In the past I have ordered books, dvds, etc if they had it available at another location and it comes directly to the store. The location is in a great shopping center. I find myself more interested in the toys and used dvds than just books. During the holidays this is my favorite place to get my stocking suffers.

The customer service here is great! And, there is a large variety of textbooks, fictional books, board games, and stationaries to choose from. If you desperately need a book and cannot wait for it to come online, this is the place to go. Selling your books to half-price books is a different experience. You have to go into the store expecting to get nothing in return. However, even when you expect nothing, you still may leave disappointed. Think of half price books as a donation box, and you may or may not get $ 0.25 for your book.

Great store! The employees are kind and pretty knowledgeable & I love the cheap reads… One thing I have to mention is they used to be equally good w/their cd section, but last time I came here I noticed a lot of their cds have been what they call ‘resurfaced.’ this means the CD looks like they held it up to a lathe for a few mins. No bueno. I had about 60 cds to turn in that day & they said they’d only pay for about 10 of them, they’d have to ‘resurface’ about 20& they wouldn’t take the rest. The ones they wouldn’t take had a few hairline scratches on them(no exaggeration — I’m super picky about my cds, so I have to desperately want it to buy a scratched-up one). I had never had a problem buying & selling here b4, or at any other ½ price, so I took my cds back, went to humble & got $ 175 for them. I will still come here for books, because each ½ price has a different selection & I have unique & eclectic tastes. But… I won’t be visiting their music section. It’s a shame, too, because I’ve found a lot of rare items here over the years.

How do bookstores still stay open? With everyone switching over to kindles and other various ereaders? There’s one word: teachers. My friend’s fiancé is a teacher and we stopped in here with her to get some supplies for her students. They have a huge discounted classics area. It was like a stroll down memory lane. I’m glad bookstores can stay somewhat relevant. Nothing like flipping actual pages instead of swiping across the screen. Also there is a 10% discount for teachers!

Great place for books both new and used and to recycle your old gently used books, CD’s and movies. Good for kids and grown ups.
