The store has many items you cant find anywhere else in temple including coins ,autographs scifi memorabilia ,wiccan items ,Christian items , comics and yes Confederate items and to the gentleman who complained about them you need to actually pick up a book and read it. Those same items were carried at walmart till a year ago before they gave into pressure from other people who had no idea there meaning. They stand for heritage to a lot of people and they deserve a place to buy them just as much as people deserve a place to buy Christian books and wiccan items.

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...
Read moreThis place was a 0 STARS if I could. This place is just too many things going on like first off this place in on a corner of a building downstairs to this very small stinky staircase. Second this place was filled with a lot of stuff. I felt like I was in an episode of Hoarders, there is literally no room for you to walk, no organization, it stinks like piss. This place made me super uncomfortable. I didn’t even know why I made such a long drive to give this place a shot I live in austin and this place being in temple was just too much.
