Our Story

Discover Our Journey From Roommates to Co-founders

SteinBooks started its journey in 2010 in a dorm room at the University of Denver, when three roommates recognized the challenge students faced in obtaining affordable textbooks. Understanding firsthand the struggle of balancing academic needs with tight budgets, they envisioned a better way.
After graduation, we rented an office in the city of Castle Rock, Colorado, setting up SteinBooks’ headquarters to better serve students nationwide. From these modest beginnings, SteinBooks has grown into a trusted source for quality textbooks, prioritizing affordability without compromising on excellence.
