Book prices are amazing here, though. I have trouble understanding how they stay open with prices so cheap. If you don't care about customer service and want cheap books, I'd recommend book warehouse.

I was really excited to see Book Warehouse in the Outlets of Des Moines. The store is fairly large…read moreand has a lot of good books. However, I did not see any any newly released books though. A lot of the books were 60% off and because I had a coupon for the store I was also able to get an additional 20% off one item. I purchased a book that was retailed at $27.99 and after all the discounts it ended up being less than $10. What a great price! Much cheaper than Amazon too! Service was fast and friendly here. I'd definitely recommend any book lover to check this place out.

This is a cute little bookstore, with a coffee shop. While we meandered most of the stores, this…read morewas by far the busiest one. The staff was attentive and helpful. While there wasn't a depth of books on any particular topic, it seemed all the topics were covered here. And if you want advice, it seemed the other patrons were all friendly enough to share their favs with you. There are several small niches to sit and read, or people watch and enjoy your beverage. This store had a very welcoming and open vibe.

I was hesitant to come back after my last experience, but since I was just getting something to go,…read moreI gave it another shot. The young man working the counter was really friendly. I lingered by the books as I was waiting on my sandwich. I don't know if it was an owner or a manager, but a man came out and started talking to the person at the counter very disrespectfully. He was yelling at him about how they weren't doing the money and payouts right, and they're missing a ton of money everyday. Then he started yelling at him about the orders they had been placing and how he was just doing this and that wrong. He wasn't giving the kid a chance to talk and kept talking loud over him. It seemed very inappropriate to be having this happen in front of a customer and it made me feel really awkward. I got my ham and egg bagel sandwich and the ham was still kind of cold. They have a good selection of books, but I will not be back.

This has to be one of the worst "Used" book stores that I've ever walked into. "Half Price Books"…read morehas always been highly thought of by members of my family. I've always been told it's the place to shop for used copies of books at good prices. So I thought I've swing by today and give them a once over. I honestly couldn't be more disappointed by what I saw and what I was told by a staff member. (Here's just one example) They were selling a used Hardback copy of a Warhammer 40K novel (Belisarius Cawl) for over twice the retail price of when it was released. They wanted $55 for a used copy that retailed for $27 when it was released in 2024. (major red flag) I asked an employee if he could show me where they keep their Warhammer 40K paperback novels as I've had a few on my want list for awhile now. He showed me a very small collection (3-4 books) of paperback books. When I asked him why they had so few I was told they kept them in back since a lot of them sold on Ebay for between $50-$100. He then asked me if I wanted him to go look in back and see what they might have. I told him not to bother, if I wanted to pay ebay prices for a "used" copy of a book I wouldn't have come to their store. And truth be told after walking around for a bit longer I quickly realized that this place isn't anything close to a "used book store" where you're going to be able to find a fair price on a used book. This store also places giant barcode stickers directly onto the covers of nearly all their books. If this place wants to charge "Ebay" prices for all of their used books go ahead and close down your storefront and stop trying to fool the general public into thinking they might find something at a good price. They're not. After leaving the store I've concluded this place should change their name IMHO to "ripoff books" as it seems more appropriate given my experience there today.
