When I'm traveling, I like to visit the local comic stores to see if I can find any back issues I'm…read moremissing. If you're interested in Sliver Age books, All-American is definitely worth checking out. There's a reasonable selection of back issues against one wall that are clean and well organized and a lot of dollar comics that I didn't have time to sift through. Big piles of trades on clearance, 2 for 1. But the main draw is in the display cases. Prime Silver and Bronze Age books, a lot of which look like they're VF or better. The prices of some of them are high, but they're accurate for those books in their particular conditions. A lot of stores will put the NM price on a book when the grade doesn't warrant it; none of that was evident here. I purchased a book from 1968 and it was probably priced a little bit below guide given it's condition. There was also a case with Golden Age books in the back, but there was a bunch of stuff stacked in front of it, so I didn't get a good look. So, I can't speak to All-American as a LCS, and if you're looking for that amazing find that's ridiculously inexpensive, it probably isn't here. But if you're interested in some neat books in great condition that are well graded and fairly priced you owe yourself a visit.

A very mom and pop feeling shop filled with a little bit of everything your nerdy heart could…read moreappreciate plus more! Prices are fair, lots to pick from! Check it out!

Great collection of books!…read more Will return again when I have more time to browse and find treasures.

Ever be of two minds about a place…read more One, you really want to like them, but then Two... knowing they're usually NOTHING like what their store title promises you? The second part is my problem with "Half Priced Books". (At least the one just off of 170. I swear I've been to their other location but remember absolutely zilch about them overall (not a good sign for writing reviews, I know.)). I've already seen other reviews who have pointed out "DO NOT SELL YOUR BOOKS" here.. and I understand every one of those reviewers. I overheard some offers for some -standard- books and .. I get making money and reselling, but no, this deal sounded like highway robbery. Not sounding too good so far, huh? or maybe I'm just a crotchety old man who hates seeing good books get ignored just cause they're not in our "market" today. Now: I will say this.. i'm a board game and tabletop roleplaying game fanatic (particularly Palladium books), and this is one of the FEW places that ever have what I'm looking for in my roleplaying Genre. (Yes, I will buy used books to complete my collection). But let's get back to the complaints: (usually I'm a lot nicer in my reviews, but when you blow it this badly...) Until not too long ago, when i picked up a min-book i needed in which the cover price was $19.95, and someone had to have brought it in and sold it to HPB, and _maybe_ got A buck or 2 for it. HPB Sticker price: $35!!!!! Yes, read that again folks... A "half price" book shop, charging DOUBLE what the original publisher (who was still publishing the book in question, was NOT out of stock, and could be found on their webpage for cover price + s/h). So which is the lie? The price or the name of the shop? Basically a store that lies to sell? 0 Stars... TOTAL. But I will say there are two things that are going in HPB's favor: There are some books there for reasonable prices (I'm an Asimov. Clarke, Heinlein fanatic (basically SciFi) and Sherlock Holmes and Agatha Christie. And I finally found a couple of copies of the later Foundation series I'd been hunting for, so I had to get them while the getting was good. And then board games: again next to roleplaying games I'm a board game nut! And there are more than a few good used games there, for instance I'm a Trivial Pursuit collector (a small collection, but a collection), and I cannot see putting a near RETAIL price on a board game that's shows itself to be 45 years old, and while in good shape, the container was showing its age. As for DVDs/Vinyl - Plain and simple, (while it's nice to see Vinyl for sale), if they have something you're looking for, again there's a problem in either the name of the store or their selling policy, because everything felt "near retail". (although I guess you can say they're not "Half Price Books & Music".) Take a better chance at a regular or used record store, for the music lovers of the world. So basically as I said at the beginning: Half Priced Books Is a place that I REALLY want to like them (and do have a couple of good points, (softback books and board games) but how do you give a positive review to a store that completely ignores their own name of their store? Sorry HPB I get the point, but 1 star is all I can bring myself to give you this time around and that's because I usually err on the side of generosity. (Probably because I'm still miffed about the "twice the cover price" book I needed?)
