MacEwan City Center Campus Bookstore

As school bookstores go, this one is pretty awesome. I think it is really well laid out and the selection of text books is always pretty full. They also have a great selection of school supplies, MacEwan clothing, mugs, ipods etc. They also have some really beautiful journals, stationary and pens.
My one complaint about this store is the staff. I have found that they are not very helpful or knowledgeable and that can be very frustrating when you are a student, frantically looking for a certain textbook. I have been told by a staff member that they have a book, and then found out they didn’t have it, and the opposite has also happened.
Like the other reviewer said, you can save a lot of money by buying texts and novels on Amazon. Just be prepared to wait and then spend a good chunk of time catching up on the readings you missed while you were waiting for your books to be shipped.

This is MacEwan’s largest bookstore, and it’s located at the downtown campus. It’s a very nice store, and they sell a variety of items like textbooks, novels, clothing, stationary, ipods, computers, and gift items. The computers and other Apple items are discounted for student, so that is cool.
In my first year, I was naïve enough to think that the College bookstore would offer the best possible prices on textbooks, but I was way wrong. I later discovered
, where I got many textbooks and novels for a lot cheaper.
MacEwan’s bookstore also sells used textbooks, and this is a good option, but I’ve often found the brand new versions on Amazon for the same price. The bookstore will also buy your books back at beginning of each semester, but they give you so little back, it’s almost not worth it at all. I’d suggest trying to sell it to a student directly using the Used Textbook Registry.
Most of the gift items at MacEwan’s bookstore are pretty expensive, but they will often have sales. I’ve found some nice stuff though, like I bought my friend an eyeglass cleaning cloth that had a picture of a famous painting on it: very cool.
I’ve b ought quite a few MacEwan brand items, like a keychain, a mug, and a shoulder bag. I guess I just want lots of things to remind me that I did indeed go to College.
