Half Price Books in other cities:
I have been a patron of Half Price Books for years! I have been coming to the Plano location recently and found an array of vintage books along with a recent purchase of Venom- 1st Edition comic book. My favorites by far has been The Book of Numbers, Merck’s 1899 Manual, The Human Face of Data and Remembering Frank Sinatra.Phenomenal steals at $3!
Um this may be my new favorite Half Price Books, first Ken was amazing!! He handled it so well when I freaked out in utter shock and excitement because they had brand new hardbacks for $13.99!!! It’s unheard of! 🤯I probably asked him 101 questions and he was so nice and patient showing me where Kristin Hannah and Colleen Hoover was. Every associate I came across was more than helpful and very friendly. The used books are in great condition and prices are incredible. I really felt like a little girl at the book fair tonight, thank you Half Price Books. ❤️☺️
Kind of disappointed with the amount I got for the books I was selling - like 6 boxes worth for only $30. :/ If youre buying, however, theyve got a nice selection, and very friendly and helpful staff. Check out the 10+ racks full of Christian fiction, if thats your thing.
Stopped by on our way through town. Nice store and location, didn’t have what I was looking for. Roof was leaking and they had a bucket out, was surprised to browse beside it and feel water drop on me from a separate leak and could see then there was a dark water spot on the carpet.
Service is usually good, the supplies well its a complete hit or miss. Occasionally the comments from staff looking over the books to buy are odd, I guess people really do like to spend more according to staff by not purchasing any series on DVD, non fiction books that are like 10 years old because no one buys them🤔 Oddly enough if you drive over to Barnes and Noble and find the same book but newer it is still for sale in their store so maybe some people buy them?? Maybe they rethink stuff? Just saying
Almost always comfortably filled (by COVID standards nowadays) with friendly, helpful folks, Ive missed physically visiting HPB stores, imagining running my hands along the spines but merely running my eyes from title to title. Likely needless to say, not unlike pre-COVID, I simply couldnt leave empty-handed. This time though, upon my exit, I had so many literary treasures and knickknacks that a cart was necessary to reasonably transport them all to my vehicle. It still wasnt quite enough HPB for me though so I had to bounce up to the McKinney location (@ 75 & Eldorado) a few days later for even more delight!
I absolutely love Half Price Books! This location is extremely well staffed, organized, and cozy. The buyers are constantly busy, but keep things organized and are on top of it! From the music section to the clearance, you are bound to find something unique at a good price. This location is packed on the weekends! Highly recommend, especially during holidays and sales!
Such an amazing experience. Not the best place to sell books if you want to make a lot of money, but if you were thinking of throwing them away or donating them, Half Price Book store is the place to go to sell them for a little bit of money, Got $1.98 for 7 books, not the best, but wasn’t planning go on selling them anyway.The girl at the front desk and even the back were SOOO kind. More than willing to help out.You can sell your books here from 2-4 p.m., I came around 12 p.m. and they were kind enough to look at my books at that time.Helpful and kind people. Customer service was excellent!
Love this place. They were more than generous to hold a particular movie that a loved one was searching hard for. I was able to surprise him after looking everywhere. Theyre always friendly and practing covid 19 preventions quite well, also. Im usually there for People magazines for the puzzles, but I adore their service and selection even more.
If youre looking for a good deal on some books this is the place to go. The selection was good. The shelves were very well organized. The staff was friendly and eager to help. They also have a section for games. And another section for vinyl albums. I will for sure be back and would recommend this place to others.
I was looking for the D&D Players Handbook and two of the employees (wish I had gotten their names) looked in the system to see if any locations had it. They found one at a neaby location and put it on hold for me as soon as they found it. I was able to go get it and Im super grateful! They were really helpful.
Nice selection, prices are okay at best. The guy helping us reeked of alcohol from three feet out, which was unpleasant to say the least. (Looked like a hipster Danzig?) The rest of the staff seemed nice, and was presumably sober. The store was clean and everything was in good condition. If I can ever part with any books, I might bring them here, the buying process seemed fair and reasonably convenient. Good parking, fair location.
This place was simply great. Tons of books just about anything you can look for. They have comic books, just about any genre of book ranging from metaphysical, religious, Science, Education just about anything that you are looking for. The staff was great very cordial when in there today trading in some books. They really help me out. Its a warm environment. People from all backgrounds, ethnicities, and beliefs seem to patronize there. Check this place out you will love it lol
Do anybody who is a book enthusiasts and is looking to find a way to fill their minds with information thats will kill them and make them better to you I speak personally. Half Price Books is one of the best bookstores that exist! it may not have every book that you never wanted but it usually has many surprises and has convinced me that it is worth going to as many times as possible. I bought my first car book from HP Lovecraft from a Half Price Books and since then I have been more interested in buying all of his books and I realized that he is better than Stephen King. So I would recommend this store and anybody trying to discover new literature and make something better of themselves to go and take a look and read as much as you want.
Awesome store! Customer service was top notch and they had a huge selection of books on a particularly not-so-popular subject. Not to mention, the price was much better than I anticipated. I wish there was one closer to me. This is 24 miles away, but its definitely worth the drive!
Was in here 5 minutes before I left, I like coming to this half price books all the time but this time I was in and that was due to trying to sell something. I tried to sell a first print Harry Potter book in the back to the lady running the counter but was met with bad attitude for trying to sell 5 minutes after they stop taking stuff which was after 4. Other cases I would just come back later but was met with comments like it says it on the front dooror you should of read it and even Its there for everyone to read. Well excuse me for not noticing and knowing the times have changed for Corona virus. I get that Half Priced Books is under staffed and if she would of said sorry we cant take anymore that would of been great instead of attitude. She did scan the book only to offer me a dollar for a first print of Harry Potter. 🤷♂️
I miss the Half Price on Parker, but this is its nicer replacement. Very well stocked. Friendly employees. Very good selection. Make sure you look in multiple places. For example, if youre looking for a science fiction book look in Sci Fi trade and hard cover and cheap paper back and in cheap fiction paper back and in the nicer fiction section. Good selection of comics, video games and DVD. Check out the close out section under the records. Very good record selection also.
I can honestly say Half Price Books if you only books for you ever really need to go to. And if youre going to a half price books this is a great location. They dont have as many board games as some of the other stores but as far as pretty much everything else goes Id say theyre just as good as any other half price books. its an added bonus that theres a Trader Joes in the same parking lot so when youre done buying your books I can go grab some dinner.
This location has some of the best quality used DVDs. I typically shop clearance and will usually luck out and find movies I dont own with hardly any to no scratches on them. That is not always the case for many used products. Its also easy to return products, or sell them back if you decide later you do not want them.
My husband and i went there on Oct 1 2020 and he was asking about an item that the box was all dented in,he asked if anything could be taken off the price. He walked up to 2 ladies and asked one of them and she bold face lied and said i just got this in and cant reduce it.He said ok and when we walked away I was looking at the lady who said that and she was looking at the other one like she just didnt want to do it.The date on the yellow sticker they put on there was July 2020,so its been there 4 months and she just out right lied and didnt wa t to help.
They have a wide variety of books at a good price. Im able to sell my used books, but at a very low rate back. If youre looking to make money from books I recommend Amazon or Ebay over half price, but if youre looking for convenience, then they are defiantly the way to go. Sometimes I can find my college books here at a far cheaper rate than the used books at the campus book store. Staff is always friendly over the phone and in store. One of my places to go. Only really downside is they dont have online inventory or live chat.
Feeling amazed when I get to know about this place. If you are a book lover and are you searching for classics, you will get it.If you are a registered member, you could participate in many of the events which will be conducted by Half Price Books.They give 30%, 40% and 50% offers for the highest rated books if you receive HFB coupons. Worth it. Love it. Get it. Read it.Happy Reading.
Amazing things, not just books. Retro videogames are available, new movies, records, and collectibles. I spent about $50 here for a good number of books, including the Foundation Trilogy by Isaac Asimov. If there were any of these places in southern California, Id be broke in a week. Amazing place.
Its a great place to shop for some good books and some that are hard to find.We recently went there looking for some books but they did not have it in this location so some time its better to call first to see if they have it in stock.But I still enjoy going here every chance I get.
Half price books shop it is understand that it is run by one family for the past sendral years. Books are enakku arranged in subject wide. Price is also cheaper. When en quotes about a book if it is in available they en quote from their branch es which shows their dedicated service to the people. They have good collection of old playing records of famous singers. The staff behaviour is excellent.
We hesitate to leave poor reviews, but this location was quite the outlier in our experiences with Half Pirce Books. We received sour attitudes from the employees from the first interaction to the final. We were polite and respectful from the get-go so this behavior took us quite by surprise and was unwarranted.Will not be returning to this Plano location in the future and would not be able to recommend this location with a clear conscious. There are too many quality HPB locations to let this mar our impression of the company.
We love Half Price Books! Our Summer Camp participates in the Summer Reading Program and earns Half Price bucks to spend on a field trip to the store. Alicia made it a breeze for us to come in with a large group, and even sent the kids home with a branded Half Price Books reusable bag to put their new books in!
I went for some joke books for the grandkids and a cross word book for me. Mission accomplished! Plus I had a hankering for some old motown music and I found plenty of CDs to feed that nostalgic memory. And dont forget you can sell your old books, games and CDs here.I can only rate it 4 because it doesnt always have what you want BUT I love half price books!
If you like printed books instead of ebooks, Half Price Books is the place to go. This location is nicer than most and the staff are more helpful here than the one located in Frisco north of Stonebriar. For avid book readers, its a nice step back in time before Amazon changed the industry.
Throwing it out there....VHS TAPES AVAILABLE HERE! Very cheap. Did anybody see the movie V/H/S?? Yes, I did I saw them all...my fave is the zombie mountain biker one. Bruhhh...are you asking and answering your own questions?? Maybe...ok great stuff here in all the music, movies, and all kinds of games. You cant miss this place its close to that restaurant named after a day of the week or is it named after Rebecca Blacks massive number one internet hit.
Lots of books, cds, dvds, and vinyl records. I went in looking for about six specific things, and found none. I asked about one of the items in my quest, and was given a general wave of the hand and told over there about two racks and after 20 minutes of poring over the titles, realized that might not be the right location. I may go back later, as the selection changes almost daily.
The bookstore itself is great. We waited an hour for our boxes of books to be reviewed for purchase, which seemed excessive - and youre required to wait in the store with your boxes. While there, I noticed a sign that says that location donates books to Plano West HS. I live in Plano. Plano is an affluent city in an affluent county - and Plano West HS serves, by far, the most affluent families and successful students in the county. Plano East HS has a greater socio economic mix and possible need, but NO schools in Plano ISD need donations the way that schools in Dallas do, or even certain parts of Richardson and Garland. If I hadnt waited almost an hour before I saw the sign, Id have taken my books to Dallas.
Not homeschool family friendly especially if you have to return several books within their stated return policy. They will accuse you of trying to sell the books online and having failed, so youre trying to return them back to the store. And this is from the store manager. I will not be returning.

2022-07-05My kids blow through books but they want to build up their personal libraries and this is the perfect solution. Books are always in good condition and a fraction of the price of retail!

2022-08-03Great selection...prices have gone up, but they have everywhere!! Employees are kind, very helpful, patient, and they do an incredible job at ordering books/dvds, etc. for u from other Half Price Books stores if that store doesnt have them. The only issue that I have is that when u sell books/dvds, etc. To them, they hardly pay u anything. They really need to change that...but i love them!!!! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

2022-03-14Was surprised at what we received for 10-12 file size boxes of great books we had left over from an Estate Sale. Only $63. Thought it would be more since they all were in good to great condition...

2022-04-25Went in for childrens books. They had a great collection to choose from. I did think they might be cheaper but still got a nice stack of books for $35

2022-04-05Pricing was confusing, as they were trying to charge more than half-price for a book (not a special or limited edition, not autographed) that had a massive tear in the dust jacket because this series is really in demand right now. This same book is available new on amazon for $2 more, so guess where I bought it? Hmm
