Ancient philosophy tells us that”Boasting about one’s blessings diminishes the value of the act in itself “ so to not tarnish any possible future blessings and put any unnecessary pressure on this particular person, as well as set any type of expectations for whomever may read this…but still acknowledge this employee for their humble, kind and stellar service All of the employees here are nice and helpful but JANE, who was working the front of the store and cash register today, was especially kind and helpful and the interaction I was lucky enough to be the recipient of is truly humbling and I will remember this positive exchange, hopefully forever lol. I’m sure Jane likely won’t remember me and seems like the type of person that being kind and intuitive is just a natural part of Jane’s personality. Im sure other customers have probably had many many exchanges just like experienced with Jane but They just may not get documented or even know how to express gratitude for the interaction, so I wanted to make sure that Half Priced Books corporate or owner is aware that they have an incredible employee again by the name of Jane that is going above and beyond what many many other customer service personnel I have had similar encounters with and really enjoys and takes interest in the job and the people Jane meets and their interests while working.
Thank you again and will be back again

Other than the downtown indies, this is the BEST bookshop in town. You will absolutely find things you love, hidden gems, holy grails, and great deals. There is a particularly excellent selection of gay, lesbian, and feminist non-fiction. Don't miss their awesome cd selection as well. The records are usually mostly undesirable but I have also found some diamonds in the rough. Check it out for sure!!! And you can go to b&n across the street after.
