    A snapshot of the store
    Louie N.

    I personally only come here when my husband wants to otherwise I rather pay full price than support this spot. They never speak to us upon entering but they will speak when they are taking your $$$. Their prices used to be decent but if u are a good shopper u can beat their prices. They have a decent variety of merchandise otherwise the staff are rude, selective who they speak to. I only gave them 1 star because of their inventory and some pricing.

    Found the selection to be larger than some of the others it was easy to navigate thru out the store clearly marked. All Covid protocol was being followed all staff and customers with face covering.

    This Half Price Books is my favorite. Others may be bigger but the people and great organization here is why I don't visit other locations anymore. The store is located within a large strip center with a huge parking lot. Parking is never a problem, even on weekends or the holiday season. Upon entering, the used book counter where you drop off your old stuff is immediately on the right side. The folks who run the trade-in counter are always friendly, fast, and extremely knowledgeable. Some things you bring in may be worth nothing while others could have a greater value. Your turned in stuff is taken as a whole lot and the offer they give you is for everything. The store is clearly labeled and finding what you need is quite easy. If you need assistance they have plenty of associates stocking fresh titles in for sale and every associate is quite knowledgeable on every part of the store. The children's area is fairly full and also offers some educational toys and activity kits. One area I didn't spend much time in until recently is the music and DVD area. I've purchased a number of CD's and movies and all discs have been flawless. I don't have access to a record player but their library of vinyl is one I'd love to explore as some have never been released on CD. I really enjoy this specific location and have no plans on switching spots.

    $2 each....score!

    I haven't been inside a Barnes & Nobles in years. I saw…read moreBarnes & Noble is offering a featured book of the Month deal for $5.00 upstairs at their cafe. You must make a coffee or bakery purchase any order to get this deal. This location in Oakbrook offers a wide selection of books, magazines, games, music, and gifts, you name it. A cafe that serves coffee, tea, bakery items and snacks. This bookstore is spacious. I like that you can pick out a book and find a quiet place to read. Very organized and easy to browse around and locate your favorite topic sections. There are so many book titles throughout the store. A nice place to come and pick out a good book or grab a magazine and sit back and enjoy the quiet and chill atmosphere. If you have any questions there are plenty of workers walking around willing to help. Even though it was busy and alot of people walking around. The atmosphere was still calm and peaceful. Go online and sign up for upcoming events and book club meetings.

They did have the specific children's book I was looking for, However, the customer service person was on the phone for an incredibly long time. I don't mind that it was taking so long ~ but maybe acknowledge that you realize I am standing there or ask the person on the phone to hold on while you verbally acknowledge my presence. Bright and open. Oh, and the door that opens into the mall is actually the back of the store.
