Bought the second half to a set of manga I had been collecting and the man at the register was so nice and friendly! He was so helpful and even gave me extra coupons to use for future purchases when he saw I was using my boyfriends! Wish I saw his name so I could shout him out!

I’ve been coming to this location since I was a child, and it’s always the highlight of my visit to Columbus! It’s so fun combing through the used books and finding treasures. The staff is friendly and the store is very clean/organized.

Half Price Books was such a fun and enjoyable place to visit. The moment I walked in, I felt surrounded by that cozy, book-lover kind of atmosphere where you can tell there’s something interesting in every corner. The store is well organized but still has that treasure-hunt feeling, which makes browsing around really fun. I found myself flipping through shelves longer than I expected because there was just so much to look at. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, answering questions and offering suggestions without being pushy at all. They genuinely seemed to enjoy talking about books, movies, and everything else in the store, which made the experience even better. It felt like the kind of place where you’re welcome to take your time and explore at your own pace. I ended up finding a few great items for really good prices, and everything felt clean, well taken care of, and worth what I paid. Whether you're looking for books, records, movies, or just something unique, it’s a great spot to check out. Overall, Half Price Books is a place I’ll happily return to. The atmosphere, the friendly staff, and the huge variety make it easy to spend time there, and you never know what cool find you’ll come across. It’s definitely worth stopping by if you enjoy discovering new things or just love being around books.

Best book store ive ever found! Everyone there is so helpful. If you need anything they will find it, if they dont have it they will order for you and ask if you want it shipped to your house. They also take in your old books if you have any. Great experience! Definitely going back. Give yourself time to go through the store as there are so many books. They also have an online store. Have fun shopping and reading everyone.

This is my first time at Half Price Books in Upper Arlington, Ohio, and I am so impressed!! The bookstore is quite large and visually pleasing. When I arrived, I was immediately greeted by a staff member who was happy to help my find the book I was looking for, upon my request. One of the books I wanted was at another location nearby, so it was arranged to have it transported to my local store to arrive in a few days. Finally, since I am a teacher, I was able to receive a 10% discount on the true half price already given! I highly recommend this store and I will be back for sure!
