Half Price Books

Our family loves this location. As other reviews have said, if you go in looking for something particular, they might not have it. But they really do have a great selection of items. This has turned into my go-​to spot to just look for something different.

What can I say about this place. They have everything that I was looking for. I love ready and this is the place to visit. The employees are very helpful.

I came early on a Saturday morning to sell books and buy a new one. They gave me a cheap amount for the worth of my books (but this is not a surprise) I have sold books at HPB before.
I didn’t wait a long time for the book sell and the employees were helpful and friendly. I would come here again if I needed to purchase a book.

I haven’t found a hpb I don’t like. If they don’t have what I am looking for i find a book I didn’t even know I needed! Staff has always been courteous and pleasant.

First stop to find books on summer reading lists. Found several. They have free face painting instore today. Come in!

This is a nice book store. Nothing wow-​ed me but the staff was very friendly and knowledgable. The selection was good for a used book store. Would come back if I were looking for something and happened to be in the area or perhaps would buy some inexpensive children’s books.

My favorite book store to just walk around and browse. It’s pretty hit or miss to find exactly what you’re looking for but they have a great variety of books, hard cover and paperback. It’s also easy to find older books at a low price than at the bigger retail stores. Great place for gift ideas for all occasions.

I love this store for unusual gifts at reasonable prices. They have a great buy back program and the kids section is well stocked.
They have a great selection of novelty and retri items and notebook/​journal/​sketchbooks.
The best part is that everything is so inexpensive. So if you’re on a budget, this is the place for you. I buy VHS for my kids since they ruin DVDs.
But since it’s a mostly secondhand store the odds they have what you’re looking for, book-​wise, is ⁵⁰⁄₅₀.

This is my go to place for books before I go anywhere els I call here first the best prices and good variety.

Half Price Books does not disappoint!
After seeing good things on Unilocal,I made the drive out here in hopes of finding a new used bookstore, and man did I find one! Along with a great selection of reasonably priced books, they also have an awesome selection of vinyls! As well as DVDs/​CDs/​VHS and all sorts of other things. Overall, the store was laid out nicely, the staff was super friendly and it has the type of environment where you can just sit and read and take your time. So if you need some reading in your life, definitely go check out their selection!

I live in Spring and go to the Veterans Memorial location on a monthly basis. Since Half Price Books is for the most part traded in materials, each store front is bound to be full of vastly different things. I went to this one for the first time today and felt like this one was by far better than the one in Spring. The PC game collection in particular really caught my eyes with some hard to find gems like Fallout 2, The Saboteur and many more. The very friendly and hard working employees are bound to do whatever it takes to make your visit worth while. I’ll definitely drive 11 miles again to this location in the future.

The marquee beckoned. There it was: a Half Price Books that hubby had heard about and never been in. Like a corner dealer luring the neighborhood junkie, this user could not resist.
If you are addicted to the written word (like my husband), HPB has got your stash. We’ve hit up every location that we stumble upon in multiple cities; some are more comprehensive than others, and we normally visit one that’s situated closer to our home. But since we were in the neighborhood of this location, the urge was too much to endure.
Score! Upon entering this store, I told my husband to go «do his thing.» Since we’ve already got nearly a library of our own at home, I don’t advocate feeding his obsession. But, I’ll humor him. So I figured I’d mull around at the front where the vinyl/​CDs/​DVDs are located while he got his fix for the day.
Feet! Where are you taking me? After ambling through the audio collection (a wonderful trip down memory lane with a great collection of vinyl and CDs), I found my legs somehow moving towards the children’s collection. I always judge a bookstore by what it has to offer the little ones, and I SO could have pulled up one of those little chairs to sit down and stay a while. Extensive offering of all levels of books for every age: this was superior to the B & N collection in Champions, frankly.
Resisting the urge to stay in the children’s section, I moseyed back towards the front, meandering through the stacks to get a good look at what else this HPB has. Besides the requisite novels and non-​fiction paperbacks and hardbacks, the collection of books on crafts, cooking, how-​to, dogs/​cats, parenting, gaming, handbooks, collectibles, textbooks, audiobooks and more was extraordinary.
This is, indeed, an impressive Half Price Books. It’s a clean, masterfully decorated location (yeah, look at the walls!) with a stunning array of books, audio, video, stationery and other quite interesting items that definitely merits a visit.
Feed your head.

Seriously can the staff be more rude. I am a book lover and love having books in my hand. I would have purchased a ton of books here of I could have gotten a hello when I walked in instead of a glare or can I help you when I was walking through the store. The store itself is bigger than most ½ priced books and is better labeled. Needles to say I will be taking my business elsewhere.

5 stars for being my #1 hpb location.
My daughter has always had a fondness for chapter books. Since she was 2 she insisted that we get books like Junie B. Jones, Babysitters club and Amelia Bedelia. Why would I pay $ 15 elsewhere for a paperback when I can get it here for $ 2?
I’ve had maybe a dozen friends who have worked at this location, which may attribute to my favoritism. That said, the staff here is always first class, dropping whatever they are doing to assist in your time of need.
Condensed location and a lot less overwhelming than the hpb in the village. Great selection of cds, vinyls and clearance. You can find odds and ends like video games and car mp3 converters.
It is very hard, in fact, to find textbooks (not just this location but any hpb in general). Recently I’ve been on the hunt for an illusive book for class. On the verge of spending $ 70 on Amazon, my love made some calls around town. He found said book here and had it held for me until after work. It’s a nail biting, gut wrenching experience pulling into the parking lot, hoping someone did their job. Low and behold, when I asked for my book, it was there! Delivered with a smile!
Reading is something we should all encourage, not only for our peers but for our children. It can be hard to do when you are spending buttloads on mint books that take less than a day to read, only to collect dust on your bookshelf until there is a rainy day with nothing to do. Hpb makes it possible to expand your mind without emptying your wallet.

This store has been a gold mine for me. I teach Spanish and Computer skills to toddlers and grade school children in a day care. I have purchased most of my Spanish materials and computer programs in English and Spanish here and the prices have been at least half of what they cost elsewhere. I even buy my personal stationery here. Even great Birthday and Christmas can be found here. The quality of what I find here is great and the prices are a big help especially in today’s economy. This is one of my favorite stores.

Good selections. Great prices, of course! They just need to move that checkout desk out of the middle of the floor. It gets far too congested for those walking in and out.

I’ve recently started grad school. Half-​Price has been a life-​saver. While their selection of «actual» textbooks leaves a bit to be desired — there aren’t too many of them and what they have is kinda old — I’ve been fortunate in that my profs aren’t using «actual» textbooks, but production books. I’ve been able to buy about ½ my books here or at HBP online, saving massive amounts of money.
The center they’re in is a tad bit nuts some times for traffic, and they really could put a few more reading areas, or just chairs out for people to peruse books… other than that, I have no complaints.

One of the better half price books in the houston area… even if it is very very on the outskirts. The store itself is very open and clean. We will be satisfying alot of our booklove here.

You can’t find a larger selection of used cds books and stuff. All of the associates in these stores have always been helpful and nice. This particular one meets the mold

Yes, this is my bookstore of choice. I love half price books and have been using them ever since I discovered their existence a few years ago. Now, who wouldn’t want to save 50−70% on books. Yes, most of them are used books, but who cares?! They read just as well as a new one. I visited this location to find a book on puppy house training. I found a few good ones, but decided to buy «The Essential Yorkshire Terrier» published by Howell book house. I paid $ 3.98! I purchased another book at Petsmart and that one was $ 9.99, if only I would have remembered to go to half priced books first I would probably have saved at least an additional $ 5!
Bottom line, if you don’t know about this store, you need to get acquainted.
