I like the concept of Half Price Books--that is, rehoming perfectly good books. This store is the first one in the franchise I have been to and both times I've stopped by it smells like gel they use to cover up smells in the bathroom. Please fix this as it is a big turn off and actually left me with a sore throat after browsing too long!
Books are organized alphabetically by author. Different sections include mystery, fiction, memoirs and literature. I noticed repeat books between literature and fiction, so it's easy to miss something in that respect if you choose not to request help.
I like that Half Price Books accepts books that are written in or worn, but of course that affects the amount you receive for them. With this in mind, I received $5 after selling two books. I don't have a problem with this since I really just wanted to get them off my hands. I know I can go here for this purpose again.
