!

Great customer service, and the prices of the books are better than the school. I recommend !

I have been going to Viking Book Store since I was a freshmen, have always checked to ensure whether it, online, or the university store and always have been more satisfied with viking. Will be using it for the rest of my time here. I also like the staff. They are all great.

Will buy back for really low nut a good place to get texts

A small family business. They are all very friendly and helpful, including the cat. I think that the cat could be secretly running the business. They also sell crystals

More than just books. Check out there wild varity of fossils and Decor. They also have a Willd Cat named Thor you can become friends with.

By far the cheapest place to get books in Rexburg. Sometimes you can find better prices online, but rarely. The staff and owner are all really nice too!

Great staff, great finds! I went in to find some stones for my fiancé and they have an amazing collection at some really cool prices. The lady there even recommended a place to find more opals! Definitely reccommend!

I like book viking a lot. The people are always super friendly and helpful. And the prices are absolutely awesome. I save at least $50 from this store each time I go here (compared to what I would have spent at the university store). I always go to Book viking first before I go to the university store because they are always cheaper than the university.

Ive rented my books from here for a couple of years now ever since I found out the prices were cheaper than the university store prices! The service is helpful and super nice! Wouldnt rent my books from anywhere else! :)

This place is a great place to get books for school. The place is much cheaper than using the school to get books.

They have great customer service and I can get my books for a great price! I love going there!

Definitely go here instead of the University Store. It is cheaper and way faster. They have your booklist on the computer and they grab your books for you. Have used it for the past 3 semester and love it!

I love this place! Getting my books was simple and easy, and I saved at least $20 compared to other places! If you want a place with good prices for book rentals, go to Book Viking!

Best price for books in Rexburg. I’ve never gone anywhere else all my semesters. They have saved me lots of $$$!

Cheap books. Have pretty much anything. Usually not in great condition but they do the job
