The Book Cellar, Temple TX

There are so many books to choose from! The owner was very nice and helped us with what we were looking for! There's also a wonderful little store kitty that loved to be picked up!

So many awesome books! I love this bookstore. The owner is very knowledgeable & helpful. Will definitely be going back - often.

Awesome place, it's filled with tons of antique books I haven't seen since I was a kid. The lady that runs the shop is really sweet.

Super cute bookstore with loads of books and collectables from all genres! The owner is very sweet and will guide you to anything and everything you could want. Whether driving through Temple or there to stay, The Book Cellar is a great place to spend time!

This place has been there forever. I remember going there back when i was in elementary school. It was the early 80s. I may just have to make a trip back there. I'm out of state now, but went to high-school in Temple back in the late 80s.

Rude staff made me feel like I was trying to scam them when I insisted they honor the price on the book.

Every single time I go to this little bookstore I have a haggle with the lady at the front over the price they themselves have on their book/s. If a retailer refuses to honor a marked price as The Book Cellar almost always does you can complain online at the Texas Attorney General's Office of Consumer Protection or the US Governments Consumer Finance Protection Bureau as I intend to do.

So let me first say that I love real books. Books I can hold in my hand. One of the things I didn't really care for is that on the older books or even some of the other books they didn't have prices for them they had to Google them. And you know if I go into half price books they have markings. I didn't really care for that. I will say that there is a lot of books in that store.it's a little chaotic but there are a lot. I do believe that the community should come together and you know even if you buy one book at 10 bucks or a couple of books to assist with keeping a brick and mortar bookstore open that's what should happen. My only advice would be to have pricings already on the books or bookmarks with prices on them especially for the really old books so that there's no guessing game. I collect really old antiques books, Maps, you name it. And the people were really nice as well

I just now got to visit this place and I instantly fell in love with the store, the people and everything in it. SO MANY BOOKS! I was in awe with how many old books were there and not just books but really epic memorabilia too! I ended up getting a bunch of TTRPG miniatures and a signed photo. I really hope this place stays open.

Waited an hour passed their opening time. Nobody came. Called and nobody answered. Everything happens for a reason. Perhaps they're simply not good people and I would've had a worse experience.

Under new management and ownership, staff is working hard to organize the books and other items. The staff is very friendly and helpful, and I found several titles to purchase. Highly recommended.

Do you love the smell of old books? Do you enjoy lounging around the house reading a classic book from your childhood? Do you enjoy playing some D&D with your buddies? Then this is the place for you? I've been going here since i was a child. This place has everything from CDs & DVDs from comic books to car repair manuals. From TTRPG books to minis. Collectors might find something they need to add to their collection. Art. Toys. Signed photos. I've even seen a local author do a book signing once. Walk down into a mythical and magical place called The Book Cellar.

The refurbishment is going great! The Book Cellar stays open late during the city of Temple's "First Friday" -where parts of downtown become walkable streets with live music, food trucks and beer stands. This store is awesome, with great science fiction and history/world sections. Old books and new titles. Buy a gently used copy for way better prices than you'll find at Barnes and Noble. Figurines and certified signature collectibles, sports and nerd stuff. One of my Top Summer Beat the Heat locations for sure.

Really nice people own this place. There are a TON of books to choose from. They have anything and everything from comic books, bibles, dvds, and trading cards, to autographed pictures of celebrities. They even gave lollipops to the kids. They're really knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. If you're a book lover, you should really check this place out!
