I love going to Half Price books and looking around for books and music CD’s. This location on Cooper Street in Arlington is a nice store not real big but they still have a large selection of books, music and other items. The parking lot is a little hard to get into and out of a lot of cars going in and out. So pay attention that your car does not get hit. The used books are reduced to a low price that is pretty good. The trade-in is not any good you may get 25 cents or a dollar for a book you trade in. I guess that little bit of money is better than nothing. I like to look at the music CD’s you can get used CD’s for 1 dollar. They are located on the bottom shelves so you have to look down real low from the grown. I get a gift card for my birthday to use at Half Price Books which is a wonderful gift. It takes me a year to use all the money on the card. This is a great gift in my opinion to give someone that reads.

I couldn’t find anything on my list, which, as an English teacher, was disappointing. I still left with a purchase, though, because what else are you gonna do at the bookstore? The Lincoln Square location has more to choose from. This location was also in a busy, torn up parking lot and strip mall that made me feel uncomfortable.

I used to go to half price books all the time until I went through and decluttered my house. I brought in 12 boxes of books and got a whole $ 32 for the lot of them. 5 cents on a dollar if that. Now I have a Barnes & Noble Nook. Tons of free books available. If I want to buy a book I do. They have daily deals where I can buy a book for $ 1.99 which even at Half Price Books it would have cost $ 5. Talk about saving the trees! Plus I carry all my books with me. Easy for travel too. So before you keep buying books that you’ll never get any money back for, do a one time investment of $ 79 in Nook and save your money going forward.

Another Half Price review, another 5 stars. Of course. While the greatest book store remains their main one on Northwest Highway, this Arlington location that I stumbled upon after a night of Phở is a reminder of what«the quaint local neighborhood bookstore» should aspire to be. For a small store in the burbs this Half Price has a fantastic selection. There’s far more here than just the«_____for dummies» and other pop culture books. These guys have some serious depth to their selection. Bravo.

Nice spot, friendly staff, plenty of different subjects… unfortunately, not the most extensive selection… but it’s smaller than a few of their other locations, so I can understand & forgive the smaller selection. Good for a stop if you’re in the neighborhood.

This place is … ok. They have a wide selection of new and used books, but are still quite a bit smaller than the other Half Priced Books we have visited. They’re comic selection is poop. They have a few collector comics in a case, but they are in horrible condition and in my 5+ visits to the store I haven’t seen much change in the comic inventory. I love Half Priced Books as a chain and the employees at this particular store are awesome, but it was not a big win for what I was looking for. Before you buy anything, do a quick scan through the clearance section. I have found the books I had in hand from the full price in the clearance more than once. That made my day :)

This place was good before the remodel, but now it’s even better afterwards. This HFB location looks small on the outside, but it’s loaded with a lot of good selections and everything’s organized. I usually go to HFB for CD’s, and sometimes look around to see if they have any of my favorite books. The prices for the CD’s are really reasonable(I found the same CD I got at another Arlington HFB location, except the CD found at this location was $ 2 cheaper). I sold some books and CD’s here, but didn’t get much in return. Although, it’s partly my fault because I’m not really good at bargaining. There’s a lot of people on their staff, so it won’t be hard getting some help.

I love half price books… why pay full price when you can get it half off? that is my financial advising tip to you as a financier. OOo I’m going to put this on my resume… LOL jk! It always cracks me up when I see people asking how much a book cost here… HELLO? ITSHALFPRICED!!! there’s a price printed on all the books so take half of that. the staff is always friendly and helpful. I just wish they had a bigger collection of books about relationships and selfhelp. I’ve got issues… lol jk

I’ve been to quite a few Half Price Books locations, and I must say that this one impressed me. At first I was all kinds of bewildered because the store was doing some remodeling, so the fiction sections were scattered and of course reduced in size. However, despite that the selection was AMAZING. I have never, ever been in any kind of bookstore that had several books by Neil Gaiman or even a hardback edition of Dune. And a good chunk of the Discworld series? Really?! I’ve never seen one used before. What really took the cake, however, was two signed and numbered fancy first editions of A Feast For Crows by George R.R. Martin. Long story short my husband had to rush be out of there before we spent our savings. I can’t wait to see what this location will offer when the remodeling is done(which is the main reason there are four instead of five stars for the time being).

I don’t know what other Half Price Books are like, but this one is pretty awesome. The selection is great and the prices are beautiful. I nabbed a GMAT prep book for $ 8. FTW.

This is my Half Price location. I love how small it is yet it always seem to have everything I need from old textbooks to the latest thriller novel. I once was able to find an old economics textbook for $ 5! It was like $ 40 at the UTA bookstore. The staff are really nice and sweet. I once brought in about 200 old books from the 80s and early 90s and they were more than helpful with sorting it out and were willing to donate the books that weren’t worth anything to sell. I’ve been going here for as long as I can remember. The most recent purchase was a hardback book I bought for $ 7(The Girl Who Played With Fire– Stieg Larsson), at B&N it’s still on sale for $ 25. For something that I’ll finish reading in 3 days. $ 7 is a steal. Mmmm old musty book smell. I simply love this place.

Do you like used stuff? Do you live on planet Earth? Then go to Half Price Books and be sure to get on the mailing list because the coupons are bananas. This store is one of the best reasons to live in the metroplex. I love both Arlington locations equally, but this one is less pretentious. The staff are happy to help you and you never know what you’ll find. My favorite section is the dirty art case and you have to have an employee open it for you. Just so you’re warned, you can sell your books CDs vinyl and DVDs here, but don’t expect too much of a return.
