Always clean. Spacious. And have tons of books to choose from. Great prices but staff aren’t the friendliest. They aren’t rude either. Just like zombies. Lol. Need to Lively up some. A Smile goes a long way.

Half price books is always awesome. You never know what you are going to come across. I love the fact that I can not only find a copy of the divine comedy or Miltons Paradise Lost but they always seem to find a way to have the cd or record I need to add to my collection. Its good place to go and chill pick up a good. Theyll always be able to get what you need if they dont have it. Stop by and check it out if you havent dont so already. Peace.

Theyve got a great diverse collection of books. Its easy to order if they dont have what youre looking for in stock. The employees are friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Neat little coffee shop right next door. Honestly, I prefer Half Price over Barnes and Noble to save money

They always deliver more than what youd expect from any other Half Price Books. The exercise dvd collection had its own section. An impressive catalog.

Review №35

I was there for crochet books, but the selection they have is severely lacking. Also most of the books on the crochet shelves arent crochet, but knitting and needlepoint. Those have their own shelves. Some basic shelf recovery could fix that.

😎 Best Half Price Books Store in Town! Coffee shop in the book store! Live music on some days! Books are cheap & the workers are helpful! Dog friendly place too if your pooch can behave. If you have Used books in good condition, bring them here and they might buy them from you. 👍

Mi
Review №39

This place will definitely try to rip-off your most valuable books you are selling them. They DO NOT offer a fair price- EVER!!! I honestly recommend that you don’t patronize this crooked, deceitful business. Half-Price Books in Corpus Christi is crooked!!!! 👎😩

Big selection on great books,movies, records, cds,dvds, also the clearance selection is hugh from books and items ranging from 2.00 to 10.00. Great place for the children to seat and look at their books. Next door is a cute coffee shop which you can enter from the bookstore itself.

Review №51

They are the ONLY business during this pandemic that kicked me out and refused me service for wearing a face shield instead of a mask. I am unable to wear a mask because of my heart and lung issues. When I was told to leave, I told them that I couldnt wear a face mask and the reason why (which ADA doesnt require that I do, but I did it anyway) and I was told they didnt care. They refused to allow me an accommodation based on my disability. I tried reasoning with them, but it didnt work. I used to only buy books at Half Price. Never, ever again.

One of my favorite spaces in Corpus. Great coffee, great atmosphere, covid safety encouraged, and a growing selection of both savory and sweet treat options!

Review №53

I love books and I love book shops. But I think these books should be cheaper. Ive sold books to this store and I know what yall paid me and I know what yall a re-selling them for. And I think your mark up is too much. Be cheaper, sell more...

Review №56

Went in to sell a box of movies. They only took 10 movies and said they couldnt find the rest on the computer. Asked if I wanted to donate them to the store. Ummm no because if I do that they make money off of my movies they wouldnt give me a dime for!

Da
Review №57

Wonderful selection and pleasant staff. Just dont go there to sell your books. They will only select a couple out of the box. Then say they dont need the others. Offer you a low price for your books. Then ask if you would like for then to dispose of the books they didnt buy.... Umm no Ill donate them to goodwill thanks..

1/2 price is as good as it gets for a corporate place. People are friendly and very helpful and they even have first editions and and rare books in the back. Combine that with Games, DVDs, and an awesome coffee shop and I will sometimes go and spend a whole Saturday there just to relax ;)

I often go here to find vintage video games, of which they have a decent selection. Books are priced well and there is a ton of shelves to browse. You can find music, movies, magazines, toys, gifts and much more. Its a great place to find all sorts of things. Its connected to café calypso, which has some of the best coffee in town. They have a mandarin cake that is the best thing youll ever eat.
