Half Price Books is a concept that needs to be on your list! My wife and I love to stop by and spend some time perusing through the different genres and seeing what has come in recently for our favorite authors... and all at half price (or less) of the original pricing. Even cooler, if you have books lying around or even old DVDs... bring them. They will buy them from you and then maybe the books you pick out will have a place on the shelf at home! They go through everything you bring in quickly and call you over the loud speaker with your offer. Great store! Great concept!

For several years, I have shopped at this store off and on. During my most recent visit, I saw a good selection of merchandise on fully stocked and organized shelves.

This place was an utter disappointment. I did hear from some residents that the chain has a mixed…read morereputation around the city. What's mixed? Who likes it? It was mostly organized, as in things were labeled and in generally the right area, but not really. Mostly I was annoyed by the selection. Whenever I travel, I visit a bookstore. All the books were oversized, so they won't travel well or easily. The selection was meager and it wasn't quite textbooks or books even books worth buying. The prices are too excessive for book quality and selection. Nothing amazing about this place, except maybe location?

We stopped by on a whim around 10pm on Saturday night and there were way more people there than I…read morethought there would be! They have a fairly large selection of used books and records with many tall bookshelves. You never know what you'll find there! A staff member asked us if we had been there before and we said no. He told us that they have a buy three get one free deal and on Saturday nights they have free beers and seltzers. I didn't end up buying anything because I was a little overwhelmed but all the options (you could probably spend hours in there!) but it's a fantastic option and I like that they were open until midnight on Saturday!

They had a good amount of books but I was expecting a lower price for being used. They actually had the book I wanted for virtually the same price I could get anywhere else, as I'm writing this review I checked online and it's significantly cheaper now than it has been. I guess that's the price of supporting local business.

Their biggest selection was obviously mystery books but they had some fiction, cookbooks and children's books as well I appreciate the diversity and inclusion in the children's section.

I ended up just getting a birthday card for my friend as I have too many books and not enough space but I'd go back for gifts, stickers, candles or the vibe itself

This place is great--the selection of pay-what-you-want books is really interesting, and the second floor is filled with an eclectic mix of books, from religion and philosophy, to medicine, to poetry, to geography-specific books. I always like to peruse the medical books, where you may find a new(er) book about updated technologies, or old hygiene guides from 1921. I never know what you're going to find when I go, but I'm always happy with my visit. They do have an online system that allows you to search for specific books, but I've never used it. The people who run the shop are nice and always happy to help. I will definitely be returning in the near future.
