The owner is a really friendly lady, immediately helped us with what we needed. I was really surprised to find a lot of cooking equipment out here including a pressure cooker.

I went to Half Price Books with three gym bags full of books. I was cleaning the attic and took the…read morebooks to create space at home and get some money in the process. I only got $25 for the books I brought in. To make it worth the effort I'll have to wait to until I have a rather sizeable load to take in. Making room in my house is a good enough reason to take my used books to Half Price Books. Getting money for my used books is icing on the cake.

One of the two main Half Price Books locations I visit (Vernon Hills being the other one), this…read morespot provides a reasonable spot to sell old books while being able to buy lightly used ones at a discount. The book trade in process here is fairly easy and they are able to appraise books quite fast, though the values aren't super high -- though on the flipside they pretty much take any books for trade in. The shelves and displays are well maintained, and you can find lots of interesting and unusual books here. This is also a good place to look for some lightly used board games and refresh yourself on new editions or different variations of these games that might be as obvious when shopping elsewhere. The checkout process is fairly quick and friendly as well and there's plenty of parking right outside the store. Just be careful of the traffic pattern in the shopping center, particularly around the Asian grocery store as people tend to drive a bit fast within the lot.

I visited this store because I didn't want to wait for Amazon to deliver the book I wanted…read more I was surprised at the variety of books they carried. They are bit more expensive than Amazon but I love the Starbucks coffee shop inside that offers quiet space to work & sip. The Starbucks coffee does not accept Starbucks gift cards or rewards. The books are wonderfully organized and they offer unique and beautiful gift options. They also have board games, Puzzles and leather bound journals. I will definitely be returning when I need a place I can go to focus.

Not many B&Ns left so it was nice to visit this one. They are very clean and well organized and their books are all neatly "faced." The price of hardcover books has gone up exponentially so we didn't end up purchasing any actual books but were able to find cute cards and journals. It was nice to look around all of their sections and what they have to offer ! It makes sense since physical books are a dying art and have to markup prices since sales are lower these days.

There's clothes, food, makeup, toys, electronics, art supplies and more. The employees are relatively friendly, though they tend to be in the never-ending process of stocking product. Thankfully, the tariffs have not seemed to greatly impact the standard pricing here, so we'll be back. Love that the checkout is self-service. It would be miserable to wait in a checkout line here.

I will always support small businesses, but I'll never be back to this one. It's a shame because…read morethey have some great records! However, in the sensitive world we live in today, I don't think it's ever appropriate to tell a customer that you don't care if the president gets killed or doesn't... that's where I draw the line. Regardless of political views, I was not expecting to spend my afternoon hearing about it when asking if they had a specific item. I was going to leave this be and move on with my day, but it ruined my whole day. I never post reviews, (I had to download yelp just to leave this reviews), but I felt the need to say something. In a world so unsure and so broken, I walked into a record store to clear my mind. I left with stress and confusion. I guess I'll continue buying my records online instead of supporting this small business. What a shame.

That being said, online stores and digital/eBooks are becoming more popular and far more affordable, which makes in-store experiences even more important! It's rare that I visit textbook store for the sake of saving money on textbooks but I needed one textbook only printed and sold through the university. After coming to terms of my "luxuriously priced" purchase here's how it panned out! The staff is friendly but not in-sync with the services they offer. My first visit for the semester was for a textbook that was out of stock during that visit. I was informed that I can pay for the textbook that day, provide my contact information and receive a call once the textbook arrived. After proceeding with that process and waiting for 3 weeks I had to explain to the professor the circumstances I was under and make accommodations for using the book. LUCKILY!! another student who had just experienced the same situation and overheard the conversation with the professor and informed me to stop back in to the Bookstore, as they had too after not receiving a call with the last batch of books that were offered. During my second visit, I was informed that the textbook I needed still wasn't available. So I decided to look where the book would be located and I found one copy left and approached the service desk again with the copy I found. The associate let me take the copy I found instead of waiting for my the copy that I still wasn't available. Again, great and friendly associates but inventory management and follow up are poor for the prices (textbook prices) we pay in these purchases.
