This review pertains only to “order online and pick up at local store” orders.I ordered 6 books. Five were delivered to the store, but were in much worse condition than advertised. I asked for a refund. The manager said he had never done a refund and he had to make two phone calls to give me a refund.The store had no record of the 6th book I ordered. They didn’t have the order, didn’t have the book and knew nothing about it. The manager told me to call customer service. I asked why he couldn’t call them for me. He told me, “That’s between you and customer service. It has nothing to do with us.”When I got home, I called customer service. The problem was that the book was at a store in Dallas – 300 miles from me! They gave me a refund, but kept the sales tax. Since it’s only a few cents, I won’t argue about it.The store employees were courteous and were doing their best to be helpful. However, their whole business model needs some serious work.
The people that work here are so friendly and helpful! The store is always clean and neat. If they dont have what you are looking for they will help you find it. This is my favorite place in Edmond!
Our favorite bookstore! We always find a great selection and have never had a bad experience.
I love this store. This location always has amazing customer service and a great selection of books. I have found that this particular location has the best selection for contemporary fiction and childrens books. Its also a great place to find educational material and textbooks.
Just a heads up for anyone sneaking out of your mask to take a sip of coffee...I did and was promptly confronted by an employee eager to call me out in front of other customers. I noticed others throughout the store shopping with their masks not completely covering their faces.... I guess being an elderly and frail old guy like myself was an easy target. I probably won’t feel comfortable coming back.
Great store and where I go first to buy a book. Their selection is pretty good but can be limited based on availability of books. If they don’t have the book you are looking for than they can ordered it for you if another location has the book.They also carry videos, gifts, comic books, and all types of reference books.
Great selection. Store is very roomy, well marked
Half priced books always has treasures to unearth. Its my favorite place to get lost and the staff is knowledgeable and friendly to a fault. This illustrated copy of the Hobbit is one of the many beautiful items that can be found. Go now, and get lost in the rows and rows of adventures waiting to happen.
A great bookstore that sells used books at a cheap price. They are always getting different books so if you dont see a book you want one week, try the next week and they will probably have it.
Wonderful atmosphere, clean store and very competitive pricing why would you buy a book anywhere else?
Employees are always friendly and enjoyable to speak with. The prices are good and its worth selling your old books if you are going to buy new ones.
Came in to find some books i wanted but they didnt have them, so i asked a worker if he could see if there were some at another store. Worker seemed annoyed and inconvenienced by this already. All they had available to ship were hardbacks so I thanked him and said i would look somehwere else because i prefer paperbacks. Lets out a huge sigh as soon as i say that. Just wish he hadnt seemed so annoyed by me asking. 3 stars because the few other times ive been in here the workers were very nice when i was checking out or had questions.
Always can find good deals on books.
Really over priced.. I won’t be back. I will would highly recommend Archives Books Inc. just down the road and way more reasonable prices. They often have deals as well. Won’t be back here.
Great prices. Hard not to leave with way too much stuff.
Wonderful selection of books, and well organized! The employees were kind and extremely helpful finding exactly what I was looking for!
Both locations I have been to are wonderful! They truly care about you!
Fantastic venue for the collectors including a large stock of books
Clean store but hard to find things. Good place to go for old outdated books.
I absolutely love this store. Been my favourite for years
Pretty cool place. Close to UCO, and plenty of books at low prices.
Nice store?, and nice employees. They have a lot of books to choose from. Covering most all genres, from fantasy, religious, romance, history, and lots more. Also covers all age ranges, from infant, teen, and to oldest age group. They also have a wide range of movies, music, and games. Along with some novelty items. You just have to go and check it out in person.
Great prices and selection!
Half Price Books has a great selection and very friendly employees. Their selection changes regularly, so I visit every couple of weeks. They have a clearance area in the back right corner of the store, where you can find some interesting deals.
They have a bit of everything at great prices!
Good selection of childrens books that my sons were looking for. The staff was friendly and helpful. We caught some really good deals with coupons that the staff showed us. Walked out with five books for the kids for only $11.
Friendly, efficient and affordable
Service was excellent and the sandwiches tasted great!
Great prices decent selection. They will also check other stores within the area and even out of state to see if other locations have the book youre looking for. Every single time I have gone the staff has been kind, helpful, and enthusiastic about reading.
Good place, good condition, and good staff!
I always enjoy half price books. Almost the same general atmosphere and selection of a new book store and easier to find out of print and rare material.
This is a great place to find unique books. There is no guarantee of what they will have but the things they do are at a great price. Friendly staff and a clean easy to navigate store.
Glad my wife found this so now instead of paying barnes and nobles prices we can get it cheaper.
Great clean store
The staff is always friendly and helpful.Great prices on books and merchandise.
So many options, great prices and extra friendly staff.
I love this place, they have movies, games, items for gifts! Its typically cheaper than Amazon from my comparisons, I know thats important for people, but hard for businesses to compete with. Go here over the online shopping... just my opinion! Staff was friendly and helpful as well! I will return!
Never get tired if browsing around for that always longed for book.
Holy cow! What a fun store. Super selection of books and gifts. Journals, pens and other treasures. Took books to sell...very nice and professional. My new favorite place.
I enjoy snagging used books here particularly if I feel like looking at it hands on would help solidify my decision as opposed to just ordering one I havent seen online. And I just enjoy perusing the shelves and seeing what catches my eye. I love that they have an educator discount!
Great selection and great prices, new and used
I love it hear, so does the grand baby. My only problem is the prices they want to buy your books for and the serious mark up they get for said books. But it is a great place to get new books for half price.
If you like to read, you should drop by this store... you will likely find something of interest. The staff are always helpful and friendly and the prices cant be beaten! If you need a programming book teaching the latest version of python or javascript, etc. you would be better off going to Barnes and Noble but other than that, ALWAYS try shopping here first.
Very friendly staff. Plenty of books to choose from.
Fun place! Pretty much the last place around for physical media any more. Especially if you’re looking to sell. The make it very easy to do buybacks. I also like looking at their used game inventory for board games.
Great book store. Prices are excellent. Selection is pretty good as well.
I dont read books, but the books here are pretty cheap. Mostly no more than $15. A lot at $7 and under also. Decent variety of books. Friendly staff.They also sell other stuff like video games. I dont think anyone buys them though.
Extremely helpful people at this one. Great going
The staff here are wonderful, knowledgeable about books and other types of media and clearly care about the customer. They even spent some time helping me find my lost wallet. Book selection was quite nice for a used book store and prices were fair. I cant wait to go there again
Awesome place to go for second hand books and music/video games etc.. great trade deals and great staff to help you out if you are looking for something specific or just in general.
Be sure to ask the staff when they are doing their next sale. They do regularly scheduled additional 50% off and other great sales. Also additional 10% odd coupons are not usually difficult to come by.
I love its A very chill place To look For some cool stuff
Quiet location. I was greeted walking through the door- courteous customers and inside was spotless. They have a wide variety of books divided by sections. Their cookbooks are a great selection. The kids section is fun. They have a big selction of books, activities and toys.
Half Priced Books is clean and orderly. They have a wonderful selection of new and used books and a great gift selection. Its hard when you can get used books online cheaper however if youre in a hurry or want to look over the item first, its great to be able to do so here.
Always willing to spend an hour browsing the racks, hoping to find something unique or interesting that Ive never heard of. Its easy to do at a place like this and have found several books I never knew existed if it hadnt been for Half Price Books. I doubt I need to tell you that the prices are better here. And Im going to say if you have any difficulty buying gifts for that picky someone, this place makes it easier to find something unique in a subject.
One of my favorite places in the world. They have such a fun environment full of books, games, trinkets, maps, and posters. Their workers are very knowledgeable and happy to help. Sometimes I go here just to relax. They also have a really cool antique section where you can search for some valuable classics. Seriously cant say enough about how much I love this store
They had a great set up. Love that I could go in there and take my time walking the whole place without anyone bothering me, great selection on all books. I like that they had craft kits at the front for kids and adult ones too! They had historical books, magazines, art. Very easy to find what you are looking for, everything was nice and meat and Im order. I spent over 1 hour in there, and the kids had fun seeing all the books they had for there ages! Good friendly enrollees too!
Very nice. Inexpensive magazine selection, good CD section and a varied collection of books to keep you busy for a couple of hours each visit.
I was recently in search of an older version cover of a book that has been out of print for quite some time. After checking with the location nearest me, the staff went above and beyond to reach out to other locations to find the exact book I was looking for. It was exceptionally well priced and the service at both locations more than exceeded standard customer service expectations. We have been able to find brand new releases as well as hard to find items at Half Price Books for years now. They are a wonderful addition to the community and I am very happy to have them.
God, I adore books and I really miss reading them, but as a college student its a little hard, you know? But this place certainly makes me want to get back into it. Its second hand, so of course the books youre getting arent going to be perfect, but theyre still in good condition overall and hey! Its cheap!The atmosphere is also very friendly and enjoyable, and I find myself visiting this place more and more when I get the money.All in all, lovely place!
One of my favorite bookstores. Good selection and helpful staff. The kids area has some good books, and some of the newer kids books from authors like Dav Pilkey get pulled up to the front of the store. Good selection usually of US history, and is organized fairly well. Unfortunately, the clearance section is not as well organized as it used to, but I guess thats part of the adventure of a used bookstores clearance section...
Fun place to look around and get used books on the cheap. I enjoy taking my son there to pick books out. He is at that age where he is starting to read, and there is plenty to choose from. As for me, I was impressed with their selection of topics to choose from.
Very good, lots of cool stuff
Not my favorite but easy location to reach. More eclectic selection in larger more progressive cities. When selling books, received higher offers elsewhere.
I love this place! Grab a free cup of coffee and browse the book selection. My kids love it too and we can all buy a book for a fraction of the new price.
I alternate between my kindle, the library, and half-price books. HPB is great! I can always find some good books at a discount and the staff members are helpful. I have resold books there and purchased cards and toys (Doug and Melissa) for my granddaughter. Nothing bad to say.
I love this bookstore. We always have at least one person greet us or ask if they can help us find something. The store and shelves seem orderly and maintained. They have a mix of new and used books as well as other random items. As long as they dont turn into Hastings, more junk than books, well keep shopping here.
Great service, great prices, large selection of books! Its a book lovers paradise I spend hours in here at a time!
Great selection. Very helpful staff. If they dont have it on the shelf, they will find it for you if it can be found.
Every time I go into Half Price Books, I never want to leave. They have a great selection of books, the service is always wonderful, and selling books there is never a hassle. I love it here!
This is the best place to go if you want to get good books for cheap. Theyre not too modern or liberal, theyre just a good balanced book store
After church on Sundays, my family and I enjoy our trips to Half Price Books. We can always find great new books at good prices or fun crafty projects to complete on rainy days. They have a great collection of books, games, records, dvds, and even toys for the little ones. They even give discount cards to educators! They are all around great store- we love getting all our Christmas shopping done here :)
Surprising plethora of books, music, movies, tv, and some video games. I sold 30ish books, in and out in only 30min. Worth the trip
My family loves this place so much. Great prices, great service and amazing selection of books and movies.
Granted It’s a nice place to buy books, but don’t ever expect to get half of what you paid for should you ever want to sell them back a month later. You might get a dollar for the $7.99 you spent on one of their books if you’re lucky.
Always love half price books! Great books and my personal favorite items, super random board games. Highly recommended!
Fun and friendly workers. Once they went entirely out of their way to find the one copy of a book they had on hand in their system. I was very pleased.
I always love going into half priced books could there is always something cool that you find! This store is very clean and well put together too!
I have sold numerous books here, mainly in bulk, and each offer has ranged from fair to pitiful. (10 huge boxes filled with good condition books for $50 to 20 huge boxes with good condition books for $15.) Yesterday, however, is the reason why I will not return and am writing this review. I brought in 10 very rare books, first editions and published in 1922. The woman working took 20 minutes to give me an offer, which was 25 cents. Steer clear of this place, folks, if you want to sell anything you know is rare.
Saw a lot of good souvenirs and gifts there! I didnt go there for that though. I went there because I had books to sell. I brought in a lot of my textbooks and storybooks. I didnt get much but, I understood that they have their margins as well. It was great to get a small coupon for selling your books there though. Would go there again 10/10 times.
The staff here is courteous and friendly. The selection is good for a used book store. I especially love the clearance section, where you really feel like you are getting a good deal.
Awesome selection of books and media related items!
Friendly staff, great selection and good customer service. They dont pay all the much for used books when looking to sell, but I understand they have to make profit as well. I love going to this store to browse and shop--books, CD, vinyl, games and more. Highly recommend.
Huge selection of books! Endless genres to choose from. My daughter and I absolutely love going through the childrens section! You can find anything for children of all ages, from infant and toddler board books to teen novels. They also have an extensive selection of movies, cds, coloring books, and creative/unique gifts! We could spend hours here just browsing!
Not many young adult but great books and policies
I absolutely love this place!!! Theyre books are clean & not run down. Ive purchased a dvd or two as well. Mostly books. They provide discounts for educators. Even with being a discount store, they have a clearance section!!! So its pretty much a clearance on sale items! I appreciate the organization of this location too. Overall, this is a great store that provides a great selection. Check them out!
Love this place. Found it after my daughter started attending UCO. Great selection of books at some of the best prices Ive seenExcellent condition of used book. Lots of other items to shop such as stationary, movies, records, toys.
Its not the store just not my style
Love the teacher discount and how easy it is to find the books I love. I thought that maybe there was a chance the people could be more warm and welcoming.
I love books. And I love bargains. BAM!! Best of both worlds.
Best place to dive into some cheap used records in the record shelves. Never know what you will find!
The location is easy to find and the employees were friendly. I had five boxes of books to sell so I was in the store for about two hours. My suggestion would be to bring in fewer items to sell at one time.
I like to look around this store for the interesting things that they have. The staff is friendly, and its always clean.
Took my bookworm mom for part of her birthday. It was a awesome idea. She loved it and found her special book she wanted. They gave her a birthday discount too♡♡♡ We had a great time😁
