The Stanford Bookstore is as impressive as the rest of the university. With a courtyard-style entryway and an expansive selection of merchandise, the three-level store is like a small mall. In addition to books and supplies, there are tantalizing displays of fun and interesting gift items. On the upper tier, there is a cafe with plenty of seating, restrooms, a computer store and Stanford apparel and gifts.
Stanford Bookstore ships worldwide and offers a catalogue for long-distance shopping. It partners with Apple and HP for its computer store products. Purchase of Apple software is limited to Stanford ID holders, though anyone may buy accessories.
