    I LOVE THE BOOKSTORE…read more They have everything. Office supplies (my weakness), gifts (both UofA themed and not, in varying levels of tackiness), a decent selection of cards, a pharmacy (with my favourite pharmacist)... oh, and books too. I can spend a lot of time wandering around in here, choosing notebooks and pens. Lately their selection of whiteboard markers has been pretty bad though (if you care about that). The best item they've ever sold? The Butterdome butter dish. Apparently other people don't agree with me though... they've got a big stack on for $1 and they still can't seem to get rid of them.

    If you're a U of A student, or were one in the past, you probably hate this place. It's where you…read morehad to endure incredibly long line-ups just to give the university more of your money. Been there, done that. And now I'm here to say, it's not all that bad. I still think that the U of A is like every other college bookstore, and hikes up textbook prices disgustingly high. Photocopied course packages can also be just as expensive, only you're not getting the book covers with it. C'mon, you can't tell me copyright is that high right now. I'll let you in on a secret: I was a total advocate of getting the books from the library and photocopying them myself. Saved me loads of money. After all, we're students, not bank accounts. So the infamous bookstore (also housing the Microstore and Health Sciences bookstore) is located on the lower level. The entire store is pretty big, with a students pharmacy and gifts section on the main upper level. Practically everything has the U of A crest of course -- men and women's clothing, mugs, clocks, pens and stationary supplies, backpacks ... the list goes on. They also have fun gift items like jewelry, stuffed animals and dolls, and some Christmas decorations. I also saw a rack of winter Crocs. Yes, that's right, winter Crocs. They're pretty much the same as the regular version, only they're lined with fleece so that they're actually slippers. Oh my god, will the Crocs never end? These hideous things keep popping up everywhere. It's like they know they can't survive past summer so they have to figure out a way to haunt us in the winter too. I'm glad I no longer have to worry about buying textbooks, cause they really are expensive. I can just come here now to pick up neat little gift items, or U of A memorabilia, when I'm on campus and have nothing to do. Unlike the books, the rest of the merchandise is reasonably priced.
