From Google reviews

Went here to check it out despite seeing some of the negative reviews. The people leaving negative reviews expect a sterile Barnes and Noble experience. As an eccentric book lover, it was an amazing experience. It is unique and authentic, full of books and antiquities.

In previous years, I've avoided The Book Cellar as it was dark and unorganized. I'm happy to say there have been great improvements! There's two ladies working now that are doing a great job making the environment cleaner, more organized, and safer to walk around.

Interesting bookstore located on a basement, with a wide variety of books and comic books. I loved the SciFi section, but they also have plenty of books in other genres, including: fiction, history, politics, children books, cooking, crafts, sports, and many more. They also sell a variety of collectibles and antiques.

I dropped by The Book Cellar recently for the first time. This shop is located in an actual cellar in downtown Temple. The shop's vibe and underground location reminds me of places I have visited in New York City and Chicago. There was a wide variety of books, vinyl, comics and memorabilia.
