Half Price Books

The group of people who work here are so kind! My younger brother has autism and loves coming here to go through DVDs and books. What especially catches his eye though are, not the bookmarks, but the book mark tags that are placed behind the bookmarks containing a number to identify them.
Employees know him and always let him pick one of these «number book marks» each time he comes in and if he isn’t with someone in our family they let us take one home to him.
It’s the little things we appreciate so much! Thank you to everyone who works at this location for accepting J’s differences and going above and beyond to make him happy!

Very good selection and well organized. Staff could be friendlier though, especially at the buy counter.

Very nice Half Price Books location. The shop has a good selection, and the staff is very friendly. I had an especially good visit to this store because a nice employee introduced me to the wonders of Half Price Books system locating and shipping over a book. We were visiting in search of a specific book, which they did not have in. However, the cashier was able to search the entire system of HPB stores and locate it out in Texas. She was very kind about calling over and getting the condition and pricing of the book and then having it shipped in for us for a fee of $ 3.99. It was great to learn about this option, and her assistance was greatly appreciated. I would definitely visit this location again.

Half-​Priced books is the place for people who love to read. My favorite thing about this store is the unique and interesting selection they always seem to have. I often find rare/​hard to get books here, which always surprises me. I’m personally in love with the foreign-​language section — they always have some novels/children’s books written in the languages along with books on learning.
I’ve bought and sold books here and have yet to have a bad experience with either. They buy books, games, DVDs and music. It’s a great place to sell your books when they are going for less than $ 10 on Amazon.
While the prices are usually very reasonable, I recently saw Secret of Mana (a Super Nintendo game) here for $ 40 — not sure what that was about. All the other SN games were going for a dollar or two each.

They have a really great selection for being such a small place. Not just books either but movies, games and music too.
The prices are always way better than the bigger places, so with the exception of Amazon they’re my favorite place to pick up new reading material. The staff has always been friendly & helpful as well.
If you can, take some books to sell. They give decent pay for them and you get a bit more discount on whatever you buy.

Brought in a bunch of books over Labor Day weekend, managed to use the money and the 20% discount they had to buy another book — good thing there is space on the bookshelf for it now!
The staff was friendly and helpful, and even rescued a leaf I had pressed between the pages of a book and returned it to me :)
The wait seemed like it took a long time, but I’m not complaining, there are lots of books to browse while you wait (You have to stay in the store while you wait, and what else are you going to do then read more books? And most likely find another one and buy it! Talk about an epic marketing scheme!)
There were books everywhere, but it was orderly and easy to get around and see all the books that were available. There were a few chairs here and there, I sat in one while waiting for my books to be totaled and to find out how much I could get for them.
Its nice to have a place to bring books to when you can’t sell them on Amazon! Much quicker and less hassle then doing all the shipping and wondering if the book will sell for enough to pay for the shipping, especially when there are so many books on the market they are all only worth pennies!
Its also nice to go there an find inexpensive used books to read. A wonderful way to reduce, reuse and recycle!

Great place to go and kill time when you need to, decently priced books & DVDs too, and if you can’t find what you’re looking for you can always ask and they can look on their computers!
In addition you can also trade in those old books collecting dust that you don’t plan on re-​reading old DVDs VHS tapes records and video games and old iPods and game systems!
Super friendly staff too
They’re always willing to help you locate books… And MAJOR bonus here, if you have A LOT of books/​such in your car they’re very willing to help you out by coming out to your car with one of their carts to help you unload your haul!

If you like to read and you don’t like to spend a lot of money, this is your mecca. Since it’s mainly second hand books, it’s sort of hit or miss as far as selection goes. If you’re looking for formula fiction (romance and sci fi) you’ll never be disappointed. If you’re looking for lit, don’t feel disheartened if what you want isn’t there. Just go back a week or two later. (insider tip: go when the school year is ending, all the students will be selling their books)

I’ve always been a big fan of Hal-​Priced Books. If you’ve been to one, you’ve pretty much been to them all. The only difference between each location would be the workers & the selection of media. That being said, the workers are great, everybody seems to be friendly & helpful. The only reason why I gave this location three stars is because the somewhat lackluster selection of Vinyl & Design books, which are really the only things I’m interested in at Half-​Priced Books.

Very nice place, good prices for some good books, the only issue that they could use a larger cd section.

Like a budget Barnes & Noble or Borders… mixed with independent book giant Powell’s (in Portland). If you have not gone, go. Cheap new and used stuff, plenty of things to look at and covet. :-)

Wow how can no have a written a review of this place! In a strip mall in the burbs you will find a huge selection of used books, CD’s, vinly, DVD and what ever else media someone took into selll. While you get paid cahs for anything you bring in, you will not get rich. The fun is in the search not the sell!
