This half Price books is one of the best Ive been to, lots to choose from and a friendly staff

Great place to shop at to find reasonable-priced books. I have been buying at Half Priced Books since the early 70s. You never know what out of print books you will find. One thing I dont like is that they have stopped breaking up history books into specific time periods like they used to. For instance, I like to look for books on the Old West and Half Price used to put these books in a specific area in the American History section. Now, theyre all mixed up with the rest of the books on American History. This wastes alot of my time and sometimes I get frustrated and leave. I have pointed out this problem to different employees, but the issue still persists. Im not sure if this is happening in other subject-matters sections in the store. Overall, I still love this store.

Great place to find excellent quality used books at literally throwaway prices... much cheaper than Amazon used books collection. The staff is super helpful in finding selections and reserving in other locations. Must visit.

Very nice book store, have some interesting books. I couldnt find what I was looking for, but found some other I liked.

Large selection! Workers were kind and very helpful! The floors could use some cleaning though. They also enforced social distancing well.

My wife loves this place, she loves Paulo Cohelo and she have found a lot of his books here. This is a very good way to protect the trees, reusing books others no longer need is a way to avoid buying new ones.

The prices that they offer for your used books are insulting and nothing short of ludicrous.In the future, Ill donate my used books to my local library and take the tax write-off.Ill never set foot in Half Price Books again - what a joke ...

I love this bookstore. I often find myself lost in the aisles and buying books that I never intended to. Its the cleanest and biggest half price books Ive ever been to as well.

All Half Price Bookstores are great and have the best staff.We loved this local one and wanted to give it a shoutout for its support and love during the pandemic.They remained courteous and good-natured throughout.Big shoutout to all you guys do, especially for kiddos!

Super awesome selection of everything! Clean, organized, and the staff were friendly!

Location was good and the store was clean. Good selection of books and activities. I didnt like that there were 2 people at the register and they didnt greet my family and I. But they greeted the next 3 customers that walked in after us? I mean I dont want to jump to assuming it was because of how we looked? Anyways, found a good book and the person checking us out was nice enough. Maybe work on service.

The employees were very helpful and I found many books that I was looking for.

Great old school Book Store. If you love just looking through books, they have plenty. Great place to find your vacation read for a great price.

Well organized, clean and the young man, that checked us out, was friendly. There was 5 of us and we all made purchases.

Great place to find books! Prices could be better, but its still worth it and you still can find great priced stuff every time.They have a good seectiom of Philosophy books and theres constantly new book additions in all segments.

Any and every book you might want! Theyll buy yours. Great price

This place is totally wicked.

For people who really enjoy reading. They also have DVDs

Easy to find books, and friendly staff! Location can be a little hard to get into due to construction.

Awesome book selections. No matter what genre you like, they have it.

Always a joy coming to this shop. My son loves browsing the kids books and typically ends up taking one home. For $5 or less, how could I say no?

Huge selection of really great priced books. Bought 5 books, all for under $15, that I usually see for 30-40 elsewhere.

They were incredibly nice and helped us look for a book. When they didnt have it, they looked on their database and had it shipped to the store for us. Great service. Can not wait to shop there again.

Every time I go here I find something good and at great prices. Its bright, well laid out, and the staff are very welcoming and helpful. For Christmas, I was able to get books and puzzles that my nephews loved.

Its amazing how many books you can find

Fantastic used bookstore with a very friendly staff. Number of locations throughout the Austin area and Ive always received great service. The Anderson Mill location is a good size store and you can always find something interesting.

We ❤️ Half Price Books. I find a hidden gem during every visit. Its worth the time and patience to look through everything.

Always finding new treasures at this place. Family favorite.

Didnt have what I wanted but staff was kind and helpful. Will be back.

Friendly and helpful but the buy counter was exceptionally slow.

Love browsing never know what Ill find

NOT a place for disabled ppl. No wheel chairs at the front even. Disappointing.

Great place to go and it wasnt crowded

Amazing ! Bought 8 books all different subjects!

Didnt see the book I was looking for so I went to the desk to ask about it. She agreed that they didnt have it. We had a nice discussion about the availability of the book and she ended up giving me a number to look for. She was very helpful and friendly and I was able to find out the the book Im looking for is a novello, so not too disappointed that I couldnt find it.

Nice and super friendly.

Love this place. spend many of a weekend evening in here. comics, books, movies, games of all types......

Great place indeed! I have gone here well over 10 times! It’s almost like a second home! Contrary to what people are saying about rude workers, I have encountered many very nice workers who have helped me many times! Thank you for being one of the best bookstores ever Half Price Books!

More than just books they got a little of every thing. Games DVDS Records CDs Cassette tapes 8 tracks.

The only downside to this visit was the amount of small paper trash and leaves on the floor. The shopping experience was good. We will definitely return.

This place is a book lovers dream! There are books and games for all ages and all genres, a lot of cute and fun accessories, and even music/movies/video games! I walked out with two books, a calendar, a enamel pin, and store brand tote for less then $15! Would definitely recommend to anyone I talk to.Also noted, they are talking great care during this pandemic to ensure the staff and customers are starting safe and following state/county guidelines!

Lots of great titles available new and used......toys for the kids and other unique gifts..... worth the trip...

Best book srore

Not happy with last visit to the south Lamar location. The store clerk thought he was the mask police and threatened to kick me out of the store because I wasnt wearing my mask properly! How rude! I remember a time when the customers were always right. I feel sorry for that dude living scared all the time. Not going back there for some time.

Im a regular Half Price customer. This particular location seems to have a smallish selection.

Best staff! Love going here

I went to sell 3 boxes of books. Paperbacks mostly. Theyd been read once, and put on a shelf. They were in way better condition than 90% of the books on their shelves. I was told they werent in that great of condition. Huh? Most looked brand new? I was offered $4.00 and some change. I will never set foot in this half price location again. Im currently unemployed and even told them that. Take it or leave it is what the girl said as she gave me her best fake smile.

This place is has so many cool things for sale. Its like a land of wonder where youre on a treasure hunt!

Nice book store. Here you can donate your old books. You can buy your choice of books at less than half price.

Great selection! Nice staff.Not always easy to find what I need.

This is one of my favorite book stores. Just about any book you could want, at half price or less. Not only books, the store has multiple media such as movies and records, with games, puzzles and toys.The staff here are very helpful and friendly. It is a real joy to shop here. Right on the corner of 183 Hwy and Anderson Mill Rd. it is quite easy to access from any direction. If you are a book lover, this is the place for you.

Great place. Great store

Found a beautiful Journal ....my first!I Love to look through their records.

Been going here for years, awesome staff, great part of North Austin. Can always find a good find. #MUFASAMUSTLEARN

Generally good friendly service but floors are always dirty

Great place to find books, older video games, and older movies. Pretty wide variety for a smaller store of this type. Very friendly and helpful staff.

This place has books, and so many of them. Partially priced books is the place to go!

LOVE this Bookstore, it tops my list of General places to just visit when one has free time. Highly Recommended top marks.

Great selection of books and vinal records

Always cheap, always organized and always friendly. My favorite book store! Tip: sign up for their emails, you get great discounts are notified of events.Sometimes I come here for dates, we set out to find something we both dig. Sometimes its a new record and others its books we both enjoy. They even have good puzzles, fun board games and tarot decks. I could spend a whole day here

Bought many books here. Typically in good shape and cheap.

I’m a huge fan of half price books to begin with. It’s affordable and they always have a great selection of books, board games, movies, music and more. It’s clean and organized like most locations I’ve been to. However, the service at this location is amazing. The staff is extremely friendly and every single time I’ve come in, a staff member has either recommended a book to me based on what I bought, or talked about how much they love the book/books I’m buying. You can tell that their staff really does have a passion for literature. I come here often and will continue to do so!

Found a wonderful book on soap making! Something to do in my retirement years.

The service is wonderful, the selections are fantastic. We really enjoy Half Price Books!

Good selection and great prices. I bought my planner and calendar from here this year.

I really just like the smell of books.

Staff is friendly and willing to help and courteous. Mask is required to enter. First to go today and ended up having to return one book with no issues. Since its close to me Ill be a regular lol

Great place to browse, sell your books and dvds!

Good selection of books and responsible prices.

This store is very well maintained and is very well stocked if you’re looking to buy books. I was able to buy everything I looked for. They also have an excellent variation of collectible items such as computer games, records, camera and books. I tried to sell books and because they are so well stocked I ended up taking a lot away but definitely a store worth checking out. Staff here were also super friendly

Half Price Books, is a hidden Gem! We need to support our local bookstores. The staff at this Half Price Books would literally give you the shirt off their back, metaphorically speaking. They, from beginning to end, will help you find whatever resource material you need to accomplish whatever goal you set out to accomplish. And they will do this to the best of their abilities.. Do yourself a favor and stop by Half Price Books, I promise youll find something at a very reasonable price, and it will make your day as they have made my day so many times before

Always can find something to read.

Clean store with lots of signs for aisle directions, social distancing and hand sanitizers throughout. This has always been one of my favorite locations.

Half Price Books is wonderful. Ive always loved going there for books. However, for some reason I always overlooked the fact that they had music. My oversight for sure their prices are unbeatable.

Great customer service and selection:)

Didn’t have everything but their COVID precautions are very good.

Amazing find, great staff as always

Great store for gifts and to find a new favorite book

I love this store too much. I spend a lot of time looking at all the amazing things they have in addition to all the books! ♥️

I love this place! Always friendly and I appreciate how seriously they are taking this health threat to the community.

Thousands of used and new books in this great location. Every subject imaginable is featured, including many classic and signed volumes. Highly recommended.

A huge, wonderful selection of books, movies and more. The staff were really nice and helpful as well. It was very clean and well organized. Ill definitely be back.

Wednesday at 1pm is not a day or time I would think Half Price Books would be busy.. but they were. Even though the store had around 30 customers shopping, the staff was level headed, polite and extremely helpful. This location has such a great inventory. Books, movies, video games, music and more. If you want to expand your collection, read a classic or just browse, this is the Half Price Books Id suggest. Thanks for the great service.

Does not allow concealed or open handguns. 30.06 and 30.07 posted on front door.I will be taking my business elsewhere.

Not constant on the staff. Some or helpful some are just clerking. Love the store. They used to be a lot better and buying books. The other day I had a big box. I saw several other people there with books everyone was getting the highest they gave was $2.00. Wow. You have to ask for help and they do not really care if you find anything or not. You almost feel like your bothering them.

This is one of my happy places. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable, and their selection is awesome. Also, theyre networked with each other, so if the title youre looking for isnt at the location youre visiting, they can find it at other stores and get it for you.

Love this place!!

They had what I was looking for. Disappointing that they only email me coupons for online orders.

Friendly staff, well thought out social distancing

Seriously the best place to find books at a cheap price. The amount of times this place has saved me in finding a required book for English is ridiculous. Their collection of older console games and enormous CD rack is a nice plus as well.

Nice to have a brick & morter bookshop with friendly staff in the neighborhood. My daughter loves this place, she gets more books with her fixed allowance.

Alway love HPB. Moved to CO, and there are none :-( so I always visit a few when Im down.

Love half-price books. I wish all of them were as big as the flag ship store in Dallas. This one shouldnt be allowed the name. theyre nothing like how half Price books employees are supposed to be they know nothing and are incredibly insulting with their offers because of that fact. I wished half Price books would conduct a quality control of their personnel and theyre training services.

Great selection of books! had exactly what we were looking for

Great selection of books & no issues maintaining social distance

I love this place. You never know what you will end up getting which is the beauty of a used book store. The also sell used comics and records as well. If you are looking for a specific book the staff at the register can check the store and the entire chains inventory to see if they have it in stock. Never had any problems with employees and almost always end up leaving with something in my hand that I wasnt originally intending on buying

I live in that area, very close by and Ive never seen the inside

The best bookstore ever! I would highly recommend it. Lots to choose from and not just books, games and accessories, prices are super reasonable, fraction of the price from other bookstores. Thanks!

You cannot find a better place to get books and comics!

They have hard to find books, and can special order some from other stores as well.
