    I came here when I was on vacation and I left with five books. Great selection and everything is labeled by genre

    I agree that the selection at this store is eclectic and the staff is very helpful and professional (e.g., if they don't have a book that you're looking for and one of their other stores does, they'll get it for you from their sister store), but I will never again bother to try selling books to one of their stores. We recently brought in two large boxes of books in excellent condition and received less than $6.00 for everything; in the future, we'll just donate books instead of lugging them over to a Half-Price Books. Moral of the story: buy here, but don't bother to try selling here.

    Pleasantly surprised by the small scale book store - a small version of Barnes and Noble yet all encompassing.This is a nation wide chain better priced. I was not able to order in store from the selective titles ( book from50’s) but encouraged to purchase online after researching the availability.Readers,gift cards and books buying here!I wish there was a place to sit and read beside the one chair.
