A great second hand bookstore at Crossroads Mall that is one of the malls best assets. They sell more than just books here as you can also find used media items (such as CDs, movies, and video games software and hardware). as well. Customer service is also very helpful, and in a store that sells so much, it is handy to have people on staff at the ready.The only small drawback is some of the aisles, especially around the checkouts in the front of the store, are a bit cramped and the ones at the back (at the interior mall entrance) files people into the media section, making it - at times - a bit difficult to navigate around.But that is only a very small negative in a store that has a lot to offer and well worth a trip to find some hidden gems and some great reads of days past.

Nice store in Crossroads Mall with a very wide selection of books, music, cards, and even a small game section. The staff is friendly and helpful. They also buy/trade used books. The cooking and gardening sections are really good, and my dad likes the military history selection.

Every trip is a new roll of the dice. What treasures will I find this time? What gems will catch my eye? The staff is also lovely, each and every one.

Sometimes you get great books for really cheap but many a times, Ive had better luck getting a new book from Amazon for cheaper.

Really great selection and friendly staff at this branch! Their game section occasionally has some really great finds, and their sci-fi/fantasy section is well stocked with most of the good stuff and starter books for the long-running series! Their crafting and cooking section is also more diverse than expected, and Ive picked up a few language and dog training books as well! Their young adult and kids section is also a really fun area with interesting finds for the younger crowd. All in all a great store with something for everyone!

Wonderful selection! Helpful staff! So nice to shop a real bookstore 😃. Bought 5 books and could have bought more. The music selection is large. And the kids book section is huge. Really fantastic bookstore.

The prices are a bit too high for most of video games and books. When you try to sell them the games or books they roughly pay 10% or less of it’s actually value online used or new. They do have a decent selection though!

Great HPB Outlet. Very strong in used vinyl in all types. Great cds and large selection of dvds, too. Location right next to a food court enables long literate shopping expeditions with in-flight refueling. Go, eat, buy, and read/listen!

1 star as a seller. Two boxes of books(with several tech books)they offer $10 and refused to give itemized price for my books.One of my book - “Clean Code” is being sold with a price of $25 in their store and they only offered like $5 for the book. (I figured this out, because I asked them to took out the book and reestimate the books, they only offered $5 for the rest of books!) Some of the books like “C++ primary” and “js the good parts” are definitely hot books.

I brought in a crate full of books and I would say at least 50 books and all I got was 13 dollars. Better off selling it somewhere else or individually to random people. Books should be considered like gold because one day we won’t have any.

Review №23

My favorite bookstore. Shelves upon shelves of titles to browse that cover ever topic imaginable. Hunt around and you can find some gems. Also the display tables with new books are generally reasonably priced as well. I dont think I can ever come in here without one, taking way more time than I thought to browse, and two, without buying at least something that catches my eye.

Always have loved Half-Price Books and this is a nice one, but I have to admit I like the one in Redmond better. I think it has a bigger selection but it could just be an illusion because it has a second floor. But, this one has a nice selection and its handy because you can hit a few other stores while youre there.

I love this store. Every time I go in I know I will at least spend about $100. The bags of books I take home is crazy. Excellent prices for the most part. Good customer service and the staff is helpful and friendly. A very good selection of used and new books. I will always be a regular at this store. I am taking child psychology and they have a great selection of psychology books. I love to read historical romance novels and thanks to the great prices I now have my own library. Thank you guys so much.

They always have a great collection of works. Comparable to the redmond location. This one is more accessible for ADA wheelchairs since it is all one floor. Its just a bit more narrow getting around compared to the redmond one.This place carries books, vinyl, games, videogames, movies, journals, manga, anime videos/dvds and a few trinkets too.Staff are awesome- some have been working here for 20 years or more!Fair pricing on book sales too all done via cash

I love this store, if you got an eye for details you can score sweet deals (even a steal, not literally stealing books, but very good deals) in this place. I would recommend this place. This is my place to hangout after my office. 👍

I just love Half Price books. The customer service is so great and the staff that Ive encountered just have this special passion and if you are looking for a certain genre or just have any interest in exploring new reads, they will go above and beyond in recommending something worthwhile. They offer 10% off to all teachers & veterans. Its also a great place to stock up on back to school books to keep your kids busy reading, they have beautiful journals and excellent selection of art supplies.

I had buy and sell books at this location in the past 10+ years. My kids were very young when I introduce them to Half Price Bookstore. My family members like to read books. This bookstore sells used and brand new books, musical CD and vinyl albums, craft kits, VHS video taps, old newspapers, novalty gift sets, coloring books, journals and stationary. The books are organized in various sections of interest. There are sections for children, parenting, self help, finance, investment, history, art, music, foreign languages, computer, cooking, crafts and much more. Each shelves are labelled by the last name of the book author. The staff is extremely helpful. If you are lookng for a particular book title, they will walk you to the corresponding section. If they cannot find it, they will look up the author online to make sure the name is correct. Some used books are published awhile back. If you dont mind used books, there are really good bargains. My family likes to visit this bookstore, it is like treasure hunt. Though not all books are available, but if you can find it, you will be excited for the money you save. A book I recently bought, the regular price is $ 13.95, I paid $ 6.49 for it. The book is so clean, it looks brand new. There is no marking, highlight or sign of use.

Friendly staff and nice atmosphere, always can find some interesting books new and old here. Great place to stop by if youre visiting Crossroads mall! Theyve also been limiting the book corners to 1 customer per nook now, which is good to prevent the spread of COVID19.

This is one rather amazing uses bookstore. They also have vinyl records and compact discs (CDs). This is one of the larger half priced books that I have been to and I was really impressed with selection of books and the level of organization. I found the books I was looking for by Chomsky and Zinn, found an art book for my daughter and also a book on how to draw mandalas for myself. Prices truly at half price and more than just books available for purchase. Extremely happy that we stopped in to shop. Found everything I was looking for and more. I definitely recommend visiting a Half Priced Books if you get the opportunity, its well worth the time and money.

Absolutely fantastic place. I love photography and I always seem to find something. My wife loves to cook and always manages to find something interesting. There are books for any type of interest. The prices are excellent, usually half or more off of what the book would have cost new. The staff is excellent.
