I LOVE to read. My five star review for Half Price Books is primarily based on the clearance section. Several shelves of books are priced at $1 and $2. And the books are good! I'm not talking Nora Roberts trashy novel type books (although there are some of them) but Pulitzer prize winning, International bestsellers, make you think for a minute books! I have been known to buy around ten books at a time when I go. You will love Half Price Books if you love to read and want to build up your library.
I have also purchased a few books from the non-clearance aisle - a Pablo Neruda poetry book, a couple Joan Didion titles, and some cookbooks. They were all reasonably priced (half price) and the selection was good. There is also a small selection of CDs and DVDs, but I haven't spent much time exploring them.
Lastly, I love Half Price books because they give teacher discounts on your entire purchase (even when I admitted that the books were for me and not my kiddos).
