This is a pretty good book store to go to if you are in the need for something to get someone at temple in a hurry, otherwise i wouldn't go here just go to Drexel B and N!  I went here to get a gift for someone really quickly when i found out that i forgot their birthday.  got a nice calendar and t shirt!  Great cafe in here too.

Love it.

Everytime i go to temple i stop here because they have excellent clearance and good coffee. they also have a good magazine isle which tends to become a mess because people are always reading htem.  drexel doesn't have that so i look forward to catching up to all the mags when i go there.  they have a great cafe and it is not ever too crowded so get a cup and enjoy your stay!

Overpriced

Temple's bookstore is WAY too expensive to shop at. It's very hard to get temple gear because it's that expensive. You're better off looking at other sites to find better prices on temple gear as well as textbooks/supplies.

The Bookstore tends to be very helpful but gets really crazy in the beginning of the year when classes first start and at the end of the year when you have to return books for buyback which is the worst because you get less than 5% back for the book you bought. On ebook I bought was close to one hundred and I only got like $10 back......

Bring lots of money...

The Temple Bookstore is hidden downstairs in the Howard Gittis Student Center.  When it comes to buying textbooks, this place will murder your wallet.  Sometimes they don't even have the books you're looking for at all.  Don't even bother trying to sell books back here either.  You're better off selling them online or just donating them.  They also have plenty of overpriced Temple merchandise as well.  It's surprising that the Barnes and Noble nearby has better deals on Temple clothes than this place.
