Half Price Books

Love this store. Where are all the bookstores? Oh well. At least they’re still here. They have a great selection. I love their vinyl and old CD’s. They have used games, a GREAT children’s section with a little table and chairs where my daughter sits and pretends to read. :)
My niece is a bookworm we go together and we both love it. I’ve been coming here for years so long I can’t remember.
It’s nice and cozy, quiet, the staff is friendly.
Note on the prices on selling books. Go online and try to sell that stuff it will be the same price pretty much. If you can find someone to buy it at all.
I graduated in 2014. Sold most of my IT textbooks that were useless and got a nice amount. I have no complaints.

They really ripped me off. I like the store, but this is the second time they really gave me nothing for my books. 3 were very new hard cover. I was so disgusted. I drove 20 miles to get there and what they gave me did not cover my gas.

4−12−15: I took in 6 (grocery size) bags of books & magazines; mostly old New Yorker mags & some with Kennedy family pix as well as a few hardcover books, some on Kennedy family. I wanted to watch the bags unloaded and looked through. Two store employees tried to get me to browse or sit several feet away or basically leave the area. One of the employees said: «Well, I’m not going to sing & dance for you.» I stayed. And was offered .75 cents for 6 bags. I left the mags., took the books. Salvation Army’s Donor Valuation Sheet suggests deductions of $ 1.00 –3.00 (depending on condition) for hardcover books and .75 to $ 1.50 for softcover. I will not be going back to Half Price Books in Golden Gate Plaza, Mayfield Hts., Ohio

I LOVE a good bookstore.
In the absence of the main stream booksellers of a few years ago, going to a place where you can immerse yourself in prose, both old and new, is a pleasure.
I’ve loved the Golden Gate location for years, and you can find a variety of media, from audio books, to older (and sometimes newer,) software and music. I am a fan and I think I will be forever.
For the bibliophile who wants to find an escape into the pages of something good, to the parent who wants start their children on flights of imagination that will enlighten and enliven, I suggest a trip to Half-​Price books where you won’t get a half measure of the joy of books, both new and old…

Half Price Books is a decent book and media store. There are always odd ball characters posted up on the stools like some frogs in a bog. They get in the way of browsing the shelves of books. During my last visit an older woman briskly walked past me and almost shoulder checked me. She was sweating profusely on a 40 degree day and headed towards the exit. My guess was that she was in the Romance Novel section and needed a breather. Lakewood Public Library Book Sale is going on this Saturday. There are always better deals on used books there.

There are tons of awesome books here and I feel relieved that they bought all of the books and dvds I brought in. I was really impressed by their foreign language section and I can’t wait to return to find some travel books!

I always find tons of great stuff here. They have the best prices on stationery and their employees are friendly. A great place to get a gift card for the bibliophile in your life. They have a large children’s section. I only wish the entire store were bigger!!!

During my first few visits to this location, I was pleasantly surprised at how well groomed the bookstore was, and how much it looked like a local library.
Additionally, I thought it was wonderful that they were willing to make you offers on just about any CDs, DvDs, VHS Tapes, Albums, Cassette Tapes, Books, Records, or Magazines that you no longer want or are looking to sell.
However, upon further review, I see that you can get more money and better offers for your items; if you list them to sell on Amazon or Ebay’s websites. And oftentimes, you can also purchase items cheaper on these sites.
After only being offered $ 1.25 for my two large bags of books, magazines, DvDs and CDs I said forget it! Bringing items in to sell there isn’t even worth my gas money!
Furthermore, I was taken aback to see that a large number of the items that they only wanted to give you a grand total of $ 1.25 for, are heavily marked up and resold on their store shelves.

Hands down the best Half Price Books in the Cleveland area. They always have the best DVD, CD, and book selection all at very reasonable prices. The thing I really like about going here is that the staff is always really friendly and very helpful when you are looking for something in particular. They also rule at giving you recommendations based off what you are buying or looking at. The other HPB locations in Cleveland are okay but as I said earlier, this one seems to have the best selection of stuff in the area.

Half Price Books is like a maze. A wonderful, reasonably priced, book scented maze. I get lost in it, I lose hours in it, and I only spend a few dollars in the end for a significant addition to my book collection. Who can beat $ 2 non-​fiction or $ 1 fiction sales? $ 2-​$ 5 brand new books? Everything else half-​priced? Reading lists for school that would cost hundreds of dollars end up being in the double digits or less – perfect.
I can never leave a book store without purchasing something, so the dollar rack is a lifesaver for someone without literary self control. I have never been disappointed with this store and always find something new and exciting when I go. The only problem is that I’m sad it took me so long to discover it. This is by far my favorite book store I have encountered in Cleveland purely for the books and the prices.
The staff is always super friendly and let me browse in peace which is nice. I always get a nice greeting when I walk in the door, too. This past time I was there, there was an issue with one of the registers and the cashier that rang me up apologized multiple times (I didn’t even need one) and seemed to truly feel bad that my service wasn’t perfect. I certainly wasn’t going to complain, though.

You know what? I really like this store. A lot.
A fantastic selection of books, magazine, movies and games. All previously used and as the name suggests, at half the cost.
Half Price Books is basically a thrift store for the media savvy audience. Each trip is an exciting expedition of sorts. A treasure hunt to find that one hidden gem. I like how each visit is sure to reveal a different find than the previous.
I’ve never purchased music here, although I have noticed they do have a collection of vinyl as well as CD’s. The wall of movies vary among VHS, DVD’s and even Blu-​Rays. As for the books, I’ve discovered quite a few great finds with the most recent selections varying from a Harvey Pekar graphic novel to the latest Tony Bourdain diatribe to a random Michael Ruhlman novel about a first hand account of the culinary world.
It’s also important to remember that this store exists solely based on how often customers recycle their stuff. The return isn’t great on trades, but it sure beats having your old, ignored junk gather dust at the house. Plus, if they can’t resell it, HPB will recycle or donate to a non-​profit organization.

I wish this wasn’t so far away from my place and that the drive there wasn’t filled with the stop-​and-​go traffic on Mayfield Road, because I really enjoy going here. The selection is great and they’ve got a fairly decent selection of newer books too. Seriously, they have SO many books here… if you’re looking for something by a well-​known author, it’s probably here. They also have CD’s, older computer games, DVD’s (although the prices on DVD’s aren’t that great), a few video games, calendars, and other goodies. You can find some real bargains in the cheap section if you look hard enough!
One thing I really appreciate about their book buyback program is that they’ll take *any* book, even textbooks that college bookstores won’t buy back. I just took a load of books there and received $ 15.00; sure, it’s not a lot, but keep in mind that most of these were rejected by Case’s bookstore. It’s a great way to get a few bucks back for stuff that one would otherwise trash!
