Half Price Books

This is one of my favorite Half Priced Books stores as they carry everything from books to cds. I usually come here to dig for records and cds. I always find great deals and staff is attentive.

Sold books back yesterday, fair price and only 25 min. Today was a total different story. 40 min wait; watched my books be referenced and priced; watched the employee walk away without any notice to others that she was leaving; new crew arrived and couldn’t find my books «in the bin» and realized they were completed about ten minutes prior. Call me up as I was approaching and offered me 6 $ for 24 books. Only handed me 12 books back, upset I left then realized they had kept some books. Called as I drove back and was put on hold by an employee that was just going to leave me there until a manager pick up the call by mistake. Returned to get my books and told them I thought they were shady. Haven’t checked get my mind 6 hours later. Sellers beware!

Selection is legit and priced accordingly. Busy store so the selections get updated fairly regularly. Best half price in Dallas.

Selling here was total crap. I provided 5 – 6 hard cover current books (Wonder Women: sex and business; I am Malala, Lean In, Divergent, and two others) and my total was $ 5. I could sell each on Amazon for $ 5.
I attempted to sell magazines as well. Before arriving I called to confirm any limitations on the magazines. The woman said «no limitations we accept all magazines of all dates» upon bringing upwards of 30 magazines (all with past 2 – 3 months) I was told they only accept current issues.
Terrible customer service. While I was doing my exchange the man was talking over me and helping another customer. Hello? That’s no way to deal with a customer who is asking questions.
HPB will make a killing on each of these hard cover great condition books and I saw $ 1 – 2 for each. Ridiculous!

Great selection! Super nice people; spacious; relaxing atmosphere; and dog-​friendly! Their hours are great, too. Super place! They give you pennies for your books, though :(

amazing bookstore, reminds me of the Powell books in Portland. If you love books, then this is the place to come with new, used books of all kinds. The café attached is pretty good too so you can relax, work, read and enjoy the day while it’s boiling hot outside.

For the family, and I… this place ROCKS!!! We come with an intention of buying a book and we come out of this establishment with multiple style of books. It’s a place where you can spend hours just looking over their great selection of books, music, movies, and even odd games. And to top it off, there’s Black Forest Café which offers nice pastries, and great tasting coffee drinks. Making your time even much more pleasant as you chill reading your recently bought books. Man, I can just spend hours there just forgetting about the World as I engage in whatever book I’m reading.
I highly recommend this awesome book store!!! :)

My nephew loves coming here their comics are half off from price on comic. And my mama sells her old books and magazines here too. All cashiers are super nice. It’s a huge store love that they have a kid area.

We went on Sunday morning and people were lined up to get in at 9am! The café has a nice menu, plenty of seating and they serve divine Florentines. They’re sooo good! The store is quite large and the clearance selection is tops! The kids section offers books, videos, puzzles and toys too. Its a huge, clean store that we always enjoy. Plenty of parking. Im sure you’ll find what you’re looking for here.

Half Price Books makes book nerds feel cool, cause it’s a place especially for people of all ages who love books and music. This particular Half Price Books rocks like no other!
You will be blown away from the moment you walk in the door of this place for it is massive. It truly has something for everyone, from an awesome kids area with a huge selection of books and a really cool play house donated by Habitat for Humanity for the kids to play and read in, to my favorite, a section of one of a kind rare and autographed books. They also have a great reading room for adults and one of the most massive selection of books I have ever seen short of a library. Are you a comics fan? They got those for you too.
In addition to books they have a music section with albums and cds, a fun place to browse on a relaxing afternoon.
Hungry? They even have a little café and coffee shop called The Black Forest Café which is quite quaint.

It had been many many years since I stepped foot into this store. One day I had had about as much as I could take of work so I said, «Eff this place, I’m going to go troll that big ass Half Price Books.» I did — for 2 hours.
So many comics! So many records and CDs! And a damn good metaphysical section of books as well. I absolutely adore this place and do not know why I waited so long to go back. One of the best things about this store is how well organized it is. The topics and subtopics are clearly marked and things all appear to be in some order or another. I had a mental list of books and found all of them without having to dig. I was also pretty impressed by the sci-​fi/​horror dvd section they have and found a film that’s generally difficult to find and expensive when you do find it. It was a double disc with a Fulci film I already own, but for $ 5 you can’t beat it.
I’ve never been to a bookstore I didn’t like (except for Book People in Austin, bleh) and this one I can gladly say I will be a regular loving patron of.

Largest Half Priced Books out there. Huge selection, and they always have incredible discounts (yes, more discounted than to start with) on their DVD selection.
I have purchased about 7 TV seasons here for $ 3 a piece

Simply the best HPB there is in Dallas. Awesome in every way. So much space, so much selection and not enough time to explore it all it seems. I have a varying tastes in books, so I found great buys in the film, self help (yes I try and better myself!)and science fiction. I even met a pretty girl here. who I asked out. So a really great experience!

Friendly staff. Mass selection. Cheap Vinyl.
Certainly a place to get lost in.
Collector’s sections? yes.
Fiction sections bigger than most bookstores? yes.
If I’m not buying my books online I’m here. Every chance I get.

This place is like a dream. You can find books, vinyl records, CDs, DVDs, old magazines, textbooks, sheet music and a bunch of other really cool stuff at very reasonable prices. You can even sell your used media here and make a little cash. This is better than Barnes and Noble.
I never really liked the idea of used items (only child syndrome), but the books are in great condition, some are even new. I mean any type of book you’re looking for you will find here. There are medical books, psychology books, cookbooks, just everything! For researching a subject, I don’t know if you may always find the exact book you’re looking for but you will find one that’s close enough on the subject.

Holy mother of god.
Everything really IS bigger in Texas!
And here I thought HPB was an establishment with a few small stores in OKC, but no, it’s a chain and with an epic flagship to end all flagships. Upon driving up to the building and seeing the size, I squealed with excitement.
Inside, it’s all you know about HPB, but on crack. The selection is huge, the aisles seemingly never ending. I must’ve spent a good 2 hours in there, and I still felt like I had just skimmed the surface.
So if you’re in need of some inexpensive books whilst in the Big D, check out the Big HPB.

This flagship store is quite awesome. One could easily spend an entire afternoon here looking through the books. I also enjoy looking at some of the rare books they have in various parts of the stores on display behind locked display cases (Note: Their 20% the entire store sale applies to these rare items too — max discount up to $ 150 though).

For a book lover like my HPB is like an Eden… books galore and prices that make me wonder why on earth I’d want to buy anywhere else.
And, when there are sales going on? It’s just the cherry on top of an orgasmic chocolate cake.
What about the location? In the Northern outskirts of Dallas, this store is far bigger than your average HPB, there are shopping cart. And the store is divided into clearl sections. … thousands upon thousands of books to the left, to the right and anywhere as far as the eyes can see.
What more can be said about this store? There are many a gadget as well. Which makes this place a truly great store. So, if you happen to be in the area, make an effort to fibd this location and… Enjoy

This store is way bigger than I expected. The outside is huge but when you walk in its almost overwhelming. There’s rows that seem to go on for days. The place is set up beautifully. Very open without feeling heavy and cluttered. In the back is an area where you can sell books back. You basically bring them the books, they scan them then give you a dollar amount they are offering for them.
There is a café on site if you want to sit and read or study. They have a good mix of items from drinks to snacks.
The employees are so friendly. I was attempting to find something and rather than just point and tell me where to go, the employee walked me to the area I was needing. So helpful.
I would definitely recommend stopping in here if looking for textbooks, books, records to collect, etc. Theres definitely something for everyone here.

I LOVE Half Price Books. I’ve always been a big fan of any location I’ve been to so this one is no different. I have never seen a bigger Half Price before. This location is quite expansive. If you can’t find a book here then I don’t know what to tell you. They have it all! I really enjoyed my experience and even was able to make a few bucks selling a bag of books. My only complaint with the company is that they pay so little for the books. I think you should get more than 30 – 40 cents for a book especially popular and well-​kept books.
If you’re looking for a certain book or wanting to meander around a bookstore definitely stop in at this location. :)
