- VBVictoria “Vicky” Banach3 days ago5.0Lots of beautiful books. Lost track of time. So much fun
- TTTmackFeb 10, 20264.0Very nice store with a huge selection of anything you might want, books, vinyl,cds, games, you name it. A little confusing though, store needs better signage on what is new books and what is used, only issue i had there. Looked clean and smelled clean
- WZWynne ZelazoskiFeb 2, 20265.0Vibes were immaculate. Happy and friendly staff! Super cozy and welcoming environment. The selection is absolutely amazing. This is exactly the kind of place I loved going to shop around when I was growing up so it was great to step into a little slice of magic again.
- LLLucilleJan 29, 20262.0Well I took all my doctoral psychology books to half price book. I had in bran new shape. They looked like new. I figured w the Statistics books and all the psychology books that I would get more than $16.00. I asked if they were serious and the guy said that they were old. Well I bought these books and finished the program 3 yrs ago. I was walking to the cashier and decided to turn back. I saw the guy laughing and got serious when I approached him. I asked how much those books will sell for and he said $5.00 more or less. I had at least 30 books. These people are “rip offs. Don’t bother to come here. By the way they do not give you an itemized receipt. Ok so I received $16.00 but the straw that broke the camels back” was the laughter after he thought I walked away. These are not professional people. Take your books to some other place like L&M book stores. I believe they still exist. 🤮
- AMAnnette McveaJan 25, 20263.0Only thing is that it doesn't do any good to bring books to sell because they won't buy back books when I bring them in. Only to certain customers. I've tried twice. But no luck with that. Each time I come to one I've tried to sell back to 2 stores but they don't accept them. I spend about $30 just about every time I come in. So never again will I bring books to sell
