I love shopping at all the Half Price in the area, but this is my favorite. Great selection and an ever changing stock. Any reader can find something here!
Anyways.....
I can never find the books I'm looking for, and they're way too pricey for used books as it is! I also HATE how the childrens section is organized by author/alphabetically. Seriously, no one knows children's books by author, we know them by title. If they reorganized them by title, I would be able to find a decent kids book.
I despise this store. They truely will not give you a fair trade in price. All other stores will give you a print out (if you ask) of what percentage they will give you (i.e. 40% or whatever) of the price they will sell it for. This place won't even throw you a fair value, then theyll flip it for 5.99 or 7.99, when they only gave you 30 cents or less. They will give you a printout of what they'll GIVE you for each book, NOT what they will SELL it for. If you want to get money for your books, DONATE THEM to a charity and CLAIM them on your tax return. The payoff is more than fair for donations.
I had the lowest expectations for trade in values...but apparently my rock bottom expectations weren't low enough. I'm not even mad, I'm just extremely appalled at how unfair they value the books you bring vs. Reselling the books themselves. I question if it's even legal. I would've been happy with even 50 cents a book, they couldn't even do that for my hardcovers. Don't waste your time.
Great selection. Discounted books.
Pretty sparse selection. Great place if you want a million copies of James Patterson books, not so much if you want 19th century philosophy. Has the bare minimum in decent literature, but anything thats been halfway decently written in the last 200 years, you'll probably strike out. Prices are a little dicey too, at least by used book standards. For non-mouth breathers, look elsewhere.
LOVE this place! Fabulous used bookstore! Looks as nice and clean as a new book store. Great staff, great selection and best prices for used books. So glad we have a store in our area!
