  I collect the Nancy Drew paperbacks, and was excited to find a small lot of titles I didn’t have yet here. At checkout I noticed they had all been recently repriced to $3.99. This is more than twice as much as these titles run for, at other retailers or at HPB stores. I asked the employee about this and they looked the items up and confirmed the prices, but something didn’t sit right with me. I lifted the new sticker and discovered they had all been marked up 50%. I spoke with the manager and said it didn’t feel right, they were not in pristine condition and it’s not fair market price. I had been to another store in the area the same day and got more from the series for $1.99 or less, and you could see the original price.. They agreed and refunded the items and did a price adjustment for me. In my frustration (and embarrassment) I did not catch the manager’s name but I genuinely appreciate everything they did. They could have easily dismissed me but something felt wrong about this and I’m glad they agreed. I visit a lot of HPB when I’m in Texas and this would have put me off as a customer for a while even if it is the best place to find the titles I’m looking for. I got to add to my collection and HPB earned a customer for life. Sorry again to the employees if they thought I was being demanding or crazy and thank you!

  Great little spot to find old and new books, series, and even antique games (i.e. NES). There's even valuable and antique books valued $50+ to books from the 1800s! Never thought I would see that at a bookstore. You can also sell or donate your own books here. They also donate to various organizations!
