    First time selling in a while, I brought in 5 graphic novels and 2 hardcover novels and received about 15$ and some change in return. I looked around and found four paper backs one of which has a damaged cover, bent pages and stains. I love used books this is not the problem. The total came to about 17$ and I asked if they could make it an even trade or discount the damaged book since I had just sold to them. They knocked off 0.25 cents and made me get out my debit card for the additional 1.75. I only brought in my books to sell because I'm broke but I like to read, it was just a disappointing experience. I realize it's a business, I just won't sell to them anymore.

    This half price bookstore always has a fun assortment of rare or vintage books. Just make sure you conceal and carry. Bad neighbourhood.

    You can always find something to read in Half Price Books. I was looking for a specific book and they did not have it at one store. They found it at another store that was on my way home. The staff is always helpful and they love their work. It is not flashy and doesn't have a coffee shop but you can find books on almost any subject.

    I requested a book that had to be sent from another store , it came in within a reasonable time and it made me feel like I was at the library. I love that vibe. This half price books also pays decent rates for used books, music, etc.
