Half Price Books

Don’t sell your books here. A joke. Carried in 4 large boxes of hard backs. After waiting over 30 minutes, offer us 5 dollars for over 150 books. Knowing we didn’t want to carry the heavy boxes back out. Won’t ever do business with them again.

Bookstores are fun, inspiring, and calming. This is a great bookstore! Movies, music, books, games, stationary, magazines. If you love to read or browse this is the place. Never been to a half price bookstore that I didn’t love.

This is my favorite book store. It feels much cozier and intimate compared to large bookstores. I like coming here because you never know what kind of «treasure» you’re going to find. I’ve stumbled across rare books, collectibles, and even a computer game that would have cost me over $ 200 on amazon. With Half Price Books price and a coupon I got it for less than $ 100 out of the door. The staff is also very helpful and knowledgable, especially compared to other larger bookstores.

The store name should be changed to Full Price Book Store. Most of what I was looking for was at or over regular price. Some of the employees are lacking is social skills also.
They had one book priced higher than you can buy online, even with shipping it would have been the same and you would have a new book.
I will not shop there anyone longer.

I enjoyed this location, but it’s easy to miss since the road next to it is so busy. I was able to get a Physics textbook for $ 5! I tried to sell a book here though and that wasn’t a great idea. Only wanted $ 3 for my book but they offered only $ 1.50. :(Great to buy, not so great to sell.

Sold them some movies (all of my gangster films) sold them some books too (books i didn’t think i’d get a return on) and got a few duckets for the merchandise. Surely they get offered more books than can sell. i looked in their stock room and it is a library of its own, so i didn’t expect much in return.
Can’t hate the book selection, especially when they’re marked down tramendously. They only shelf books in presentable condition, so if you’re ok with the content then its a sell. Lest i fail to mention that their vinyl section serves them well. Not that its all the tunes i enjoy listening to, albeit a small selection, they sell records! i don’t visit as often as i’d like b/​c i try to read too many books at a time; i can hardly help it as a victim of the TV generation which is why i read to de-​frag all of that mess from the tube.

Worst place to sell back books. The excuse «we have a lot of those» doesn’t
hold water if you only have a copy or two on the shelf and any copies you do have are only slightly cheaper then Barnes and Noble. The prices at Half-​Price are becoming more and more expensive while the price they are paying for books they buy from their customers is getting smaller and smaller. Nope, used to come here on regular basis to sell books and DVDs but no more. Would rather donate than contribute to this scam.

Okay, this is place is awesome. I’m a TOTAL book fanatic, and I always seem to find something great. This place sells magazines, young adult fiction, children’s books, manga, even video games and records. They have an absolutely astounding science and computer section. They also have board games, and basically everything that Barnes and Noble sells, but cheaper. And get this: they give you cash for books. They might not give you a ton, but hey. It’s cash. For books. And last I checked, nobody else does that. So, all in all, I give this place 5 stars.

Great store. I can always get lost in the Memoir section… but it took me forever to find it! Mostly well-​organized, good selection, and the employees are helpful. I’ve sold a lot of books here, and while it doesn’t seem like I get much money for them, at least it’s something! They do have to make a profit, and their prices for the books I’ve bought are pretty fair. Now I try to look for a book here before Barnes & Noble… I’m an book lover, so the addiction gets expensive! :)

I always find some good records at this HPB. The other few I visit never have anything good, but from some cosmic reason I find some great indie, classic new wave or punk records at this store. I love it! Never disappoints! Check it out!

This Half Price Books is a bit out of the way, but a solid location. The store seems to be a bit on the suburban side, somewhat akin to the Pearland store, but as an older location there tends to be a bit more eclectic. I’ve found the history and business sections to be better than average, but the art section could use more local trades.

My favorite place to buy books… Any books… I bought my planner here, bought CDs & DVDs here, bought magazines here, bought most of my vampire novels here too… lol I have lots of novels, like 3 trunk-​full of them… Never been dissapointed with this place. The employees are nice & give good reading recommendation.
I’ve sold my school textbooks here, sold my magazines here… They give a good fair price. The process is easy enough. Bring the stuff you want to sell, they’ll review it & give you an offer. In the end it’s up to you if you want to sell it to them or not.
Their new release walls are comparable to barnes & noble or other book stores. Ofcourse the books aren’t brand new, that’s why they’re wayyy cheaper… Sometimes you can find some brand new stuff too here. They also have lots of stuff for kids.

Gotta show lovin’ to this place because the moment I walked in, I was smiling. It felt cozier than the other monster bookstores right away.
I immediately knew I was going to find things I liked.
They have a hefty selection of stuff, and the prices are off the chain.
Nice employees too, which I am always in appreciation of.
Very surprised it doesn’t have any more reviews, but I am staying positive.
People will read again!

I love books, but most of all I love losing myself in a good story. I’ve been buying a lot of books lately due to a bookclub I joined. I started buying my books at Borders and Barnes and Noble, but that has stopped. I have found a reader’s Utopia (at least for that reader’s bank!). I have been to this particular store a few times and I love (love!) the sales section! Let me just say that I purchased a book at Barnes and Noble for $ 26 and my sister got it at Half Price Books on sale for $ 1!!! Omg, I felt like screaming! Those people cheated me out of $ 25 dollars (it was like a year ago though)!!
Now, you may wonder how are they able to do this, sell these books so cheap?! I shall let you in on their business strategy: They buy new and used books and resell them to you. Yes, that’s the trick! I personally don’t mind buying used books as I did it anytime I could in college (and saved me lots of money!). I 100% recommend this particular store. I found the book I needed for our next meeting and paid $ 5.93 after tax! How I love the sound of my money not being spent! Half Price Books, I think we’ve started something special here!
