Good location, well organized and with some pretty good books. Selection is iffy if you need something specific, couldnt find any mycology field guides in the section. Still found some nice short story and poetry collections! Some books on shelves are damaged, with torn pages so check them before you check the book out! I wanted a field guide for seashells but the book had ripped pages.

Always love coming here. The staff and selection are both impeccable.

Excellent selection of everything.1/2 price?? I dont think so.The older the movie the more it costs. I wanted to purchase a movie that was about 33 yrs old & it cost $7.99 ! Really? A new movie at Walmart is $5-8.Dont give you hardly anything for what you bring in. Had brand new 2021 books & they offered pennies!! No thanks

A great little gem of a shop! In these days of internet shopping it’s enjoyable to be able to physically flip through the books. Such a selection, so many decisions, fabulous prices and shopping carts! A book lover’s dream. Several stores in the area can make for a dangerous shopping spree. Different items at different locations. I think I’ll go now…

I love this store. And the people who work there are wonderful. If every store had employees like these, there would probably be world peace. The store is huge. And there is such an incredible selection of merchandise. How can you possibly shop here and not find something to love?

Always super helpful and the staff take the time to look for things for you if needed. Never felt rushed and even felt excited and encouraged to go and pick up my reading materials. Vito helped me today, A+ customer service. Always appreciated.

Place always smells terrible. The book selection is never great. The service checking out today left a lot to be desired. The clerk was rude and condescending. It is none of your business if I choose to recycle the bag you offered me and no, I don’t appreciate having to wait in line while you carry in with another customer about the tragedy of people not getting vaccinated. I didn’t realize only card-carrying Democrats are welcome there. Won’t be returning.

This is a large and well stocked HPB store and it is so very, very TIDY! It is so neat and organized. Even the magazines and childrens books section were perfect. This store has a larger antique, vintage, and collectible section of books than other locations. If you love HPB stores this location is a treat. 📚

Great selection on blu rays and games. Wish they had more comics and graphic novels though.

Great prices, clean and great staff there.Also nice to see that they still have up some barriers at the cashiers. Keeping their workers safe :)

Extremely friendly helpful and professional employees. Meet clean organized establishment

They where very nice,but the quality of the books I brought in was better than the same ones I saw on the shelf.one was a book no more than 8yrs old in perfect condition an it normally costs $15 an I was given nothing for it,not I a place Ill ever go back to the selection is not all that.

All the Half Price Book stores are awesome! We visit them quite often! Have bought a ton of books there.

This is such a wonderful bookstore, prices are low and they have a wide selection. This place brings such a joy to my life. My one complaint is how rude one of the staff member was to a sweet old man. She was extremely mean to this costumer for absolutely no reason. I felt so sad for him. The employee’s name is Judy- I felt so appalled at her behavior that I wrote her name down to remember to write a review for her. All the other staff I encountered was very nice and helpful though....just not Judy!

They should start calling this place Full Priced Books. I used to love HPB, but I grow tired of picking up popular titles Im interested in and seeing them marked $2 less than new at retailers. Same issue with CDs, seeing any big name artist or album starting to get marked $8.99. Pretty soon theyll be asking what they were new.

Just there offering of anything you sell is very poor

The store if is a good place to find books, dvds, etc., but I am now boycotting stores returning to the bad days of requiring masks. Get serious if you dont want to get the covid shot dont require the rest of us to not be able to breath or see protect you with false science.

Love the prices and extremely helpful staff who are passionate about their job. They are so kind Tony kids when they have questions and even my kiddo on the ASD. They are so encouraging of their reading addiction.

Great place to find books of yesterday and today. If you enjoy books this is your hearts desire.This is also for CDs,DVDs, and records and some Video tapes. Get lost in yesterday!!!

Love it! Great store, a very calm and relaxing atmosphere inside. Clean and organized very well. The employees are always doing something (in a good way!). It would be great if they had an area where we can listen to records before purchasing them - I think it would add to the atmosphere and make it more enjoyable!Especially because I wanted to purchase an AC/DC record that was labeled as having a scratch on it (of course on the best song in that album), I wanted to listen to see how bad it was, but the gentleman said there were no record players to listen to it on- so I didnt buy it unfortunately.

Clean, well organized store with charm unique to its employees. (Cute macrame spiderweb on the sorting counter and hand painted signage at the door.) Bought a well priced, fairly obscure record and will return to hopefully find more. Thanks HP!

Love this store! You can easily spend an hour or two wandering around finding books and media. They have video games, dvd/blu rays, board games, books, toys, and more. I can always find something every trip.

Half price books is always a fun store to browse. They have a fabulous selection. Usually something Im looking for.

Had what I was looking for, staff helpful.

The kind of place you can get lost in. Thats the kind of bookstore this is. A welcoming place where you can walk in with food (smaller items) and pets, and browse through a nice collection of books, movies, DVDs, CDs and many other cool items that I didnt even have the time to get to, because they have so much. And the prices are so reasonable, itd be hard to leave without buying something. Id definitely recommend visiting to get lost in that good book, with some of the few places to sit and read or find something you didnt know you were looking for.

My favorite place to get books! This store is very organized and the staff is always very helpful.

Great deals on books CDs games and movies. I got a huge deal for selling all my CDs and was friendly customer service.

Sellers Beware: test the waters by offering a few items at first, instead of a full collection all at once. I wholeheartedly support local businesses, but there is something about this companies culture that rubs me the wrong way.Be prepared for an offer that is pennies on the dollar of what your expectations are.I sold many (30+) video games and was ready for a fair offer in the $30-$40 range (and store credit at that). I was offered $11, and told it was a cash offer — store credit is not an option. I had to take a pause for a moment. The only consolation the “gunner” appraising the items offered me was a comment... “unfortunately most are not in good condition.” This wasn’t true. All discs offered were in great condition with very minor scratches at best. Some game cases were in fair condition, and a few were disc only.In any case, as you can tell I regret not walking away and taking my business elsewhere. I offer this experience as a lesson to others. Don’t make my mistake.

Good place to find a book or record youve been looking for.

Incredibly well organized and such a huge selection of books in every genre you can need. I love coming here to add to my library at home.

Extremely unprofessional staff. Vito treated me awfully both times I walked in. Practically ignoring me (on his phone mind you) until I said something and then all I got was. Oh.. whats up. Really professional. Didnt even bother to help find what I was looking for. Hope he treats his staff better than he treats his customers worst manager Ive ever had the mispleasure of knowing

Great second hand book store chain.

Nice, helpful employees. Great, always-changing selection. You wont be sorry you came!

Wish they would go back to their pre-covid hours.

I love this place! Either for finding my next book or picking up a new to me video game. Keep up the good work.

What can I say? It wasnt breath-taking. It wasnt bad. It was just normal. Its what you would expect. My only complaint would be the slight expense on some books. The book I got was $13 with no awards or anything. Please live up to the half-price name! Staff was amazing and friendly.

It was my 2nd time visiting this location and I noticed different options from before so more then likely the customer traffic is pretty constant. Good vibes great old-school options from tapes cds books and vinyl you cant go wrong!

I love this place! They have an amazing selection and great prices.

The staff is always so friendly, and helpful! Even selling items is a breeze!

Great place. I could hours in this place. Theyve always had good staffs. You can always find a good deal here. Really like their music/dvd section too.

Good place to buy books.

We love going here. Always so many books to choose from at such great prices. Bring a bag to carry them and lots of cash

I loved the selection of books and CDs. It was fun to browse the comics and games too. I spent a couple hours here and didnt feel like I saw everything. The staff was friendly, too.

Theyre dog friendly and I love going here for journals :)

Clean and pleasent.. Love all their books and prices are affordable.

Love this place. Would recommend! Great staff!

Big and has a great selection of books. There is tons of my favorite movies and manga.

Found a lot of value buying used books and gamesfor me and my daughter.

The store is clean, well lighted and inviting. The staff are pleasent, helpful and fun. They can also find almost any book

This chain used to be a great place to sell and buy used books. But now most of their selection is overpriced and they no longer pay out a fair amount for used books.

Very large store has a lot of comic books that you can spend hours browsing and some vintage books and games.

Cool store. Question do you guys sell Pokemon cards?

Great place, fabulous selection of adult & children books!! Support the locals..

Helpful to find everthing you are looking to read and helpful to find new things

Well I went to sell my book it was about 20 of them and I only got 4 dollars for them🤦🏽‍♀️. Oh also the lady at the counter what so rude she had a attitude.

Great selection and friendly staff. Im usually able to find what Im looking for.

One of the better Half Price Books and the staff are really nice if you need anything. Any real good finds there go fast you need to be there at the right time everyday to catch them.

If your looking for old stuff. Cd, videos, tapes. Good price on great Christmas cards.

Too many books; so little time.

This place is the best! They have a great selection of used and new books at great prices plus lots of other fun vintage items. You can also sell books here by appointment.

It have good products

Absolutely love this place. Almost always has what Im looking for not to mention records

Nice books and audio video at cheap prices

Dont waste your time with this place if you have any books to sell. I brought 6 books mint condition 4 of them best-selling ones and was offered lousy $4.00I decided to donate to charity instead .

Absolutely love this location and all the employees Ive interacted with.

Great selection and atmosphere. Staff is always helpful as well

Great selection

The best bookstore I have ever been to. The staff goes above an beyond to ensure that you find what you need. I went here about 2 weeks ago looking for books for my brother. One worker came up to us and asked if we needed help finding anything. I told her a book that we needed, and she led us to find it. Not only that, she looked through the books on the shelf and picked out the one that was in best shape for us. She helped us find 2 more books that we needed and even went to the counter with the recently donated books and looked for one that was in great shape. I am always in awe of how wonderful and caring the staff is here. I look forward to coming here, and the prices are the cherry on top. At Half Price Books, I truly feel welcomed and that the staff makes sure that you leave happy. I cannot express how much I appreciate this store.

I hate books but its a nice play xD

My favorite bookstore, open again after 4 long months of coronavirus lockdown. Browser-friendly store staffed by helpful, knowledgeable employees. Reasonably priced. Eclectic selection of titles, both books and music. Not just bestsellers. I never walk out of there empty-handed. I love this place!

Good selection of kids books, at a reasonable price.

This place is phenomenal. I love the books they have and the variety, it’s very diverse and I appreciate the selections they have available.

Love this store! Every time I go there, I never know what Ill find :)

Fair prices, good selection, clean open store, wear masks for everyones safety in pandemic. Store restructured aisles and more open space to free up movement every visit is cool and fun.

Nice variety and very clean.

Took a couple boxes of old books, got some quick cash, love buying and shopping here!

Very bad experience. Me and my special needs daughter was told to leave because my daughter was not wearing her mask. I told them she was special needs and she also has breathing problems but they didnt care. Really rude people. Will never go there again and I will be telling everyone what happened. Places like this need to be more careful on how to treat there customers.

Sold books and puzzles and got some good deals!

Large childrens section is great. Nice musical selections.

Love all Half Price books locations. Have a great variety of genres, and many gift ideas. The staff are very helpful and knowledgeable.

Terrible service from the so-called “manager” Vito. Employees are rude too because they think customers suck.

Great mix of new and old. Great diversity and style of reading. Good place for teachers, seniors and other special people. They also sell records. They give good deals on their coupons from mail and internet.

Super helpful staff, well stocked location

I adore this bookstore chain. Its always an adventure going in to one. You can find all sorts of great books, games, and even some art kits/supplies. This location is a little small compared to others in the Chicago land area, but I always enjoy the atmosphere and experience. I wish this one had a bigger clearance section, but its still an awesome location. Step inside to find new and old books as well as some vintage ones!!

Good selection of books and great prices. Got a new copy of a book my son needed for school for less than every where else I checked.

Great place to sell and buy used books. They tend to have books in great shape and great prices. The only complaint I have is that often what you may be looking for is not in stock, but they do have a website on which you can search for books locally or have them shipped from out of state. I wish they would advertise their site more.

I found this place by chance, and now its my new go to place. The books are mostly used, but in great condition...so the price is always right. I found $50.00 dollars of books that I just had to have. German books for children, cook books, art books, a few new maps for my husband and several great childrens book, each for a dollar.....and this store has so much more.....like games, toys, puzzles and alot of new gift items too. A real hidden gem!!!!!!!

Great selection at nearly unbeatable prices. Their name should probably be Half Price Media and More because they offer so much more than books. This is your one stop shop for movies, music, games and more. I highly recommend this place. I always leave feeling like I made out and seldom can find anything I buy for less.

My kids and I love this store. All the used books are in great conditions you cant barely tell they are used books. Prices are fair and the staff are pretty nice.

Staff is helpful. Decent selection of boardgames. Inventory doesnt get rotated around too often so if you come here often you will see a lot of the same books over and over again. Sometimes you can find a nice gem in their back clearance section. Overall I really enjoy coming to the store and dont have too many complaints.

I really enjoyed the atmosphere of the store and the friendliness of the staff. They have a great variety of books and other books and crannies to see. And as noted, everything is at a reasonable price.

Great place...nice, friendly staff

Most employees are nice but don’t try selling your things here if you are trying to get a good deal. most of what they do is buy really low and sell really high. even gamestop gives better prices then them and that is saying something. fun to walk around but always check online because there may be better deals there.

I love going here. The store carries a huge range of books new and old. A lot of modern. All for reasonable prices. I even love looking in the clearance section and finding so many great deals and so many good books. And it doesnt feel like Im dropping an arm and a leg when I go shopping there l.

Rather donate to nursing home...unbelievable. ..buy books from us for .75cents. and sell for 8.00Forget it. Donate your books to schools, nursing homes, Goodwill. Not here anymore for me. 7 books brought in, got $4.15 total..

Very helpful staff. Great selections .

I asked them if they offar around same buy back as a college book store if I brought my college books there and they said yes. I brought my books there had a couple of brand new text books with online scratch code still on there and for 11 books they only offard $50 this is nowhere near the price they offard at the college book store. They lied to me. They lie and lowball Women by at least a couple hundred dollars. Pigs.

A couple years ago I went to sell my entire collection of books that range from 100-150 books consisting of Goosebumps, Harry Potter and other children’s books. They only gave me $25 for books that they probably sold for at least $200 minimum (according to the prices of them on their website). I never got around to actually file a complaint or write a review back than. It’s just one of those things that I took as a learning experience. Anyway I’ve gone back a few times over the years and it’s a pretty nice store.

Love this place. I always find something new that I cant leave without, and I always find something else I didnt know they had. I wish I lived in town so I could visit more often!

This place is hands down one of my favorite stores. They have an awesome selection of books, movies, games, puzzles, and music, all at really reasonable prices. This half price books also does a once monthly acoustic open mic night, which is really fun and really well done and out together. Its the type of store I go to every week just to look around because their selection is always changing! 10/10 would highly recommend!
