University Book & Bean is an independent, full-service bookstore, coffee shop, and Wi-Fi hotspot located near the campus of Murray State University in Murray, Kentucky. Our goal is to provide you with a comprehensive selection of college textbooks, novels, magazines, children's books and much more-all in a welcoming and comfortable environment that's never short on flavor. We have books for every age and interest, and we're serving up new titles regularly.

In the market for textbooks? Like our blended drinks, we hope to provide our customers with the perfect mixture of buying and selling textbooks. Our textbook inventory is second to none, and our new books are cheaper than you expect. We also stock used textbooks to help curb the high cost of buying new. We work diligently to ensure that we have the right books on our shelves, and you can rest assured that you'll be getting the right book-and at the best price. And unlike many other bookstores, customers can sell back their used textbooks to University Book & Bean year-round. Our buyback program will earn you more cash than our competitors, and we want to prove it to you and earn your business.

And while you're here, try an excellent cup of The World's Best Coffee, courtesy of Crimson Cup. We have many varieties of hot and cold drinks from vanilla lattes and blended drinks to fruit smoothies and hot tea. Whether you're in dire need of an early morning wake up or simply want to lounge in our oversized leather chairs with your favorite drink and a good book, you will not be disappointed by our selection and service. Give us a try, and we guarantee you'll be hooked on more than just our caffeine!
