    Bought the second half to a set of manga I had been collecting and the man at the register was so nice and friendly! He was so helpful and even gave me extra coupons to use for future purchases when he saw I was using my boyfriends! Wish I saw his name so I could shout him out!

    I’ve been coming to this location since I was a child, and it’s always the highlight of my visit to Columbus! It’s so fun combing through the used books and finding treasures. The staff is friendly and the store is very clean/organized.

    Half Price Books was such a fun and enjoyable place to visit. The moment I walked in, I felt surrounded by that cozy, book-lover kind of atmosphere where you can tell there’s something interesting in every corner. The store is well organized but still has that treasure-hunt feeling, which makes browsing around really fun. I found myself flipping through shelves longer than I expected because there was just so much to look at. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, answering questions and offering suggestions without being pushy at all. They genuinely seemed to enjoy talking about books, movies, and everything else in the store, which made the experience even better. It felt like the kind of place where you’re welcome to take your time and explore at your own pace. I ended up finding a few great items for really good prices, and everything felt clean, well taken care of, and worth what I paid. Whether you're looking for books, records, movies, or just something unique, it’s a great spot to check out. Overall, Half Price Books is a place I’ll happily return to. The atmosphere, the friendly staff, and the huge variety make it easy to spend time there, and you never know what cool find you’ll come across. It’s definitely worth stopping by if you enjoy discovering new things or just love being around books.
