About Us

We opened Jack Backers College Bookstore in June 2008 with two goals in mind--offering quality, low-priced textbooks, and providing superior customer service.

As parents ourselves, we understand the burden of financing college, and we work hard to make your dollar stretch further. We don't have high overhead expenses like the big bookstore chains, allowing us to operate leaner and more efficiently. We pass these savings directly to you through lower prices.

We also pride ourselves in providing the highest level of customer service. Today's marketplace offers more textbook choices than ever before, such as buying, renting and e-books. You can count on us to answer your questions and help you decide what option best fits your specific needs.

We also carry a full line of officially licensed SFA clothing and gifts, including brands such as Nike, Under Armour and Columbia. You can shop our online store 24/7 from the convenience of your home or dorm room. We are proud to be the official online marketplace for the SFA Alumni Association, and best of all, proceeds from your online purchase directly benefit the Alumni Association and its programs.

As alumni, we are committed to supporting SFA and its students. Each year we re-invest thousands of dollars into university scholarships and programs. We are particularly proud of the scholarship part!
