Loved this place, so much to see, used books galore and other collectibles too! I wish I could have spent more time there but I was just visiting that city. Will definitely visit again soon!

Love Half-priced bookstore, always a great time shopping there. They have a huge variety of old records, video games, Funko Pops, and of course used books for all ages. I could spend hours just looking through the shelves and their cute book/merch displays. The coffee shop attached is a great place to sit and enjoy a beverage as well. Can't wait to visit again!

The staff is so helpful here. I was wondering around and a sweetie pie helped me find the memoir I'd been searching for then even gave me other recommendations. Very neat shelves and good vibes.

This store is absolutely HUGE. It has an enormous selection of books, music (CDs, vinyls, etc.), movies, games, and puzzles. The kids book area was absolutely full to the brim. In fact, it was VERY difficult to flip through the shelves because nearly every single shelf was stuffed completely full. I came here today to get some children's books, but I was shocked by the pricing. I could not for the life of me figure out how they were pricing the books. All the Dr. Seuss books were priced at $4.99 regardless of condition, but they're a mere $1 more brand new on Amazon. Definitely not even close to "half price". In fact, the more I checked prices on Amazon, the more astonished I was. About 80% of the time, buying the book on Amazon brand new would only cost you $1-2 more than buying it from this store. In some cases, Half Priced Books was charging $1-2 MORE than the cost of the book bought brand new. I only found a small handful of books that were ACTUALLY half priced, and I snagged them. However, the much smaller clearance section DID have some actual deals. Most the books in the clearance section were $1-3. That's where I got the most bang for my buck. Overall I was pretty disappointed. I thought I would save a lot of money, but this place should be renamed "Barely Discounted Books" or "$1 Off MSRP Books"

My son brings me books from here whenever he travels to a place where they have one. I wanted to personally go, so i made a little day trip to the nearest one(about 2.5hrs away). Absolutely worth it! Went a bit overboard(and over budget), but I just couldn't help myself. They have such great bargains! Going on vacation soon and am making it a point to add it to my list of places to go.
