Had most of what my wife needed for school textbook wise, she was able to save quite a bit. Theres a huge selection to choose from in all types of genres whether it be for fun, school, or work Im sure theyll have what youre looking for.
Took my books and well the place looked nice but for 10+ books I took I only got about $ 4.16. At leases I got more room for other things.
The store was very well organized and the staff was very friendly. Two floors worth of books to browse through- one of my favorites.
Ive been going to this bookstore for over 30 years. I have never left empty handed. Of all the Half Priced Books locations Ive been too, this is my favorite.
Nice lil place to check out books. Parking and store entrance a bit confusing..hint its in the rear of the building. People were friendly, nice selection of books for the smaller size of this HPB.☺️
This was my first time at this particular location and its such a neat little store in what looked to be an old house. I always enjoy browsing through HBPs when I come across them because each is different and has their own personalities. This one was no different. I was definitely pleased to see a cat colony outside that seems well taken care of. Books and cats are two of my favorite things. I left with three fantastic finds and Im definitely going to come back if Im ever in the area again.
Excellent selection of reading materials, music, and quirky gifts for a very reasonable price. I especially enjoy the various chairs laid throughout the store so you can peruse at your comfort. Friendly and warm customer service. A true San Antonio gem.
This location is cute, but its overrated. Huebner Oaks and Evans Road are better. However, there are a lot of cats around the shop, so it gets bonus points for that, and the selection is good.
Dang near every book you could ever want here i never leave with out glancing at some good options Thank you staff for all your hard work the people notice your efforts. Even tho I didnt ask for any assistance i do like the courtesy and professionalism for those that do.
Large used book store. Has a lower floor section and an upper floor section filled with used books. Helpful staff and plenty of parking.
I shop the Broadway store, but all locations are fantastic. I have never walked out of the store without a book in my hand. Prices are spot on.
Cool selection of books and at a great price. The customer service is awesome. The book store has everything from fiction to esoteric.
Still as funky and fabulous as ever! Dont miss the upstairs and all the books and niches.
Store practices covid safety. Clerks are courtesy. Very nice inside.
Got treated like a criminal and was made to leave a cassette at the counter, a CASSETTE...not just that but also misgendering almost as a insult. I guess the cashier thinks either POC or trans individuals are going to steal cheap items.
Good afternoon 😊. Great store. Many many books to choose from. Two floors to choose from. Great organize. We going Pokemon community went we see it., after we caming to looked, the have line to go in and safely measured with this #COVID19. We choose planty books.
Dont judge a book by its cover!! This place is huge inside! Visiting from out of town and well definitely be returning to this store!
My daughter and I enjoy looking at all the different books and music,etc that they have to buy. Every chance we have X©ellent!
Nicely kept store, well lit and quiet interior. Felt safe. The parking lot is a little tight and there are many strays outside, but they didnt bother. Books had a fair price for what I was looking at. I would certainly come back here to look for another read in the future.They also buy books, some video games and such. Not a bad spot
Very helpful clerks, clean, well-organized, with amazing prices.The store feels like one reading nook after another. Its cozy without feeling small.Clear signs make it easy to find what Im looking for.Lots of variety for gifts, from collectibles and fan t-shirts, games, puzzles, toys, CDs, records, Blu Ray, DVD, journals, books, computer games and more.They have full season disc collections of some of my favorite shows for under $10!Note: parking is in the back, and half the store is upstairs. I didnt see an elevator.
I love this quaint little bookstore . I found out that they had an upstairs. They had the three books I was interested in gettingso I left very happy.
A trip to San Antonio would not be complete without stopping and my daughters favorite used book stores! The staff here is always friendly and helpful and every time we leave my wallet is a little lighter! They have a wonderful nostalgia selection!
This place was great! Its 2 stories and small, but they had a lot of great finds!
Great book selection. Rude staff. I dropped off 13 books to sell with most in excellent condition. I gave the staff member my number and he said that they would call me when they were done sorting through the books. I was not made aware of their policy for patrons to stay in the store while they were reviewing the books so I left the store to do other chores. I called 5 hours later (2.5 hours before closing time) to ask about the books because I never received a call. The woman who answered had the most passive aggressive tone and seemed annoyed with me for not knowing this policy. When I explained that no one made me aware of the policy she grumbled and did not respond. When I returned to get their offer, the same woman from the phone gave me the offer and she did not make any eye contact and just ignored me besides sliding the paper I needed to sign. They gave me $8.40 for 13 books. Part of me wonders if they decreased it because I had left the store. Students, do not waste your time trying to sell your used books here. Try selling them back to underclassmen so you can avoid the unprofessional staff there.
Good selection of new and used books, really liked the history area. They also have board games and digital media like music and DVDs.
One of my favorite places to go when Im in the area. The shop is very cozy and welcoming, very relaxing. Great selection and wonderful prices, friendly staff. Could stay in this place for hours without even realizing it. Always find something!
We had a nice outing here and picked up some gifts and books for me. My husband asked about a couple artists on vinyl and while they looked them up in the system they werent in any stores. That was nice customer service. The store wasnt crowded yet with Christmas and holiday shoppers. It was really clean and organized.
Great prices. The only thing I dont like is that they put price stickers directly on comic books
Employees were super friendly and quickly responded to business needs-long line dissapeared fast! The restrooms need some TLC, but other than that, great jo. Guys! Keep it up!
Its very pretty inside, an old house converted into a library... But there was a beautiful woman outside, so of course I only took photos of her as my battery died. Ill take more photos of the actual building next time we go lol.
Always the best very book is cheap, never pay $25,$30 or $40 if the don’t have it order online way way way cheaper
Very quant, clean, quiet, somewhere you can take time to brows. The prices are great.
I love 1/2 price book store been going there since the 80s. Prices are very reasonable.
Book, books, books. Lots of books, but not the one I seeked.Did get several young readers for my 4 & 6 year olds.Will be back.
As usual...go in to look and come out with a stack...location in Broadway in SATX is super clean, organized and fully stocked...even the second floor has so much to offer...Props to the management and team players
Compared to other Locations this place is a little depressing but you work with what you got. If people are not selling or trading in good stuffs, what you see is what you get. Didnt see anything of interest for me, so I was pretty bummed.
Great place to purchase books/Vinyl Records/Comic Books ect 📚. They have plenty of books to choose from. Nd theyll buy your books that you dont use anymore. Great Place Just Great

2022-05-23This place is used book heaven. I love how sprawling this location is. Dont forget the second floor! The building is admirably old and Im in love with the layout. Theres plenty of space to maneuver around for the days they get busy. I always find amazing books to take home. Theres such a huge variety of books - it makes me so happy just to walk around and see what I can find. I prefer to park behind the building and walk inside using the back entrance.

2022-07-03Im here all the time, and almost always walk away with several things. Love being able to look for books, music, and videos in one place. One of the better clearance CD selections for a Half-Price in town, with a variety of prices and material. Great collection of Mysteries, Music books, Art, Literature, Nostalgia, and other areas. Love that the stock turns over so frequently. Staff is always friendly and helpful.

2022-05-19Great experience buying books, could use a bit more organization and some book do seem over priced, but by the same token many are bargains. You just have to be willing to dig through. Go when you have time or when it is just too hot outside and you will enjoy the experience. Second, always sell your books and music here much better than what your going to get in your garage sale.

2022-07-24Good place to score used books. Eclectic restored building off Broadway provides an authentic antiquarian feel. Occasionally stumble upon some rare or hard to find books at a reasonable price. This location is my favorite of them all.

2022-06-24This is my favorite half price books location it has lots of books books that are both newer and very old. The staff there is always very friendly and very helpful its a cozy older building that screams favorite bookstore. My only complaint is a complaint I have about most bookstores today and that is that there is not enough places to sit and enjoy the books.

2022-04-09This is by far the better of all the Half Price Books stores Ive been to. So quirky and full of variety definitely my new favorite spot! Only downside I would say is to get to the parking lol if I could leave a 4.9 I would. LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS STORE

2022-05-07Books have gotten expensive. I used to frequent a lot, but my visits are becoming less. Books are not half price. Some are more than the original price. Hardly any magazines either. Definitely will not return. I will start ordering books from another source.

2022-05-01Great as always. Good place to get lost and find some nice literary selections from the past. I believe the Broadway location is the first HPB store in San Antonio so its filled with great deal of good memories. Check it out if youre in the neghborhood.

2022-05-29Nice selection with friendly helpful employees. Only gripe is that it gets hot on the second level as theyre not sure conditioned, just fans. Also, if youre selling back books, they pay next to nothing for them.
