    Love half-priced books! Always a reliable way to find the title you are looking for, great variety, often multiple print versions of the classic or graphical book you're looking for.

    Always love used buy/sell/trade bookstores, and Half Price is one of the biggest and best. I can spend 30 minutes and easily come out with more than I can carry every time, without breaking the bank. They have new books too if you're looking for that. I love to look for other books by authors I know, as well as check out the staff picks and randomly browse to discover something new. Just love it! Interesting tip though: If buying a used book that there are multiple copies of, check the price on all of them to make sure you're getting the best one, because they are not always the same even when in similar condition.

    A good bookstore. My family found a few good things that they really liked. It was hard finding different items But overall, it was a good experience.

    I went to this Half Price Books location and was greeted by Ryan. He then patiently helped me find a long list of books. Ryan was very nice and helpful! Highly recommend this location due to friendly staff members and wide selection of titles.
