I always have a good experience at Half Price Books.Staff is always friendly and helpful.Today I was able to get my grandson a small plush toy and board book for his birthday. Also found a cute Japanese character tshirt for my daughter.I went for and found some Japanese language books for myself. Im a beginner, so Im always on the lookout for easy books to practice reading.Hint: if youre looking for foreign language books, dont forget to check out the kids section.Occasionally they will have age appropriate books in that particular language, not just in the general foreign language section.I got a manga book from the Japanese language shelf in the foreign books section.I also got the Japanese short shory/picture book in Japanese in the kids section on the shelf categorized as foreign languages.From what I could tell they have kids books in Spanish(biggest selection), German, French, Korean, Chinese, Japanese, and a few other languages. Even a Euro-Asian language that -according to my Google Translate app appears to be Gunjati(?).But of course books are always coming and going so you never know what foreign language book treasures you will find in the kids section so dont forget to check that out in addition to the general foreign language section, if you are looking for books to practice your language learning skills.

Ive been a customer for over 15 years. Very helpful and courteous employees. You can find many types of books, novels, comic books, records, cds, movies, calendars etc. Highly recommend this place.

I found a cool paperback version of The Cannibal from 1962. Some tiny treasure inside.Staff is very polite and helpful.

Staff is diverse and overall nice/helpful. Not a very good selection of titles or even categories. Feels kind of cramped despite this lack of inventory. Probably fine if youre looking for random gifts (bags, journals, cups, etc).

This is the place I buy all my comic books and they have a wide selection of them too. The books I got were Bishop and Ninyettes.

Love this place! Amazing environment and a great selection. The staff is super friendly and helpful and offers great recommendations if you ask. Its a fun place to browse but they also have an online inventory search if youre looking for something specific. Always a great experience here!

Pretty small Sci fi and tabletop sections compared to other half price books. Gian kids and young adult section at the back and the staff was all very helpful.

This is one of the few places, where you can find the books you want, if they don’t have it, they can try to order one for you. Staff is very friendly and help you in finding books. Will be definitely coming back for my text books in the future.

Love going to Half Price Books! If you are looking for something and they dont have it, they will call the store that does to hold it for you, or even have it sent over to the store you want to pick it up at! Finding a good book for less is so satisfying!

Half Price Books is more fun than your grandmothers attic! There are all kinds of books, and book-related merchandise, educational toys, games, music in different formats, and lots of friendly employees. I love that I can find really old books, collector edition books, and pretty-close-to-new-releases, all in one spot! I can stop in, for a quick gift, load up a shopping cart, or peruse volumes for hours, and not even make a purchase. The employees are cool with all those scenarios! Not only that, but if Im looking for a particular title, one of the clerks can tell me whether it is in this store, or at another Half Price Books. If they find it, I have the option of having the book sent to the Arlington store, or my going to whichever store has the book. It works just like Barnes and Noble, but the titles could be ancient, the prices are usually a whole lot lower, and you can sell the book back to them, when youve finished reading it!

Review №28

I love books and HPB is always a great place to find just about anything you want to read. If you can’t find the exact title, you can always find something similar (and maybe even better).It is like a new store every day with the incoming merchandise purchased from the community.

Review №32

The half price books at this location is huge with a wide variety of sorted goods. I believe it has better service and space than other locations but their selection wasnt as diverse as others which is out of their control. The employees were kind and helpful in getting us taken care of,will return again.

Review №36

Secondhand bookstores are what I like to visit in my travels. I always stop when I can in search of that rare autographed find to add to my collection. This store, although I didnt find my treasure, I really enjoyed the hunt. It has been a bit because of the pandemic, but I cannot wait for another chance given for another look inside. My name is Roger Browning. Author of The Reckoning of Rance. Now out on amazon.

I shop at Half Price Books all over the DFW Metroplex. But this was a new location for me, and I have to say that I was very pleasantly impressed. The store is organized better than most HPB that Ive been to. The attentiveness of the staff to help me find what I was looking for is stellar. The selections of materials is really excellent, and quite easy to sort through. But most of all, the customer service is the best of any HPB that Ive ever been to. Date: 21.06.02. Please give cashier VPA108 my high-five, he was the perfect example of customer service.My only recommendation for HPB in general, is in the Photography area. Please consider making a delineation of some sort between books of Photography pictures, and actual How-to type of photography books 📓.

There seems to be less books and items on the shelf every time I come in to this location. The staff is very friendly when checking out and will talk to you about some things you purchase. It is a little harder finding someone to help you out at this location though. I will continue to shop here.

Everyone was extremely helpful and courteous. I was searching in the wrong area for while, approached the gentleman receiving books and he immediately located the book I was struggling to locate.

Review №47

This HPB is decent. Good selection of books and classic records. Staff has mostly been in the background of the entire experience with an occasional smiling employee greeting you or inquiring about your visit. My biggest complaint is the handling of their comics here. Probably not a big deal for most customers here.About 20% of comics are bag&boarded, leaving the rest to be frayed and bent as people thumb through them. And half of those unprotected comics have price stickers placed directly in the cover. It kinda sucks for someone who wants to collect and purchase them. Again, I realize this is a niche complaint. Mostly a decent store.

Review №53

Theres almost nothing in this store on womanism. I was searching for 3 books, Too Heavy A Yolk, The Coldest Winter Ever and Hood Feminism. They didnt have any of them. Not even in the system...not sure if its because of something with Covid19 & their policies around it somehow, shipments issues, or if they just dont bother with these kinds of black womanist authors...idk. They had only 1 Tony Morrison book in the store & I definitely didnt see any bell hooks.The store was clean. The shelves were not dusty, employees were helpful.The parking was a bit of a fuss. The shopping center is really busy. Its hard to pull in or out of a spot because of the continuous line of cars driving through, a lot of them seemed to be in a rush.Didnt find what I came for but made the best of things and grabbed a few books after looking around a bit. Books were fairly priced

Review №56

Nice place, thousands of books and audio items here! Decent prices. I think every book I look at was between 7-13 bucks and most of them brand new or gently loved. A bit unorganized though, I found about half of my books in other places than where they were categorized

The prices are much to high. You cant call a book half price and sell it for more than brand new.

Ma
Review №60

The employees are helpful, and the store feels larger than some of the other ones. The parking lot is however very icky... especially right now with gloves and masks on the ground. Also the selection isnt the greatest. Often times when I want a book it isnt in stock here. I mean, it is HPB so I get that I cant expect a book to always be available, it just seems like despite their size they dont have what I want.

Absolutely love this bookstore. Have been coming here since a child, and now as an adult it has not lost its luster and excitement.The store is very well organized, the staff is friendly and helpful, and the smell of books and cleanliness is everywhere.Prices are unbeatable especially if you bring in books to sell to them! I got a discount on my last purchase for bringing in 2 books!

Review №81

Store manager at the morning shift thinks that he can cheat with me. I reserved a book on 5/18/2018 with very good condition at $24.99. On 5/19/2018 I came to store to buy the book but the book was totally different with acceptable condition at 19.99. I am not stupid to not understand that it is not the same book. I am leaving this feedback here because I know that halprice doesn’t have a good customer service. Be careful shopping from this store.

What is not to love about Half Price Books? Each location is unique with what they offer. This location seems to be popular. We were there on a Sunday afternoon, and it was busy. That says a lot. We were visiting in the area, and I was looking for a specific brand of calendar for 2020. Glad to have found what I needed plus a couple of other items.

Well its Half Price for one. Also the atmosphere at this one is nice. But lately I cant find the books that Im looking for (that dang internet!) I love going to stores and browse and touch things. In many cases thats no longer an option. Not just for this store many others are the same only carry small amounts of products in store, then have everything else on line. Bummer

Books at super great prices in all genres. I went looking for a specific book on natural health and ended with 4 more books all on totally different subjects. The staff seemed to be a bit impatient and in a rush. I then quickly realized I was on my own. I enjoyed the hunt for good books
