For the tourist or a visiting NYU family member, the bookstore provides an incredible variety of merchandise emblazoned with the NYU logo, from beanies to shot glasses. There is also a selection of books that are not textbooks, though I would recommend that if you are looking for those you go to a store that focuses on them rather than on promoting its brand. For the student, I strongly advise that you look into other sources for your textbooks, because, unfortunately, textbooks here are as prohibitively expensive as they are at any college bookstore. Don't be afraid of ebooks and PDFs, they cost less and you can take them anywhere.
