Half Price Books

I LOVE … Half Price Books! If I could not say more. That is basically the premise of this review. I’ll start with the staff. I don’t think I’ve ever walked into a place where every time I go the staff is smiling and friendly. The diversity of the customers is pretty darn impressive too. There are tons of parking spaces, and it’s close to shopping (which is perfect for picking up a book to read while also people watching). The prices are phenomenal and I’ve always found exactly what I was looking for (and several surprise buys as well). If you haven’t checked out this bookstore. I highly recommend it! Cheap cheap cheap books !

Sign up for the sales!!! Omg they send out 50% coupons all the time. I go and get games and other items for super cheap that way all the time, but that’s about the only time I go to the «bookstore». Great place tho

Half Price Books is pretty good. And there are lots of books here if you’re going to college nearby.
In addition to books they have lots of video games for sale. Even a clearance section for video games.
And they can order anything online for you if it’s not in the store.
There weren’t too many Master’s level books in the store though.

Love this place. I mainly use it to sell my unused books, CDs and DVDS. They don’t pay a lot for items but it’s a great way to get something for your stuff. They have a huge selection of used books, and very competitive prices. They also have a good selection of vinyl for you record lovers.

Inexpensive with a large children’s section. A great place y to get some books in the cheap, with lots of other book related items as well.

Pretty sweet place. I like stopping in here and perusing. There’s a whole lot of great deals on things that would be much more expensive other places. I buy my cards here in bulk, for birthdays and other occassions. It’s also a good place to purchase gifts. There’s a lot of neat little gift packages for very decent prices. I never have, but you can sell second-​hand textbooks and electronics here too. The staff are not too sociable in my opinion, but are polite enough. I don’t get a warm fuzzy from them, is what I’m saying.

We stop here once a week, great prices and a huge selection. You can find some great deals in the clearance section too, $ 2 per book. Why spend an arm and a leg at a regular bookstore?

Exactly what they advertise to be. They offer a pretty good selection of books. I picked up a travel guide for half price.
Be sure to check the copyright date and/​or edition number to get the most up to date books.

Man do I love this store! When they say half priced books. they are not kidding. Sometimes even more than half off. I got 3 books for $ 14…one of those books would have been $ 25 at a regular bookstore. Speaking of regular bookstore, why ever go to one again? Between Amazon and Half Price Bookstore there is no need to ever pay full price for a book… you would seriously be crazy too.
Anyways, they have a huge selection of a lot of the popular titles. Check it out, you won’t regret it.

This isn’t your usual «Used Bookstore.»
I’ve neglected to write a review for this place because when something is really good, I hide it for fear of increased competition from other consumers. But, since I’m moving out of Ohio soon, I’ll let you in on the secret.
This place has an assortment of used books at ½ price, or lower. They are usually in Very Good to Like New condition, and mostly recent titles *INSTEAD OF* of used books published in the 60−80s like you see at a normal «Used Bookstore.»
You also sell your books here at around 5% the list price (guesstimate). Since the supplier is you — the customer — there are all sorts of interesting books. Last year, I was able to pick up a collection of five European culinary books (Pastries, Desserts, Fish, Meat, Poultry) that showed me how to cook exotic recipes that I had never seen before in Ameica. It was very beautiful.
I come here mostly for the textbooks — math, history, science, health, medical, english, business, etc. — for deeply discounted prices at $ 7.98 each. If you are a lover of learning, you will truly love the textbook selection here. Sometimes, I can find textbooks that I use for my university classes here too — but some of the recently released ones are priced at online prices ($ 40).
They also have PC games and PC software (teaching you Microsoft Office /​Photo editing, etc) for ~$ 2 – 5. In the back, they have magazines (Vogue, animé, military, etc.) in stacks that change weekly, priced at $ 0.50…cheaper than any place you can get at a retail store. They’re also in good shape too.
As I said again, because the supplier of the books are customers, there’s even non-​English books such as Japanese manga, Japanese literature, Japanese language learning and other language books (German/​Chinese/​Spanish/​etc.).
They have a CD section, leather journals, and an antique book section.
Now here’s the secret since you read my entire review: At the very back section of the bookstore, there’s a «CLEARANCE» aisle where they have books for $ 2-​$ 1. These are usually popular and quality books from recent titles, such as TWILIGHT, Better, SATs, YOU on a Diet, Life of Pi, David Sedaris, textbooks, cookbooks, art books, etc. in Paperback/​Harcover.
This is what defines this book store in my opinion. If it wasn’t for this little section, I probably wouldn’t go every single week for my lust of textbook purchasing.

This was my first trip to a Half Price Books location — wow! They had it all! They offer products for sale, but also will purchase items for trade. Not only a huge selection of every genre of book, but they offered computer software, CDs, DVDs, comic books — even a large selection of LPs. Most of the records I saw were less than $ 2. I couldn’t purchase too much as I was flying back home, but if I lived here I would definitely be a regular!
