More organized

I've been to both this location and the location at Crossroads Mall. This place is by far more organized and spacious. I am usually able to find what I was looking for here. It's great to browse, a...

5.0 of 5 stars. A good used book store. Like any used book store, the selection is hit and miss at any given point in time, especially if you are looking for something special. But overall, a good selection and very...

Yelp.com Review - by Ariel S.

4.0 of 5 stars. I love half-price books, but it concerned me that when my dad and I asked them where the cut came out of (ie, who's making less from these low prices? the author? the publisher? the distributor?),...

Bookstores are for browsing

I've always loved 2nd hand bookstores. Where else can you hunt through the shelves and find that book you've been seeking in an almost new condition for half the price?It's cramped, you can't alw...

Books for Half the Price

I love books, and I love them even better when they are half the price. This bookstore isn't as new, clean, and shiny as some of the full-priced bookstores, but it usually has what I'm looking for, an...

Another option

They do buy books, music, software and games - but don't expect much for them unless they're a popular item. There's a wide variety - some sections are much bigger than others. Great place to find children's...

Excellent for Children's Books and more by Michelle Q. at InsiderPages

I frequent Half Price Books because I give children's books as rewards to my kids for major and minor accomplishments (staying dry at night, being good at the store, etc.) I would go even more broke if it...

Outdated and Too Jam-Packed

In the old days, i.e. pre-Amazon, Half Price Books was a good deal. But in today's day and age, I'd rather stay at home and buy online. This bookstore is cluttered and it's hard to find anything. T...

If you are looking for a book on a particular topic but don't have a title in mind this is a great place to go to get a good deal. Some books are overstocks that are still new. They also buy...

Great Prices, Wide Selection by Lynne O. at InsiderPages

I love this cramped, value oriented location of Half Price Books. Like the rest of the chain, they have excellent prices and I have been espeically impressed with their rotating large-print selection.

This place is as big as a Barnes and Nobles, but way homier (no Starbucks, though). This is a great place for a lunchtime browse. They've also got a great selection of half price video games and movie...
