| - How have I never reviewed Half Price Books before?
I have been going to Half Price Books since they had a location off I-10 and either Warner, Elliot, or Ray!
This location is pretty fantastic. The staff is always nice (If you care about that) and leaves you alone while you browse (I care about this). You can find them in their assigned "areas" if you need help finding something, too.
If you are looking for affordable records - definitely a great place to come. I don't know how their selection is for "vinyl buffs" - but for me? I have always found anything I was looking for.
Their clearance section and paperbacks on the spinning library-type racks is always fun. You can get some decent reads for $1-$2/each. My sister tears through a book a day during the summer, so unless she wants to hit up the library incessantly - this is a pretty good option.
Their sorted, real "half-price" books are very well-organized, they have a great selection, and they are fairly priced. They have a large children's selection - and they have everything else from religious to psych to cooking.
This location is great because it is right by a TON of other shopping. I love to eat across the street, hit up Nordstrom Rack, and then come by. And there is a Cost Plus right there too! (And an Old Navy, Hallmark store, etc. etc. etc.)
The hours are pretty awesome for a Phoenix book store, too. Any time I have wanted to go they are open. And I am a night owl!
Finally - the best thing about them! - they are pet friendly. I have four dogs and every one of them has taken a tour through HPB. The staff are kind to them and the other patrons are too.
Drop by - whether you are from out of town or a local.
