Half-Price Books
Fort Worth, Texas Hwy 377
Rating (5 Being the Best)
4.5!Overview
So I went to Pei Wei on Hwy 377 just south of the Watauga Target. Not my usual Pei Wei, but just as good!While I'm waiting for my ToGo order I take a walk next door, two doors down. There is a place called Half Price Books. Honestly I really enjoy a good book store, but didn't think much of the name or sign and I've past it up several times before. Today I have time so I walk in. This place is just what a good used book store should be. It's FULL of books.
I walk into the smell of old pages, shelves lined, and stuffed, with material from top to bottom. A cove for each section lines the walls with shelves through the middle of the store as well. I found everything from Mitt Romney's Autographed book, to all the For Dummies editions. Then I turn the corner and...
It's not just books!
They have Wii, PS3, and Xbox games, magazines, comic books. It was a pretty cool experience, and I'll most definitely be back!
Cost
Exactly what you'd expect. Some items were $50, some were $3. I picked up a For Dummies brand book that retails new for $20 they had it for $9.99.Kids
They had a whole area just for kids, it was pretty cool. If you are looking for more kids books for your library at home, stop by Half Price Books.
Tips to enjoy it better...
They also have locations all over DFW, not just this one.Check out their website: http://www.hpb.com
They also buy and sell all of this. So if you have old books, comics, etc, that you'd like to sell to them, bring it by.
Final Thoughts
What a cool place. I'll be back for all my book hunting needs.Flickr Photos
