Love Half Price Books!You get your moneys worth for both new and used books. Theyre not limited to just books either. They have games, crafts, puzzles, and many other things to choose from.Double bonuses here:1. If they dont have what your looking for, they will source it from another location and have it shipped to their store.2. They buy back your gently used books.Win-win!!

Cant believe they still require masks. For goodness sakes it a dusty old book store.

Good selection but didnt have what I wanted at this location and found it $10 cheaper on Amazon.

Love, love, love all the employees here. Great group of ppl. The buy in system seems to low-ball you, but its better then throwing away books. Whatever. You can find some neat things here

Excellent staff. Very helpful.Always excellent prices. I lost my whole library and will use HPBs to restock it.

This location has a decent selection of art reference books which is what I am looking for this trip so thats a plus. The store is quite clean and organized, the staff was helpful and friendly and they all were wearing masks. Checkout was easy they allow cash or credit and there are barriers between staff and customers. The prices are always reasonable and I enjoy getting to look through a book a bit before buying unlike online shopping. 🙃

Friendly and helpful. Great selection of books.

Just love the prices. Stationary too. Ill try new authors and books not sure of because of lower price. Also exciting at times to find old favorite

Half Price Books offered a huge selection of books, in many different genres. There was a kids section, nonfictions, classics, and more. I didnt find anything that interests me, but I was just browsing through with my friend and wasnt super intent on finding anything. The atmosphere was also nice and comfortable.

Loved this bookstore! Great selection in every section I perused. 😊👍Prices were generally good...only a few were higher than expected, but I think those will be lowered if the books stay on the shelf a little while. Fun place to look!

Friendly staff. Great selection. Perfect place for last minute gifts

I love this bookstore. A few months ago I came in and found a beautiful Xbox 360 for only $50.00 bucks. I wanted an older console to play a few old games for cheap, and they had exactly what I needed. Last week I came in with a list of books I heard about and wanted to read, and they knew the books I was searching for and their location. The store is laid back and the people here care about what you need and theyll either point you right to it in store with Jedi precision, or they can order it from another. An added bonus is that it always smells pretty inside. Its always pleasant.

This is what half Price bookstore should be great customer service store was clean everything was in order highly recommended

Selling books to half-price books is a joke. Dont waste your time. Offered me $40 for nearly 100 books, many were textbooks.

This half price books is requiring masks. I am not going to wear a mask anymore, but alot of the customers will glare at you as you shop. Id suggest that HPB lets customers make their own decisions. Store employees were not aggressive about mask policy, which I appreciate.

Been to many Half Price Books and this one was just as wonderful however parking was a hassle. Once I was able to find parking and walked over to the store, I found what I was looking for.

Do not go there to sell your books unless you just want to give them away. I brought in approximately 50 books in mint condition and was offered $12.70. And the books they have for sale are listed quite costly. I will give to Salvation Army from now on.

Half Priced Books -a great place to fine a book, reference, music, calenders and much more at great prices and selection!

Great selection, amazing prices, if they dont have it they will find it and order it for you!

Always find a book i did knot know I needed. They need a little more help but everyone is experiencing the same problem now.

I mean its HPB, if you enjoy book stores this is a great store to visit. Very was organized, staff is super friendly, and they have a shitton of BOOKS!

Good store, except for one person working there, like the store, that person needs a chill pill

Had a great selection of books. Boxes stacked everywhere. Didnt carry the new book I was looking for

In general I like all the half price books this one is not especially better or worse than any other, kind of middle of the road. definitely not as good as the one on North Lamar or off Manchaca. But theres lots of things to do/buy/eat in this shopping center.

The food is awesome Every time. The service is good too. Yummy!!

This is my favorite Half Price Books location. I love the clean, well-laid out store and the super nice and helpful staff. I often need last minute books for my class and these guys have come through in the clutch every time.

Been coming here since I was 8 years old. Beautiful bookstore, unbeatable prices, friendly staff; its really something special.

If I can give them a 0 I would. I used to love coming here, but today they violated our rights. There is no mask mandate. And it is against the law to refuse someone service if youre open to the public. I walked into the store with my husband . He wasnt wearing a mask due to medical exemption, but I was wearing mine. The WORKER BEES refused him services. Continued to argue, they dont have a clue. We and others I know will never be back to half price. You lost our business forever.

Loved the prices and selection. I am studying to be a nurse and almost bought the whole medical section and spent a little over $200. Very satisfied!

Good selection, including several good board games. We will be back soon.

Always a good experience with helpful employees.

The sales Team is AWESOME!! VERY HELPFUL!! Thanks LADIES 😉😉☺️

Great finds at mediocre prices. You can find some cool stuff at a greatly reduced price, and you can also find some cool stuff thats priced really high but ultimately theres a decent mix of books and a friendly atmosphere, employees are knowledgeable and friendly as well.

They didnt have what I wanted but my kids were excited with what they got.

My kids love this bookstore, there are always books on their interests.

Seriously one of the greatest spots. Upper Austin location is amazing. The smell of old books,the amazing selection. Both customers and workers are amazing. Wanna see more? Google: #MUFASAMUSTLEARN

Had a great time. Go tigers!

We love this hotel and visit the bar whenever we are downtown.

Always love Half Price Books in any location.

I read a lot, and have been coming here for a few years. Decent selection of books, but some genres are slow movers at this location - mostly philosophy and related subjects. Most staff are helpful and polite (primarily the evening shift members), but from my own experience and some other reviews, there are 2-3 rude staff members. I usually come in near closing when they arent there, but I can see them souring the experience for earlier customers and potentially causing missed sales. Sometimes books are in the wrong places, but not often.I cant comment on selling books, since I tend to hold on to mine. I also dont browse the music much, but they seem to have a sizeable selection.

Used cds and used records and used books. Great prices and every visit is a surprise!

I always love coming here and greatly appreciate your respect and attention to covid! Thank you for limiting the number of customers and requiring masks.

Ugh I can not get enough of this place. Staff is ALWAYS friendly and helpful. And I can always find the books I am looking for. Perfect place to go! Do not give up on paper books♡ Build your own library! Keep our book stores alive♡

Lots of books cds games etc reasonably priced

Really small location. I brought in my friend who is in a wheelchair and it was really tight getting around the shop. Selection is very limited, was hoping to find more unique titles, tarot decks, etc.

They are psychotically obsessed with masks even after it’s all over and I refuse to ever go back into this place…I would encourage everyone to avoid it

Always leave with a stack of reads. Novels, cookbooks and CDs of forgotten favorites

Staff rude and do not cater to handicap. They like to be-little customers loudly... in a book store.

I am pregnant in the 6th month. I was in the store looking at some DVDs. I wore a bandana over mouth and nose it happened to slip down for half a second while bending down to reach for a DVD. I got harassed bad by one of your employees(lady wouldnt give her name). She had mouse brown hair was skinny probably in her 40s. She and an old overweight lady were very rude, threatened to call the cops and refused to check me and my husband out. Their behavior could have easily thrown me into early labor. Theyre hiding behind company policy. I wonder if this really is in your interest to treat customers that way. The movies we were going to purchase were worth 20 plus dollars. Now we will never come back and make sure everyone we know wont go there either. My husband is going to contact a lawyer and sue your buts. I hope it was all worth it so a frustrated mildle aged woman could feel good about being in power and harass a pregnant lady.

Yall lost me as a customer very rude staff

Such a lovely little store! came here on a date-night and left with a ton of books and other goodies! will be returning ASAP to see their growing collection and to chat with the super friendly staff! love you guys!

Love, love! This place

Half Price Books is the best place to get new and used books in Austin. This location is very clean and well organized. They had a fantastic selection of new releases at discounted prices too.

It is a good place. Great for finding resources at low prices, tough for finding the specific resource you need. They have a lot of old stuff, but the store always seems crowded and cluttered.

Great store! Went here and the staff were SUPER friendly and helped me decide on a few books! I loved the selection, and I walked away from here with a GREAT haul of books! Thanks for making my day!

Perfect location!!! Its almost like being in a movie!!! So many shops all around..the ambiance of a book store is just so cozy!!!

Worse than a needle and a hay stack for books.

Great service, can always find awesome books and excellent prices! Plus a discount for teachers!

Wonderful staff, everyones always so willing to help and their immense knowledge about everything is mind blowing.

Could spend hours here. Husband had to drag me out, lol

This is a store full of books, games and puzzles! Need I say more? People are helpful and friendly!

Im glad a friend informed me how rude and awful yall are regarding mask. I definitely wont be entering your store!!!

This is a great place for affordable books, games and puzzles. There are several NEW items like activity books and craft kits. This place can be helpful for mothers who want to find fun activities for their kids.

Im happy this story exist.

I visited for the first time in Cedar Park, nice staff, went in looking for a specific older book for a Christmas gift 🎁, and they had it ! I was also impressed with some of their collectibles and little gift items. Will definitely visit again.

Always a nice experience at this store. I was pleased to staff do a headcount and make sure to meaningfully follow COVID protocols.

You can find great deals every time you come here.

Descriminated against my daughter and I for our medical condition. Refused service. So disappointed and feel like a 2nd class citizen.

Props to this bookstore being SO accommodating during this time of Social Distancing. I recently called store for some books. They located while I was on the phone, I was able to also pay and then pickup curbside. Thanks for going the extra mile

Due to Covid-19 we hadnt visited in months. It was nice to look for deals on actual books and CDs vs. digital media. Sometimes you just need that.

Been to several Half Price Books which have had good experiences at, but today a staff person was quite rude so will not be returning to this location.

The perfect little bookstore. Super cheap. If they dont have what your looking for just ask and they can probably have it sent over from another location. Staff here are excellent and friendly. Pretty good vinyl selection and even cassette tapes. The movie selection is nothing to sneeze at either.

Exchanged books for money. Quick and professional

I always love this place. Great people, huge selections, great price. Covid has affected some things. When you are selling books etc the amount offered is miniscule compared to before covid. But that is not their fault. Still disappointing.

Excellent used book store.

Half price books has a good variety of everything and the employees are nice. The one in Cedar Park is cozy. The one on N. Lamar in Austin is awesome with lots of vintage and unusual items and even more variety. The one South Austin is interesting. Just a mellow place

Best bookstore in central Texas

I was looking for specific DVDs and the lady stocking checked to see if some I wanted were in stock but not put out yet

Had an appointment to sale books, arrived found everyone with masks on. Areas were marked with number of people allowed. Books were sold within 20 minutes. Smooth transaction, satisfied with sale.

This place will rock it. Liv is so sweet and helful. I am excited to be a new member.

Great experience as always

Its one of the best places to buy used books and theyve even got new books available. Child safety in the childrens reading area Is quite fair and parents look out for each others children. The staff are friendly and easy to communicate with. Theyve always got air conditioning so its a good way to get out of the summers heat rather than go to the library. Its wheelchair friendly and easy to Get through the aisles. This time when I visited it was a bit more dusty than usual and there were some boxes in the way of getting to the bathroom door which are usually there. I was unable to accompany my niece and to the bathroom for child safety; that is a hazard.. Also, what if I needed to use the bathroom? They dont usually have stuff in the way of the bathroom. Still, a bit more dusty the normal. Its usually more clean, even for a used bookstore.

Staff here is great and very helpful!

Clean store, helpful staff. Greeter making sure COVID protection and policy is followed.

A rare gem to find! Love this place.

A place to find a treasure. Not the best store if youre looking for a specific book 📚, but great if youre looking for a specific subject.

Didnt have enough time to browse like I wanted and did find a couple of books I wanted. The drawback I noticed was that there were little alcoves around the outside walls and that made it so only one person could browse books in some sections.

Love this place

Large selection awesome prices.

Quaint little bookstore. Has a bunch of novels that you might read if your looking for them. Staff is nice and will help you look for anything that you might want. Only problem is that newer books arent always in selection here but if you are needing textbooks I would be checking Amazon or Barnes and nobles.

Located in a very nice shopping center. As all other Half Books I have visited, organized and clean. Good selection here; not as big as some of the others sites but excellent variety. Nice and friendly staff. Great place to wait to meet before or after movies at the theater.

Excellent experience.A greeter opens the front door for you, details social distancing policies in store, courteous cashiers, greeter opens door as you exit, very good selection of all products Very neat, clean.,

Great value to shop for used books.

Me: *walks in pretending I know how to read good. *Does NOT know how to read good.HPB staff: clearly onto me * plays it cool. But then also helps me find exactly what I was looking for, provides an additional recommendation, and makes my over all experience super pleasant and positive.

Boxed cards are such a huge bargain at Half Price Books. If you need lots of Birthday cards, get them here, they are cute! Faith based cards are beautiful too. Save money on beautiful greeting cards here!

Ive always loved this place.

Love finding all the treasures here. Got some great educational books and some fun reads for the kids. Love that they have an educator discount also! Stocking up the classroom can get pricey!! Very helpful and friendly staff also!! Love visiting this store!

Its always a fun and calming shopping experience at Half Price Books. It was my favorite bookstore even before I started working here 😊

I love to go here and dig through for favorite old scifi and fantasy authors. Can sometimes find some gems if you dont mind hunting. Everything is easily laid out and simple to search through. Ive never really tried to sell anything to them as it takes too long but as a used bookstore theyre great.
