Nearing the end of a brief visit to Dallas recently--from Saturday afternoon to early Sunday…read moreafternoon--I decided to check out Josey Records in Dallas. To me, as someone who fits into the record collector/record dealer/cratedigger and DJ categories, visiting a record store I've never been to before is always an exciting or intriguing adventure. Josey has a reputation for being a good spot to buy records, so I am glad I finally went here to see what's up. Just looking around the store initially, I could see there are several areas in which the store could be improved or made more interesting. My first observation re: genre sections is that the signage for aisles could be more prominent. All of it is placed rather low, but at great record stores, you're never left guessing where everything is. You just find the music you're looking for more easily. With the massive volume of music releases in the store, I would like to see better curation of what's in stock. For example there were lots of Brian Eno releases, but not the ones I'd be interested in. For Parliament Funkadelic, there were just 2 Parliament 45s, but no Funkadelic and no George Clinton 45s. I thought that was weird. I was also looking for a famous jazz guitarist who's listed on the website, but the guy working the counter didn't even know who he was. Overall, I think the selection is decent if you are willing to spend time just looking through various sections, but there's no help on the floor--so you're just basically on your own. It kind of reminded me of shopping for records in a warehouse, but the warehouse I usually go to has much better curation. I should also state I tend to like smaller stores which get the mix of old and new releases more right or perhaps even focus on a certain niche. On a different note, in addition to music, there are lots of other cool things at Josey: a stage for performances, books, posters, tshirts and other ephemera. So, it is easy for music nerds to get lost here. Also, the parking situation is really good here, and I thought the service was good--the guys here are friendly, and one of them did go back into the aisles to look for something. Overall, I would rate this store a 4/5.

Used: here's the key thing... this won't be the largest used selection in Dallas, but - and this is important - these will be some of the most solid used records you buy. Everyone feels like it has been inspected and cleaned to be pristine as soon as you get it home. Really, every used purchase has been fantastic! Their rewards system is great, and the staff is fantastic. Easily one of the best shops in DFW

I have been shopping at Half Price Books for most of my book-buying life. I remember shopping here…read moreall through high school, and I've continued to shop here when I return to Dallas (my hometown) for visits. To sum up my review, Half Price Books ruined me for all other used bookstores. Since leaving Dallas, I've lived in 6 other cities. While some had some pretty decent used bookstores (others not so much), none even come close to HPB. It was one of the many things I took for granted growing up in Texas/Dallas. I thought all cities had stores as large and well-stocked as HPB until I left. Most cities (even large ones) just don't. I've been shopping at HPB since the early 2000s (maybe the 1990s, too), but it's been open since 1972, and this Northwest Highway location is the original - its flagship store. It's huge. In a world with fewer and fewer bookstores (thanks, Amazon), bookstores have also gotten tinier and tinier (some are about the size of postage stamps now, but I'm still happy to visit and support them!). Not HPB. This location is 54,000 square feet. 54,000 square feet!!! There's a coffeeshop (La Casita Coffee at HPB), a large community space (where they host signings and author events, live music, and a monthly game night), and tons of places to sit, read, study, etc. (I should point out that not all Half Price Books locations are THIS large. Most - and I've shopped at a lot of other locations across Texas - are still pretty large stores, but this flagship location is massive. Founded in Dallas, many - 37 - of their 100+ stores are in Texas.) The store is also incredibly well stocked, housing more than half million books and then tons of movies, vinyl, CDs, games, and other items. When I say well-stocked, they have more books than this bibliophile can even process, including tons of mass market paperbacks, rare books, art/photograph books, and more. If you're looking for a classic, they'll have 40 copies (I was looking for an anthology of plays by Eugene O'Neill with a certain play included when I visited this past Saturday, had had about 10 options - and that's for a play not included in the larger anthologies). If you're looking for something rarer, they still might have it. But it's also a great place to browse - to come not knowing what you want. On my most recent visit this past weekend, I left with 3 or 4 books - two I wasn't really looking for and 1 I was. I also grabbed a coffee with my family in the cafe. If you have books you need to sell, this is the place. There's an area in the back where they'll take your books and then you can shop while they review. Then they'll call you up over the speaker in the bookstore when they have an offer for you. Don't expect a lot of money per book, but it's a great way to pass along a book you're done with to get something new to read. I can't say enough about this location of Half Price Books. I've loved it for more than half my life, and it's still the used bookstore I measure all others against. If you love a bookstore, you simply have to shop at this flagship store.

I absolutely love this location and could spend hours on end roaming the aisles with my TBR list…read more Whether you're searching for a new title off the NYT's Bestseller List or one from five years ago, it's more than likely here. Music, games, DVDs and rare titles/collectible items have huge sections, as well. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly; especially those in the Buy Back area! There is plenty of quiet space tucked away for workday tasks or a quick Zoom meeting and you can even bring your puppy (on a leash, of course). There's an attached coffee shop for sustenance and nice, clean bathrooms, too.

Thank gosh another B&N is still open!…read more I was soo looking forward to heading to the magazine rack for updated items. I was not disappointed. They were nice and organized! (I bought a True West magazine) Lots of Books, videos, DVD's, and other great stuff!! Ravenburgers Puzzles and music are still options for purchase too. Not necessarily in that order. I love any book store! This one has a nice discounted section. I think that's where I end up 99% of the time. I almost always find one affordable book I can't live without. The medical section is pretty pitiful. Books in this section are dated and honestly pretty crappy. I have noticed that the majority of the people sitting around reading magazines are over the age of 50. In years previous it was 30 something folks. I guess the demographics of readers hasn't changed, I aged with them! Lol Reading books feels like it's becoming a thing of the past. Many people today appear to read books either on their kindles or not at all. I've always been a reader and love turning the pages of a book. A Starbucks is located within B&N. Nice touch! They do close down an 1 hour before the book store I'm guessing for clean up. October 2025

I mentioned in one of my reviews how the Denton B&N store has fantastic displays, well, so does this store. I am coming to realize that I prefer the older stores, as they really create the kind of child wonder I want my grandchildren to experience. And that child wonder is truly the design and layout of the store. I needed some assistance and the staff working there was truly kind to me and patient, as I had many questions. I will skip past three B&N stores in my area to go to this store going forward.
