For UTD students like myself, Stanza Textbooks is a great place to pick up your books at the beginning of the semester. The staff is friendly and helpful, and their prices are competitive. They've got a large selection of books available on their website. Not much more you can ask of a textbook store.

I live in Houston/ Texas and have rented a book. It was good and helped me in my semester very much, but now I want to mail it back but didn’t know the real address to mail it back. Can you please let me know the exact address to send it back.
