For people who don't know how to navigate the school premises well enough with the aid of the map, it is located opposite the Unilag Faculty of Art (which sits close to the Senate Building). The Bookshop contains a lot of good books written by prominent authors and lecturers. And also stationeries and other items can be found there. The only flaw I took note of when I visited there, was the lack of arrangement and easy access to those books. They are not well placed in sections and can not be found easily. Also the bookshop does not provide for most of the books written by lecturers of the school. The prices are a little hiked also, if you ask me.

  • Adedolapo Ogundeko

This is a home for all kinds of stationeries and accessories like markers, sketch books, teaching aids, charts, pencil cases, beautiful diaries, notebooks, pens, textbooks etc. Unilag Bookshop also offers for sale quality t-shirts, tote bags and sports bags. It is a few blocks from the senate building and can be easily reached by the campus cabs from both the 1st and 2nd gates of the university. POS machines are also available for people who prefer to buy stuff with debit cards. The bookshop is open from Mondays to Fridays. And open for a few hours on Saturdays too.

#bookshop is in the university of Lagos.it is a very big bookshop.here you can get all you need concerning books.they have good stock of books for all the disciplines.this mega bookshop have also encyclopedia, journals,periodicals for students consultaions.The attendants are there to guide the students in picking the book of their choice.they have parking space ,wheelchair access and both electronic and physical security

  • Dawodu Adeyemi

The bookshop is well stocked with series higher educational textbooks but more efforts are needed in the area of stocking of latest and current texts. In addition, there are some academic disciplines textbooks (examples, no textbook on succession planning at all and no foreign textbook on the industrial relations) that you won't get there. The bookshop management should look into this as well.

  • Isaac O.

It's fairly decent. Books are stocked but don't expect to see all books you're looking for. Parking is very much available, no accessible entrance however. Before you enter into the bookstore, you'd be required to drop your bags and belongings in the locker for security reasons. Once you're done shopping, you can check out and have your belongings back.

  • Mitchell Eze

It is funny its a school bookshop, but you rarely find book that are relevant especially as it relates to the engineering field. More books need to be acquired to help give the place a facelift because rather than student relying on their school's bookshop for books as they ought to, they rely on external bookshops. This is not too good.

  • Fabeku Pelumi

I went to get a post utme past question, from the security to the sales lady, they were efficient and very respectful and also they answered all questions appropriately and gave me time to look through till I found what I wanted. To get books or post utme past question or past questions in general, UNILAG bookshop is the place for you.

  • Paradise Orabiyi

There is no way you will not love this place. A beautiful view of well-arranged books in sets of shelves in a very spacious, yet well designed and clean building. Finding the needed book is easy as there are tags for different genres and types of books. You will definitely love it here. UNILAG students are lucky to have this bookshop.

  • Yewande Agbaje

The bookshop serves the University, Secondary and Primary schools in the campus. Some books are more expensive than open market and I believe some will be less too depending on the publisher and supply. It can save one the stress of searching round for a book but one should or may compare prices with open market to minimise cost.

  • Divine Favour

I wanted to buy a textbook but if I purchase it I would not have transport fare again. so, I purchased a lesser one but after I called my sister some minutes later she decided to send me additional money. So, I went back to return the book so I can purchase the actual product I want but to my surprise they did not collect it.

  • Timi Idowu

Is a very big place with a lot of books different products from different writer you'll find the book that you need there if you want to buy a box they will sell for you on cash or credit card you can also borrow then return it back on a small discount offer you can try it it's a fun place I actually like buying my book there

  • adewoye OLABODE

This University of Lagos Bookshop. It's situated inside the school campus. Books on Operations Research, Statistics, Mathematics, Management, Art, Medicine, etc of local and international authors are available. Both cash and POS are available for payment. Reasonable space is available for car park.

  • Farouk Ade

This bookshop has been standing for a very long while. Not so big, but you can get a couple books here. They di not take orders, only walk ins. The building also houses ecobank, a pan African bank. It is currently not open due to the coronavirus, but will be open as soon as that is over.

  • Brnc

The bookshop does not adequately represent the status of the school. It's a university for crying out loud. I've seen small town bookshops better than this in the southwest. The bookshop in "Notting Hill' (the movie) has more books than this place. Very dark, gloomy and dusty.

  • Olusoji Adekoya

The bookshop is located within the University of Lagos Akoka. The bookshop is stocked with varieties of book cutting across different field in order to serve students studying different courses in the University. The books are affordable.

  • Kazeem Ibrahim

This is the best book shop in Yaba area let's go there to see what you want, I am looking for one book for many years I did not see it but when I go to UNILAG I see all the books try to go there you will see what I am talking about bye.

  • Christabell Amiadamhen

I mean u go there to get books....nd they give it to you so its pretty much what it is. There are couple of other offices attached to the building nd they'd be happy to show you where it is. Like the post office, Ecobank etc

  • Ayilara Adekunle

This rating is fair. I don't know if it's being tailored to meet the yearning of the university's community and even it is, it's still not different nor better than a regular bookshop in your locality.

  • Eno Akarawak

Has a lot of literature books and novels but lacks in student textbooks. Stationary is well-stocked though with various types. Large accessible parking space and friendly attendants are bonus points.

  • Kayode Adesina

The road to the bookshop from the University entrance is very good. The bookshop environment is superb. Inside the bookshop is also neat coupled with the arrangements of their books and stationery.

  • Okwoche Ebinyi

I'll say because they are recovering from a renovation four years ago. They have limited books, for a university bookstore. And they don't really give you the best kinda customer experience.

  • Adewonuola

For a bookshop, in a University you would except this to be more aesthetically pleasing and contain a variety of books, the options are limited. Although there is parking space available

  • Oladipupo

Decent bookstore, spacious and usually very quiet. Catalogue doesn't go past recommend text from the University a lot of the time. Prices are accurate, and the attendants are polite.

  • Kehinde Adeyemi

There are loads of books that can be gotten from there and it's not only books that are being sold there, but also souvenirs, t-shirts caps and any other thing you can think of

They have updated and current academic books and developmental books. Either you're preparing for exam, you can get the book that will make you excel here

  • Overilaye

It's a book shop located inside of Unilag and I feel their items are a bit to pricy, one would expect that since its inside a school it would be cheaper.

  • Theresa Afolaranmi

Got nice and required things but they need to update their pricing system. The bookshop is housed in the same building as Ecobank and the post office.

  • Philip Chukwueloka Obih
