East Texas Baptist University will soon transition its campus Bookstore in the Bennett Student Commons to Texas Book Company (TBC), bringing a unique blend of products, affordable course materials options, and support for University faculty. The newly renovated Bookstore will officially open on November 19, 2021.
“East Texas Baptist is excited to partner with Texas Book Company to provide an expanded inventory of apparel and gift items that connect and promote our University community,” Dr. Blackburn said. “We chose Texas Book Company as the University’s new retail partner because of its commitment to personal service, advanced technology, and support of ETBU’s distinctive Christ-centered campus culture. Texas Book Company is based in East Texas and understands the unique needs of a Christian college community.”
TBC has a range of college clients across Texas and the United States including the U.S. Naval Academy, U.S. Air Force Academy, and Texas A&M University-Commerce.

We are excited to bring our personal service approach to the ETBU campus community.
