They also have a great selection of magazines, special gifts for the book lovers in your life, and I always seem to find something good in the clearance area. The staff is helpful in finding whatever you're looking for.

So mad and upset will never shop here again! will get all future books from Amazon!…read more Back before Charlie Kirk was Assassinated I heard him talking about his up coming book about the Sabbath "Stop in the Name of God!" at that time I wasn't fully sure if it was out or not so I came into the store for it. when I couldn't find it I found a worker to ask! she was early twenties brunette and was friendly at first, but the moment I told her what I was looking for her demeanor changed. I could tell she was judging me but at the time I didn't care. She stated it wasn't out but I could preorder it, I said yes please gave my name, phone number and email and asked if I could pay for it now. she said no I had to wait till it was in, I said ok thanks and thought I was good! today I went in to get my copy and what I was excited for became aggravation quickly! I was told I was not on the list for the book and that my information wasn't even in their system. I told them no I was in here months ago and talked to someone who was rude but that I gave her all my information. they apologized and said they didn't have a copy for me and that they are sold out, they also couldn't say if and when more would come out. The two ladies today were nice and took my information again but I'm so aggravated that my personal views were not just judged by an employee but that she pretended to help and then no one could rectify it! I will be ordering my copy somewhere else and telling anyone who will listen this store is not to be trusted and to shop elsewhere!

Half Price Books is the best place I take the books and media as you thin out your collection…read more (Dunaway Books and Hammond's Books have failed to return communication and Left Bank Books' hours don't work for me.) That being said... you get very little money for what you bring in. Much less than other used bookstores offer. I know the stores need to make a profit. I don't expect that the inventory will get 30% of the asking price. But 20% or even 15% would be nice. Am I getting that? I think not. At Half Price Books, you don't know what you're getting for each item. How it worked in the past: Bring books to the counter. Wait to be paged. Return to see 2 (or 3?) groups of stacked books. Staff make a point of saying "These are the books we want. Those are the books we don't want." The "don't want" group is larger most of my visits. Staff offer to donate/recycle (read: trash) the books for you. Formerly (early 2020s) you could take accept the offer on the wanted group and take the donate group to your preferred nonprofit. How it worked about year ago: Though staff have your books separated into different groups, the offer is on all of the books, including the books they will donate/trash. Once the books are on the counter, you can't take a single book back without refusing the offer. You must take all the books back. A staff member told me that if there are some books I want to take elsewhere, I should put them in 2 different groups so I can have different offers. Hmmm. How it works now: You can't take any of the books back, even if you tell them in advance. Staff say they won't tell you which ones are the wanted/unwanted though after their review, the books sure seem to be in different groups. When you ask about this, they say this has *always* been the policy, and that they only deviated from it during the covid pandemic. (Then that was not *always* the policy, was it?) I imagine the books groups are something like of: sell here, sell at a different HPB location, donate, trash. If some of these books are going to be thrown away or donated, why not give them to the owner? It should be less work for the staff. So it's imperfect. This is as good as it gets for people hoping to unload of a few hundred dollars brick-and-mortar resell value in books for a little cash. Shopping here: I rarely buy books, journals, games, media and the other items sold here. When I want to buy something particular that I think will be here, Half Price Books is one of the places I shop. Buying a used book locally by a company that is based out of state is still better than buying from Amazon. I can usually find some books to bring for them to review while I shop.

Im talking hot fresh everything popcorn, pizza, burgers, hotdogs, and more. New school old school gifts and bbq. Whew! Its so much to see and buy we stayed in this store about 4 hours or more. Im talking about juice, cake and pies hot fresh goodies. Wait fountain drinks ahhh. Its like a gas station on steroids mixed with a candy shop but hot fresh food. Expect anything everything but no rides. It was 32 of us total and everyone left with several bags. All of the ladies loved it. Its been a week since we all piled in for the birthday shopping and I still have bags of cotton candy and cookies in my refrigerator. The brisket bbq sandwiches was my favorite. The pink strawberry lemonade cake I enjoyed that to. We all stood in line for the fresh cooked popcorn. The kids liked the cat in the hat books. The toys with the little ones was exciting to see all the kids grabbed a toy and a book. I noticed my husband had a huge fresh healthy salad I think it was a chef salad but it was big enough for like 3 people to eat.

There was also a book section, which we picked up a lot of options for our little one to enjoy for less than $3. We will have to come back again to look at rugs for our bedroom.
