They have books of all genres, so if you're looking for something special, you'll find it there. The mom and daughter duo that work there are extremely helpful and friendly.

And their prices are amazing. I highly recommend!

Bookstore, coffeeshop, and gift shop all in one. In what looks like a refurbished home. Every room was uniquely designed. I loved the the wallpaper in the coffeeshop room. Great store to peruse for treating yourself or for gift giving. And a bookstore with a pretty good size collection and categoriesfor it not to be a library or chain store. I was pleasantly surprised to see a black history month display of book, how inclusive. They also had a kids corner area. And there was what looked like a book club group chit chatting in the back. Lots of little nooks and space both inside and out. If I lived in this town I could easily see myself making this one of my fav places.

I've decided to explore the city's used bookstores. It seems we have quite a few, and I wasn't…read moreaware of many of them. Nine lives books was one of them. It is located in a strip mall off Fredericksburg, and it won't be found unless ones looking for it, which I was. It is not a very big place, but it does have a lot of knickknacks, including an impressive collection of stickers, bookmarks, and vinyl records, to name a few. It actually is a pretty neat place. The books are used and for the most part they're very reasonably priced. They do not have an inventory of the books, so you do have to look through shelves, if looking for a particular title. And their staff is only one person at the cashier. Which is to say that you can browse to your heart's content, and discover some major reads. They also had quite a few boxes of books that were under one dollar or $.50. This is one of those places that I intend to return to, because of pricing and to support small businesses. I truly recommend visiting this place. It makes for a fun visit.

They have everything here!…read more Out of all the Half Price Books in the city, I think this is the one I've visited the most. Even though it's slightly smaller than some of the other locations, there's a ton to see in store. While the book selection is good, they have a hefty selection of movies, games, music, and collectibles to peruse through as well. It's pretty easy to find things in the store, but there's staff readily available to help if you're having trouble finding something. Give this place a go the next time you're looking for a summer read or something for school!

Although I support used bookstores, and appreciate them being available to us, half price bookstore…read morehas notoriously been terrible at buying books from people and that's how they actually stay in business... they buy books from people. I brought in 15 books today and I got five dollars and while that may not sound too bad, I shop here enough to know that they will eventually be marked at eight or nine dollars a piece. I love shopping for recycled, thrift and used items but this is a slap in the face to their customers and it makes me not want to buy anything from their store.

My favorite Barnes and Noble!…read more The location is pretty big and carries everything you could think to ask for, including merch beyond books. Sprayed edge favorites and current picks, manga and danmei, Legos and puzzles, a Harry Potter section, you name it, they probably have it. If they don't, it's super easy to have it ordered for you. It's never difficult to find a staff member if you need assistance as they are constantly restocking shelves or checking in with customers, and the layout of the store itself is easy to maneuver. No floor to ceiling shelving units that block your view. I can't recommend this Barnes and Noble location enough. It's one of the best ones in San Antonio!
