When you walk in it's jammed back with books, which is amazing to see. We only had time to browse the main room but I seen signs mentioning that there was more on the other floors. They had a large comic selection right when you walk in that's about all I checked out. I definitely want to come back and check out more! Looks like a place you can definitely spend time browsing.

It is an eclectic mix of over 100,000 books on every genre from books to comics to magazines. It was nostalgic to see a complete collection of Nancy Drew books, a series I read as a child. They also had a large area devoted to comics in the front of the store. If you seek used or rare books, this is the top choice to come in the area. The door is locked and you need staff to let you inside the store. There is a shared parking lot behind the store, which was very much appreciated.

It's surprisingly large, with a great selection…read more I went in a few days ago to get several kids books for party favors for a birthday party, and was really impressed by the selection. The books were in great shape and cheaper than other used bookstores I'd visited recently. It's like buying brand new books, but for literally half the price. I'm more than happy to give my money to this store rather than Amazon.

The cashier said she found a copy at the St Paul store but "it's at the buy back counter and it hasn't been shelved yet so I can't request it". I darted out of the store, making haste to SP before it hit the shelf and was bought!! I walked in, where the buy back counter is right inside the door. I excitedly told the fellow of my prior conversation. I was met with "She shouldn't have sent you over, there is a lot of places that it could be!" I didn't tell him "she wasn't stopping me". Feeling a bit defeated I had a seat while he looked for the dvd.... as I began to worry if I would have to change my noon oil change appointment? There he stood in front of me, holding out the dvd for me to take, as he said "here it is". I let him know "you are my hero!". Proceeded to the checkout where I told that cashier "he is my hero". She politely said "I hope you enjoy the movie!" So 10 minutes, $2.16 and two lovely employees later I was out the door. Thank you Half Price Books St Paul!! Day? Made!

I did not see any floor staff wandering the aisles asking if you needed any help... but guess that is the part of the experience; seek out your own finds!

I gathered that the goal is for it to feel like a scavenger hunt, and that you may find some unexpected treasures along the way, but my group found it kind of frustrating as it made it difficult to navigate. I'm a fan of the way bookstores and libraries are already laid out and didn't feel like that needed to be changed. The staff was lovely and kind though! I would return to explore their puzzles more, and did stumble upon a book by a favorite author, so all in all left happy. If you're a person who's open to the adventure of just exploring and being curious about what you may find, this could be a great place to visit!

Asked the store owner/lady DJing if she could just bring the speakers inside and/or turn it down and got an extremely hostile reaction. I don't like bashing businesses but we are a community and when someone asks politely to not blast your music through concert speakers with your doors open you'd think that would be understandable. She's says she needs to get people in, perhaps just a better selection or different advertising instead of forcing the entire neighborhood to listen to your music for 10 hours a day? Really sucks....

I'm not a model train guy, but am equally astounded by their selection and all of the supplies and accessories they stock for that hobby. Their selection of new kits is very deep and very well organized. The vintage kit selection is varied and reasonably priced. And bargains can be found in the back room if you know what you're doing. Staff is uniformly friendly; I am always greeted when I arrive. If I have a question or need help, it's always fast and efficient. if I just want to wander around and window shop, they don't seem to have a problem with that. This place is a real gem. A throwback to a time when shops like this dotted the twin cities. I haven't seen a shop like this since I used to shop at the old Moeller hobby shop in Robbinsdale. On the rare occasion I need something they don't stock, I will buy online. For everything else, there's no other shop anywhere who gets my business. This place is an absolute treasure.
