Reviews of Half Price Books

Melodi Adams

Although the books weren't exactly half price, some were just dollars cheaper while others were definitely less than half, I love books. And a place where you can get books that are brand new or used is great! Though I don't recommend selling your classics here, I definitely recommend buying from here for those who love to read.

Jim Wiehe

While most people go for the books, I love the selection of CDs and vinyl (old, new, reissues of LPs and 45s). Prices are usually fair, the racks are well organized and I rarely have any problem with playing back the record or CD. This particular trip I picked up a sealed 4-disc compilation, "Now 100 Hits: Forgotten 60s" for under. $10 and it's one of the most enjoyable music I've heard in a very long time. Most of the songs charted better overseas, such as "Lily the Pink" by Paul McCartney's brother's band, The Scaffold, and there are many wonderful gems across many styles of music. I'm so thankful they had this at a reasonable price.

I went several retailers looking for a specific book that didn't have it in stack and I would have to order. Saw Half Price books while driving to one and gave it a shot. Found said book at a 3rd of the price and several more that fit my needs. 4 for what been the price of one. Will definitely be back.

Michael Seely

Have always loved this store. They have a great selection of books, records, dvds and other miscellaneous items. Great prices and very friendly staff!

Creamy Nut Slumper Games “Creamy Nut Slumper Games”

Fantastic selection of fair priced books and records. The staff is extremely nice, knowledgeable of their inventory and helpful. They also have a constantly updated selection, so coming back multiple times is a must. This store is a must for any book lover in general!

Dan Ostergard

Hadn't been there in some time, felt it was considerably less organized within the different sections, almost appearing "haphazard" at times. Price points were also a higher, I know everything is going up including the expenses of a brick and mortar store... but with so many online sources that offer better prices ( even with postage) I know where I'll probably shop in the future.

Whitley Kugel

Very cute vintage feel bookstore. Staff are very nice and helpful. Offered me a decent price for the books and games that I brought in to them.

Michele Glaser

Great deals and lots to look at. was very impressed with the selection they had

E K

Good local used book store with a fair selection. Not a huge variety but there are some interesting books here

T Vlad

This is the best place to buy hard to find books or movies in person at a great price for everyone. The staff is also great at helping despite how busy they might be.

R C

The best, if not the only Used Bookstore in Omaha. While the selection varies it's usually no issue to find something that you want.

charlie t

Pretty huge range of books, I can always find something good to read here at a good price.

Skyler Gorsett

Always love the great pricing and deals I get on board games here! It's somewhere I always stop when I'm in town to see what they have in-stock since it always changes.

bsizemore86

One of the last bookstores around! Location is off of a main road making it easy to find. Selection was okay. Obviously as they resale books they are limited to what people sell, but overall no real complaints other than that I wish it was larger and had a bigger manga selection.

Lacey Bessinger

If you love books and you haven't visited Half Price Books you are missing out. They have a massive collection of new and used books in every category imaginable for half of what you would normally pay or less. They also have music, games and other media. Another great store I'd love to have in Lincoln but will gladly go visit every time I'm in Omaha.

Sherry Shimek

This bookstore and more offers a great selection of books in good and better than good - some are new - for great prices. I love the clearance section where I have found many good recently published books for $2. It is clean and the staff is very helpful. I intend to sell some of my books there to relieve my overflowing bookshelves so I can buy more. They sell online so the stock is constantly turning over. Great concept! Glad they are here for us book lovers!

Ryker Tharp

Well organized, friendly staff, and good prices. I recommend checking it out for both books and board game deals!

Leah WK

I love shopping at this store. The prices are great, they have a HUGE selection, and the staff is so friendly. Its always fun to come here and find new reads. I never feel like I have enough time here.

Becky Wells

Wide variety of books within a wide variety of prices. The staff is friendly and helpful.

Update 3/23 masks are no longer mandatory while shopping. Covid policy: in store shopping allowed. Curbside pick up available. Masks must be worn entire time by all customers and staff. Surfaces are to be cleaned frequently. Nice store with very helpful staff. Store was clean and well laid out. I was specifically looking for 2 old books and 1 old CD and found all 3. The prices were very reasonable for used items in very good to excellent condition. I also took about 40 non-fiction, novel and reference type books to sell. The selling process was very efficient. Their policy is to buy the entire lot that you bring, for a set price rather than "Cherry picking". If your selling to raise cash, then first try the places that will pick out only the ones they want returning the bulk to you. My goal was to sell/ donate these books quickly, therefore I accepted their $15 offer for all items. Bottom line is the $15 was the value of a few of the items while the bulk had no monetary value to them at that time. Important to remember their stock rotates daily, according to what items are brought in, so the same books I brought in may fetch a different price another day.

Jennifer Marsh

We brought in some books to exchange. Ee figured out that they paid us .12 a book. Their books are about half price. I found some great books that were not 1/2 price and some that were more than 50% off. My son loves 1/2 priced books and that's why we go there. A lot of times I look the book up in Amazon and order it there for 75% off.

Wade Maldonado

This place has a great selection of new and used books, movies, and music! I can't complain about the prices either, they seem to be pretty much spot on.

Dawn Tyrrell

Books and so much more. Fair warning you will not get out of the childrens section without a basket. Sooo many fun books, kits and crafts.

Julia Thompson

This bookstore is great. I was able to sell my whole dvd collection here and purchase a few books that were released within the last year. I was surprised at the update to date selection they offered. They have a great kid’s section too!

Kirk Swartz

Great bookstore. Can easily spend a couple hours here just looking for the next great book in your life.

Robert Laudun

It's ok but it was really crowded and not very organized. I appreciate the occasional book I find here because it saves me a great deal of money. I just wish they had more Military/War History books to choose from.

Ciarra Wagner

This is one of my family's go-to places for books. They always have a good selection and are friendly.

Kyle Herold

We love HPB. They have a very wide selection of genres. The price is always right.

Veronica Bremmon

Large selection of books, dvds, comic, music, and a few games and funko pops!

Adrian Mors

I go here to get an occasional cheap graphic novel or rpg book, but really, the selection overall is usually pretty good. Downsides: they tend to over price books listed as "out of print" (and very, very, liberally classify them that way when it doesn't actually increase the value of that book) and you will make SO MUCH MORE MONEY selling your books, well, pretty much anywhere else. Go local whenever you can over this place. All that said, the store is kept up nicely, the staff friendly, and the books organized and cheap.

Diane Hines

Wish we had something like this in MD. Good combination of new and gently used books, and other items.👍 …

Lisa Kowal

They have an awesome selection. Never leave empty-handed

Karen Clark

The kids love to look at the books. Great selection

Steve Fish

I really like this place. They usually have whatever I am looking for.

Matt P

9 boxes of books sold....walked out with $40 I didn't have this morning! Staff is friendly and helpful.

Ivan Reyna

Nice place and staff. Various selections of books

Savannah Witt

I love this store. The prices are great for a person on a budget. Also, if they don't have the book you want. They will look and see if any other half price book store has it.

E Stevens

Great selection of used and new books. A killer selection of used and new board games.

Dan Hamilton

Nice store, good selection. Was not overly impressed but it's a nice book store.

Karen Thorne

I wish I had more money. They had all types of books. Even reference types. A great place to shop for books and save money.

Paige Cares

Got some of what i came for. Books were in good condition. They didn't have everything I needed but the books were cheap. Get satisfied.

DavidisGoliath

Half Price books is the bee's knees they have a huge kids section halfway decent anime/nerdsection ton of board game options ton of DVD options / entire cooking section. Great quality books at great quality prices. For some reason staff continues to wear masks. Don't you wish that wasn't added on there. Love this place though.

Chris White

I absolutely love this store. It got me back into reading books again. There is nothing like the feeling of having a physical book in your hand while your reading. The prices are truly amazing too. I purchased an entire series for less than $20. I am now a regular here. Also so many other cool stuff in the store too.

Marie Anne

I needed the 4th volume of The Dark Tower series written by Stephen King, so I called Half Price Books. They not only had the book I wanted, but they also held it for me because I couldn't make it that day. They also had every additional book in that series, so I bought them all at a really fair price. I highly recommend this store! Great selection and prices as well as friendly and helpful staff. 10/10 will shop there again!

Kathy Bannister

Love this place! Great books, plenty to search through, and reasonable pricing. Love the rare book section and the area for cds and vinyl records.

Joyce Butler

Found a couple of books I didn't know I was even looking for! It was a fun trip!

Sam simmons

Great user book store. Buys and sells used books and has brand new copies for sale as well. Quite large; huge selection, including Knick knacks, music, vinyl, and other cool stuff.

Daryl Shockey

Its my #1 go to place for hard to find, out of print, lost or borrowed and never returned things. Employees are friendly and helpful. The best part is the things you buy are about half - price or cheaper.

Andrew Lynam (A Lynam)

Was able to drop off 3 bins worth of books and got a little spending money. Very easy to deal with and fair pricing considering they take everything and give you a single price for it all.

Anna F

We found everything thing we had hoped for at this store. They have an enormous selection of movies, music, and of course books. The employees are very helpful too.

Henry McCalla

Lots of CDs by known artists for less than $10

Nichole Tornow (Njt)

This is the best place to buy books! I know I can walk in there and usually find what I am looking for. They are extremely helpful and friendly! You can also bring your gently used books to sell back if there is a need for them. Absolutely love this place!

Jay

This place is an addiction. The rate for books you don't want isn't the best, but its a good way to get something for your stuff that's just sitting around. If you have a ton of books I would bring someone to help you because no one will help you with the front door and its a cluster. Love buying from here, they dont always have what I'm looking for but its better than buying new.

Rich M

We went to Barnes and Noble last weekend. It was awful - packed full of people, couldn't find anything, the people were honestly not helpful at all. Ended up leaving without buying anything, while honestly understanding why they were losing locations. This weekend we got to come here (it was packed last weekend with a long line outside). Organized extremely well, easy to understand, great prices... I could easily see spending hours here. I'll definitely be back!

Ash A

While I enjoy the selection, especially the selection on records- I do not enjoy the selling process. As a student I’ve brought in multiple textbooks and books to sell. I never had a problem with waiting for someone to price the books- I have never got anything from selling them. One time I was even told it was $1 for 3 textbooks on business. When I said “no that’s okay.” The staff offered to just take the books! I quickly said “no I’ll just take them with me” they looked disappointed. Would recommend- shopping Wouldn’t recommend- selling

Christopher Petree

Very reasonably priced items. Friendly staff. Well organized. I went in recently to sell some old college text books. I did feel like I was incredibly low balled. But while I was looking around it seems like their entire stock is low priced. Definitely worth checking out for anything books. Plus they've got a decent selection of child items such as flash cards, learning kits, old Disney VHS tapes and so on.

Lance Platt

Each visit to this store is a new experience because the used inventory always changes. My son found a Pokémon book at a reasonable price. I opted for a history book about the 1935 assassination of Senator Huey Long and Life Magazines from 1967 and 1985 because I love seeing the old advertisements. They also had a good collection of personal fitness and travel books since I like nonfiction. A staff member was very helpful in pointing out which aisles had books and periodicals on our eclectic tastes.

Rebecca Vonbehren

It's an amazing store! You can find the oddest books, along with the new with a great price if you're willing to browse for awhile! There is alot to find including out of print manga and graphic novels

Steve Smilko

As an avid reader I thoroughly enjoy this store. Cheap prices. Huge selection. And there is always something good playing over their speakers. Nothing like enjoying some music while cruising the bookshelves.

Bradley Roenfeld

Great store and is always a fun place to visit and see what's available when I'm in town. I don't get to make it out to this one often, but when I do it's good times since the amount of material there is solid. I will say I was a bit bummed on the low amount of comics this time around, but I understand it's an eb and flow situation with what comes in. I look forward to my next trip there!

Sarah Weaver

I've seen comments that this place is dirty. It's a store, if it's snowing or raining your going to have people tracking dirt in. They can keep cleaning behind every customer. Bathrooms are cleaned.

Cobra Loyalist

I stop by here at least once a month. Clean. Great Prices. Friendly and helpful staff. A great selection of children's books as well. Can't really ask for much more than that.

Nicole Loke

A little pricey but over all friendly

Tony Lave

I enjoy coming to Half Price Books! Each and every staff member has always been helpful and kind. Most recently, I went looking for a classic book and it wasn't in the Center street store. So they ordered it for me and had it sent to my house with no extra cost. I'm assuming that is how they handle every customer. I was very pleased! I recommend going to Half Price Books!

R Luft

I brought some books in to sell and the staff were very helpful and pleasant. This store has a wonderful selection of books, games and more.

I really love book stores - nothing else like them! The prices here are reasonable for what you are getting - although I would avoid the buy back counter because they don't offer much in the way of a return. Sad to see them offer 25¢ for a buy back to find the book on their shelves for sale at $5+. Never quite understood that level of miserliness. I do get the concept of brick and mortar expenses but WOW. Unfortunately, options in used book stores are extremely limited in most parts of the country - which is sad. The staff here are usually helpful and pleasant. Very happy that I NEVER get hassled while browsing - which, for me, could be half the day! The bathrooms are clean and the store is well kept. Movie and music options are pretty good - but it would be nice to see more classic options though. I don't particularly care for having to sit on the floor to browse the available music but I understand it maximizes selling space and there is usually a chair close by for those of us with bad knees. The aisles are nice and wide so I don't have to worry about bumping into other shoppers. Overall this is a nice place for an afternoon excursion.

Tom Applebee

GREAT SELECTION. Nothing better than a handsome old book. If you take the time to browse you can find some treasures in here. I've bought several large, valuable collections. When I need help browsing the high shelves the staff are patient and attentive. I always tell myself "I'm just going to look today", and end up spending $100 or more.

Nita Johnson

Corbin was very helpful when I called in advance about the books I was looking for see did very well on searching for the books on the shelves. She was very nice and made my whole experience great when I came to pick up the books. I was extremely pleased with her service and her friendliness. She should be commended for her positive and helpful attitude.

Joshua Andrus

Tons of books in great condition and of course good prices. As with any place that buys from customers (such as gamestop) you won't get a good deal for the books you take there. But, at least it's better than throwing them away. So either donate them or take them here and maybe get enough back to buy a new book!

Jessica Burke

Fun bookstore we always have to stop at when we are traveling. Always an adventure finding something to take home.

Joseph Condon

I love this location! I typically buy my used books online, but I now work on the same block as this store. They have deals (all the time) where you can get as much as 50% off one item, no restrictions. It does sometimes cost more than a used book online, but I highly recommend checking out the books they have by the checkout counters. Most of them are great books and they are priced as little as a couple dollars. I also visit here for the vinyl records. My only complaint is that they don't pay much when you sell to them. I brought in 5 vinyl records, 2 of which were limited edition colored vinyl and still sealed. They offered my $8 for them all! But my review here is mostly for the buying experience, which is great!

Kaylee Pierce

This place is a book lovers dream. The books really are half off what you would pay at a bookstore. They always have a really well stocked clearance section that has $1- $3 books that are still in great shape and are popular. It's very well organized by genre and they always are putting more out everyday. Side note- they do buy books from you but they don't pay well. For a whole series and a sequel series that were in great condition, about 14 books total, they paid me $3. You will need an valid ID when you try to sell your books.

Adam Vraspir

It's a really nice store with a super good atmosphere and everyone is generally helpful. The only reason it doesn't get five stars is because I shouldn't be able to look up something that they have for sale and be able to buy it anywhere from 40%-70% cheaper on online.

Ehud Winograd

Great store with a lot of selection of mostly second hand books, games, and magazines, (but also plenty of new ones!). Some bookshelves may seem slightly picked over sometimes, but they constantly get new items

Andrew Spearman

Staff are always friendly and they've got a really respectable selection of CDs. ( my car is old)

Lee Navarre

Some really good stuff on the clearance shelf

tom mullen

Great prices for books if you don't mind used books. What's a better way to recycle?

Glory W

I love going to Half Price Books. I really like looking at the records and the CDs. They also have good games and things for kids, but the CDs aren't usually shelved properly. There are quite a few albums in the wrong spots, and the books are shelved in a really weird order. It took me quite a bit of time to find what I was looking for.

Darcy Jones

I love this store. It has so many different choices of books and at a reasonable price. I will always go back and I will recomend to my friends.

James Hynes

Great place if your on a budget one might want to check it out!

Matthew Picchietti

I love this place. I've donated lots of books here and I have found a few gems as well. I'm looking forward to my next visit.

Muhamad Ramzi

Decent selection of books, offers a good value for the money. They don't have the newest books (obviously, they have older books because they resell at reasonable prices, depending on the book type). But they also have some newer books that definitely makes it a place to checkout. Somewhat disappointed they got rid of there floppy comic section and only have trades now, but I can understand why.

Olga Conklinh7v

They have many good books to buy, also today 20% off everything, they give 10% off educator card. It was great. But do NOT go there to sell you books- they are very greedy to pay you. I brought 2 heavy bags of about 30 books and was offered...$3 for all! I took them to goodwill instead 😨 …

Bret McVey

Great value! I can't speak to the issues others have regarding the business model of compensation for books brought in, but if you're looking at purchasing there's many great deals. A lot of it is the luck of the draw and whatever is available. They've recently expanded the footprint of the store and I've found the place very clean and well kept. It's always very busy, so clearly they're doing something right.

Rebecca Clester

I like the fact that if I can't find what I am looking for in store they will check other locations. They will ship the item to the store or ship to your home. I believe if they ship to the store it is only 1.99 and if they ship to your home it is 3.99. Don't quote these figures until you double check them please. I love this store and will go back again and again. My experience today was challenging. I sold DVD's and magazines to them today and they gave me a smaller amt than I would like. Seems to happen with the same person and I questioned it. He said it was because the DVD's were scratched. I had to laugh. I said I had never heard that before and said I purchased them from you in that condition and they work just fine. I said this is Half Price Books used vs new. I told the gentleman I don't buy that excuse and that he needs to come up with a new one. Other than that experience all the employees are very pleasant.

Carl Smith

Unfortunately it's one of only four or five options in town for books. Fortunately they have a great stock that is constantly refreshed. Found a lot of stuff on my hunting list there. Book buying staff is friendly and fast, and they deserve your patience on busy days. Remember this is a chain and they do not set the buy back prices.

Andrew L

I haven't been to Half Priced books in a few years but an acquaintance recently took a job there and recommended I pop in. I made a trip there today. Coincidently, I had a tub of IT-related reference books (Unix, Windows Server, Systems Admin, Web development) in the back of the car and decided to cart them in to have them give me an offer on them. While they examined my treasure trove of text books, I browsed around and picked up a handful of paperbacks & a Blu-ray movie. They have a good selection of used books, that's for sure. And plenty of movies at reasonable prices. I can't dispute that. And I give them props for friendly service. But their used book business is horribly inequitable. I figured they might offer me $10 to $20. I thought wrong. After 10 minutes or so they called me over to offer me ONE DOLLAR. I could have accepted "sorry, we can't take these books, they won't sell." or "We already have plenty of geeky computer books, we don't really need these." But offering someone a dollar for over a dozen reference books in excellent condition is insulting. It reminded me a lot of GameStop's horrible trade-in program. They bought your games back for a few bucks and then re-sold them at half or more of the original price. I get it, maybe no one wants aging IT reference books and I would give them away to someone who asked for them, but offering me a buck after I lugged them in seemed like a slap in the face. No thanks.

Marisa Faith

A perfect book store! Everything I've ever bought has been in brand new condition and sometimes not even used once! Everything is organized, neat and clean. I also love their stationary section. All stationary items are brand new and incredibly low priced. 👌🏽👍🏽 …

Cayden Crowise

I adore this store! Not only are the employees SUPER friendly, but you can purchase gently used books/movies/audiobooks, etc.! They have something for everyone - manga, roleplaying books, comics, fiction, military, metaphysical...the list goes on and on. It's also a wonderful place to purchase small gifts. If you're not going to the library, then I certainly recommend this location.

Alex Spaghetti Wench

I truly enjoy HPB as a shopper. Though I have noticed their DVD prices have gone up, but I am willing to pay the extra 1 or 2 dollars if it's something I've been looking for. As for selling DVDs to HPB I wouldn't recommend. HPB already gets a high influx of DVD's being sold to them, many of the same titles that everyone else is trying to get rid of. So they won't be able to give as much for them. The usual median norm for selling DVDs in general to any place is about 10-70 cents per DVD. This # can fluctuate up or down depending on many factors such as what movie, when it was manufactured, how common it is, demand of said item, and what they already have in stock. There are other places to sell DVDs in Omaha, I suggest you browse around and see what fits best for you.

Charlie Crouse

This is an awesome store, with a lot of great items, and I intend to go back to grab a few discount books. However, be wary of selling your things here. The compensation is paltry, even if it is some quick cash. If you have the time, try selling video games/books online or at a garage sale, as you will likely get 4-6 times the amount you'll get here. They need to run a business, so it makes sense, but beware as a customer.

Erin McCafferty

Have best deal on new and old books, DVD's and more

Janice Francis

Overall experience was good. They had a good system to handle the number and flow of customers. Felt sorry for the folks waiting to sell books. They had to stand in line outside. But my husband always finds books he will enjoy in the Military History section. Thanks.

JJMae

People here are friendly and welcoming. Books and other merchandise in the store is super affordable. Selling books here is also super easy and enjoyable. I would recommend this business over any local place!

Heather Deuel

I love going to Half-price Books. They have a great selection and reasonable prices. So many topics and pretty great organization, do so you can often find exactly what you were looking for, or come in with an idea and find many things that may fit. I love the clearance DVDs and books and the parenting section, my husband gets lost browsing happily, and my daughter loves going to the toddler book and movie sections or picking out a stuffed animal.

Andy Petersen

Excellent prices. Selection can be hit and miss. If you're coming to browse, usually something will stick out to you. If you're coming here looking for something specific, it might be better to go on Amazon. Staff is helpful, eccentric, and talkative. Great environment for my kids in the kids section. Also can be good for a date night for book lovers who like to browse.

Shelly Foulkes

A nice place to go and browse for books. The selection of books is surprisingly good for a discount store. They also have many good books that are under $10 (many are even $3) which is perfect for someone who likes to read a lot! The store is clean and well organized and the staff is very helpful. They also buy books if you are able to part with any of your own.

Darrell Roush

Went here to buy some pipe tobacco and ended up getting a few cigars to try. VERY helpful staff and a great selection of pipe tobacco and cigars in a large walk-in humidor.

Angela J

Always a great experience and of course prices

Linda Mooney

I love the store I can find movies or TV series that I love. I have all ten seasons of Star Gate that i bought there. Prices are real reasonable . If you have some old movies you no longer want. They will take them alll and pay you for them. Huge selection of books and if it's not there they will call and get it sent to the store for you. People working there are helpful and friendly. Big plus for me is the dog welcome policy. My pugs love the store too. Take an hour and go relax in a great store.

Mark Bridgman

An awesome selection of lightly used books, audio recordings, and videos at affordable prices. Half Price Books even has LP audio albums and collectible books, both first editions and signed copies. They will also buy your used books. If you're looking for collectible items at decent prices, Half Price Books is the place to visit.

Maria-Catharina Mura

It wasn't very good for selling record album sets for me or CDs either. It seems only rock music from the 60's, 70's & 80's is in demand. They only wanted to give me $3 which was to me nothing. I had nice classic music, mint condition many of the albums including folk music.Over 50 record album sets. So took it to Goodwill instead.

Bree Krueger

Five stars for this place helping support my book addiction. My child has over a hundred books from this place. They have a great selection of clearance books for kids which range from .50 to 3.00. They also have great fandom gifts for my Doctor Who, Adventure Time and Star Wars obsession.

Bruns Wedding

Perfect place to buy books for my daughter that loves books more than toys but tends to destroy them quickly. Huge selection of kids books. The most popular characters can be hard to find but you just have to dig a little

Nicholas Kreifels

I love this store. Whenever my family is in the mood to binge buy a huge pile of books, Half Price Books is always our first choice. The reason for the four stars: I wish they paid a tad more when buying used books, it's hard not to feel a bit like you got ripped off. On the other hand, try to get more for your used books anywhere else and you likely won't get a better return anywhere else. Plus they are local and the transaction is done immediately without shipping.

Dakoda Swenson

I love this store! You can spend hours there just looking at everything they have. Of course they have tons of books and great prices but they also have movies, games, music and some pop culture merchandise. Super clean, especially the bathrooms. You can also bring your used items there and they will give you money or store credit.

Catherine Manthei (Rinadin)

They allow dogs inside (given they have all their current vaccines)! Very fun to bring our 200 lbs Great Dane into a bookstore... very good for his socialization w/ people. If your dogs are quiet and love people I'd def take them they'll get lots of attention! Also it's a BIG Half Price bookstore??? Like wow, huge. Definitely excited to go again.

Andrew Boatkins

Great new and used, old and new books. Excellent prices. Was able to get the new book my kid wanted for their birthday at 20% off the cover price, despite it being unused hardcover. Both the men's and women's restrooms were out of order, though, so that was a bit inconvenient.

Jill Archer

Awful when you are selling books--I'd rather donate to Goodwill. They offer ridiculously low prices and were rude when I needed to drive two blocks away to get my son, then come back--didn't try to be kind at all. Fun to buy books here, but way better prices at Goodwill.

Tim WESTERHOLD

Good selection of used books reasonable price.

Theresa Bochnicek

The staff is always helpful. I have been lucky enough to find a large amount of Animal Ark and Junie B Jones books!

Matt

Friendly book store with a great selection of used goods. They also buy some as well. Nicely organized considering everything that comes in and out.

Jenn Hust

One of the most dangerous stores I have ever been in. The only other one more dangerous for me is the San Francisco Music Box because I want to buy EVERYTHING! Staff at half price are friendly and the process of selling books is very easy and priced fairly. Highly recommend this store 😊 …

Ashley Wingert

I really like this book store, I love how reasonably proved the books are and their massive selection of subjects. I've purchased books about babies, for babies, I've gotten science fiction, and even educational books here. If there is a book you're looking for, check here first! My only problem is how far away the location is for me, but it's worth the drive.

Evelyn Fisher

I love Half Price Books. If you read as much and as fast as I do it is very helpful to be able to go in and get gently used books. I just wish they had them in more States than they do so far. Because now I have to buy them and ship them to my family in South Carolina. They are great at helping you find books if you can't find something are checking to see if they can order it in for you.

Dave Sherrill

This is a nice shop, well stocked with some real treasures to be found. Staff is courteous and helpful. The store is clean and well maintained.

CJSings

Staff is very helpful. It is a busy place with great buys!! New and used books. Great for children, students, adults... anyone who likes to read or perhaps needs a reference book. I have always found what I was looking for here and if I didn't know where to look, the staff was quick to direct me to where I needed to go. You won't be disappointed here.

Michelle S

This is our favorite used book store in town! Great selection and if they don't have it they look online in their database and can usually find it! My girls LOVE coming here to look for new books!

Kelly Klepfer

I love Half Price Books. It's like a cool mixture of bookstore, thrift store and gift shop. I have been cleaning bookshelves off at my house. Half Price Books store buys them. I take in 2-3 bags or boxes and end up leaving with a super bargain treat!

Jamie Campbell

My family absolutely LOVES Half Price Books! They literally have something for everyone there and the employees are AMAZING! You can't beat the prices & did I mention amazing employees?! ❤📚 …

Mareaeric Campagna

I really enjoy coming to this bookstore. They have such a wide selection of books and their prices are below what you would normally pay. They have a great clearance section where you can find books for $2-$3. They have magazines and a great Children's area. You can bring in your books to sell, as well.

Nichole Johnston

I love this bookstore. I never leave empty handed. Great selection.

Nick Boston

This place is amazing. Clear your entire day if you plan on visiting, you'll want to spend hours browsing through the selection. They have a massive amount of hardcover, trade paperback, mass market paperback, and rare & collectable books for sale. They also carry vinyl records, comic books, posters, DVDs & Blu-rays, magazines, video games, and computer software. The prices are very reasonable, too. Almost all of my favorite books have been ones I have simply stumbled across here.

Pam Hollister

Lots of books but I find it difficult to know where to find the books I am looking for. They are doing a good job with the COVID19 restrictions but that increases the difficulty in finding things. Not their fault but still a problem for me. Very pleasant and hard-working staff. I will definitely visit again.

kelly patrick schweitzer

Great place to take books and board games you no longer use, and they pay you for them.

William Swett

Great selection. Sometimes a but disorganized, and it usually takes a while to sell your used books, for which you won't get quite as much as you are hoping. Still, great place to take those already read and understood books, trade them in for something new!

Chris Cady

Decent selection and decently priced, though not as good as their sibling stores in San Antonio or Austin. Do not go there to sell expecting big money. I don't remember ever being pleasantly surprised by their paltry offers. The only reason I still sometimes sell to them is to support the used book store model.

Adam E

Excellent selection of reasonably priced books, games, and other items. Very popular with an ever changing selection of books. I like to visit often, because you never know what great books will show up. Plus, they will buy books from you if you need to reduce your collection of books.

Troy W

Great store for getting older books in great shape most of the time. With that being said some of the new items they have are priced higher than other stores. I wish with technology today there would be a way that they could have the stores selection of books online to see.

Rob Davis

Despite what their policy says about getting half the value of new and popular books when selling, they lie. Don't expect more than 50¢ a book. I had hardback newer Wheel of Time series books that should have fetched a much better price according to their posted policies. Did it anyway because I was just cleaning up, but be aware that they are deceptive buyers.

Jane Scarbrough

Such a fun place. The have a fantastic selection of used books, movies and music. They also have some fun gift items. The staff was super friendly and helpful.

Christopher Weinland

They have everything here and they have it much cheaper than you'll find at other standard booksellers. Video games, movies, board games, kids toys, and, of course, books. They have really old historical stuff too. This location is everything a good Half-Price should be.

Jane Hewitt

This shop is one of my favorite places. It has every type and genre of book you could want. I can get great graphic novels, classics bound in leather, geek toys, and books for kids. All at half price! What's not to like? Plenty of parking and eating/coffee shops nearby. I drive up from Lincoln whenever I can.

Crystal Rundle

The one place I enjoy and can get great books and my child gets excited to come! (He prefers to come here than to a toy store!!!!) Only thing missing is coffee which I normally bring in with me :) nothing will ever beat the smell of a book store... Ever.

Dannielle Swope

Best bookstore in town. They sell both new and used books. Great clearance section too. They also sell vinyl, DVDs, and more. They also buy used books and such. I love it here.

Brian Majurinen

I really like this book store. the prices and selection are great. I always spent way too much time browsing the shelves. The biggest downside is they pay next to nothing for trade in, do don't get your hopes up for a good offer.

Eric Henrichsen

Great place to sell your books so others can enjoy them.

Daniel 436b

My family enjoys visiting this location. They offer a very large genre of books as well as, dvds, music, video games, pc games, and board games. I have a large family and I usually spend $100+ on books alone per visit. I wish they would incorporate some sort of rewards program like most businesses do. I know they offer discounts via email but I feel a physical card with points on them would be more reasonable.

Kev A

Always a great time to browse.

Amy Freier

I love this book store. We make sure to allow enough time to stop here every time we are in Omaha. We could easily spend hours here, there is such a great variety. They have books, board games, (some) video games, comic books, cds, and everything that can go with it.

Andrew Engstrom

Decent place to shop, but unfortunately not very extensive selection in certain areas, such as camping and outdoorsmanship. The used book buying offer is also paltry. Don't sell your books here unless you specifically don't want the thrift store to have them. Yes, it's based on demand and condition, but $4 for almost 20 books is stupid when it's an all-or-nothing purchase.

Stephanie Jones

Good place to get reasonably priced books. I've been disappointed with the clearance section recently... It's been emptied out since covid hit. It's like people are reading more or something.

Jessica Plants

I mean, look... you're not get much for your stuff just face that. It's a bunch of books that you don't want anymore so get over it. They are also heavy so if you have any back problems, bring another person because everyone will just watch you struggle. And you might get a kind stranger to hold the door open for you a couple times, but don't count on any of the employees to help you in a timely fashion. And you can't leave while they look through your stuff so bring a beverage and plan on waiting for a bit. I had about 5 tubs of books, took an hour and half. And I only got 37 dollars. More than you'd make at a yard sale and more than you'd make giving them to goodwill. (Insert shrug emoji)

Amy Lamb

Awesome place for books of course. The video game section here is amazing. The prices are better than actual video game stores. Come here, you just might find a gem. Also they allow dogs inside the building!

Stacy

If I could give this place 20 stars I would!!! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE 💘 ❤ this store. I always refer it to my patients family and friends as well. The wide variety and prices are just the best thing, best book store period. Only place I shop at for books. …

Jan McKenzie

Great bookstore. Clean and well organized. Always has a nice selection of new and used books. They also have movies, vinyl, comics, magazines and more. Great children's section. They buy books and other materials that they sell.

Jeremy Johnson (Liquid)

Great selection of books. Prices are a little high. Check Amazon before buying anything. Sometimes you'll find a good deal, but a lot of times Amazon is the same price or cheaper. Also, unless you really don't care how much you get, don't bother trading stuff in. They give you VERY LITTLE back for your used items.

Joe Noga

Seriously...every time we visit Omaha, we make sure to stop by Half Price Books! And I know people say those sort of things, but for us it's true. They have great prices and the people working there are super knowledgeable and helpful. They also have a decent record collection on sale.

Sherrie Dixon

My favorite Omaha bookstore. No coffee / pastries are sold inside but all books are discounted. Nice people working here who dont bother you unless you want to ask them something. Great kids book area. Lots of extra "gifts" available. They'll order you what you cant find. Also have music section.

David Nesbit

They really do stock a lot of hard to find items. They're selection of topics is varied and they have a great collection of DVD and Blu ray films. If you're looking for media on the cheap on the westside it's a good place to hunt.

TJ S

Been coming here since I was a kid. Love this place. Copious books and decent music selection. Also, I'm not sure if it's just every bookstore but it smells really good inside.

Therese Guy

They use to have a couple chairs available for customers, now they don't. I would have stayed longer and bought more if they were available as my walking and standing is impaired.

Nyssa Mother of Voids

Best place I've found to buy books in Omaha! Also their selection is always changing due to the fact that they sell used books sold to them from people locally. Also a great place to look for vinal and CDs with the occasional treasure found within their selection of video games, board games, and movies.

fig ment

I absolutely love all the book and CD choices. You can easily find books for 5$ and maybe even less. If you can't find a specific book, ask one of the workers there and they'll help, or they'll offer to order it for you. I just love this place, you can turn in your books and CDs for money, although they don't offer very much for them. They have ordered books and secondhand books all together, but honestly, I can't really tell. The secondhand books are in some of the best conditions I've ever seen.

jesi olson

I loved this store! I stopped in on a whim, because I'm not from nebraska. I was like a kid in a candy store, and a bearded gentleman was very kind in helping me look for a particular book. They didn't have it, but he was still very patient. The store had another book I wanted anyway. Their prices are incredible! I found a book on spirits and hauntings from my childhood for eight dollars. I looked on amazon, and it is actually worth seventy nowadays. This whole store is awesome. A+

Teri Velasco

I wish they would give you a little more for your books you sell back. But it is all on whats big and being sold fast that determines the amount you get back. As for buying any books yourseld from the store I believe they have a great selection and everything is labeled as to vegan eating to meal making for diabetes. Even a kids section.

Michael S

I had never been here before. I was searching all over town for a specific calendar. I was on my way home after giving up on finding it locally when I noticed this book store and decided to try one more time. They had the calendar I was looking for and a book I was looking for, both at a good price. It's a decent sized store with friendly staff, and I like the idea that you can bring used books in to sell.

Jeff Kuhns

Great used book store with more to offer than just books. CD's, Records, DVD, and electronics are all included in their inventory as well. Instead of just tossing out your items, upcycle them - get a couple bucks for something that would have gone into the landfill, and make someone's day when they find a treasure you decided to part with. Stores like this help our environment, keep many things out of the landfills.

Patricia Patton

This location is the closest to me so it's the one I usually go to. The employees are always nice and helpful. The place has a good selection of books, everything from classic novels and SciFi to diy and kid's books. The prices are pretty good, of course.

Fred Rollins

A great place for the bibliophile on a budget. The employees are helpful and the selection vast. New and used all on discount. They even have a section with books that come in autographed by the authors. With most book stores closed or overprice this place is a must.

Paul Ritzen

I was looking for a TV series show that had been off air for quite a while. It is called Eureka! They help me find season 1 by accessing the database from all their stores in the country. They found it. It was shipped right to my door. I love the way they have things laid out. If you have some old books you want to get rid of Half Price Books might buy them from you. Try them out. By the way if anybody knows where the other seasons of Eureka are I would be happy to buy them.

Kat w

Great deals on such a great variety of books, dvds, games etc.

David Seigel

Great place for those who love books! Good to great to fantastic prices. Keep in mind that as a 'half price' bookstore they don't have a complete selection, but they do have great stuff.

Michael Selman

Great 1st time experience. We took a bunch of CDs to sell. It took about 15-20 minutes & they gave us cash. We walked around as they looked though them. Fun place. We'll definitely be back.

Sondra Sings

If you can't resist a good bookstore, HPB doesn't disappoint! There is a huge selection of books from a seemingly endless number of categories. There are also movie DVDs, music CDs, vinyl records, a variety of used board games, and an extensive children's book section inclusive of babies to teens. The vibe is modern with an air of wonder usually reserved for antique book stores. If you are environmentally conscious and you don't already own or live near a "Little Free Library," be sure to check out the book buyback program (though I find reimbursement prices are more a token of thanks than a windfall...which, in turn, keeps used book prices low).

C.A. G

I sold some old books there, but they don't pay much for them; gave me $2 for them. However, I enjoyed what selection they do have. Great place to check out.

Bretty Darko

Its my favorite store. They have a lot of really good stuff. I personally hawk the discount stuff... and I always find a goodie in the mix. Really good people working there too. Always kind... even when they're slam busy.

Kevin Wood

This is a great place for buying books and music. I would not recommend selling to them, you won't get enough money to pay for the gas. Their employees are mostly friendly and helpful, but at one time they did have an arrogant hipster who thought he was on "Pawn Stars".

Scandia Siyaka

Half priced books has a lot of paperback and hardbound books, comic books, magzines, vinyal records, CDs, some movies, puzzles, games, and stationary. They have a lot of old out of print and some valuable books. They will buy your books but most times it is for pennies on the dollar. It a good place to look for books that you might be missing from a series. They also carry new and best seller books. They have a Clearance section if you are looking for a bargan. Fully vaccinated well behaved dogs on short leashes are welcome...at any rate have fun perusing the shelves

Heather Johnson

I love this place. I stopped here recently to hunt for used college books. The staff helped look up each item on my list to see if it was in house or online. She took special attention to making sure the editions were exactly what my professors required.

Charles Johnson

I have been in a lot of used book stores and this one is near the top of the list. I l be back and i live in Florida.

Keith Kansiewicz

They have a wide variety of different books, but the particular selection can be hit or miss. They also carry new and used board games. You can often find good deals, especially on sale days. I try to get over there once a month or so, but they are often overpriced for second hand items.

Gach Got It

Found several great books for only $2 each and I'm sure they change the selections out frequently. They have many topics to choose from; such as horses, tarot card reading, law, history, cooking and of course self help.

Lindsay Frank

I love this store! On the one side, I spent $35 but on the flip side I could have spent $70?? So, there's that... Anyway, I did get 5 books!

Josh Hust

If you are a book sniffer, this is your place! Massive selection of used books, vinyl, and audio books. I have to be careful when I go because I always find way more than I intended to before im ready to check out! Top shelf.

Michael Whalen

I love coming to this place when I'm in from out of town The selection is always pretty good. my only gripe is I've caught them throwing away books into the dumpster rather than trying to give them away or setting them out for free.

Linda Mooney

It's a good store for finding books and used DVDs. They buy back books and DVDs. You can use the money to shop there or get cash. Prices are real reasonable. You can call ahead and ask if they have d need have the boo

Miss Enoughsaid

I always love going to Half Price Books. Found a great book, because they have a variety, and they are easy on the pocket book.

Skyire Razgriz (TheArmoredOwl)

If you want a classic book store without the price, this is the place. Stock constantly changes, and has a good selection of D&D, Warhammer, and other Roleplaying books as well. It has something for everyone.

Beth Wienck

Amazing place for any book lover or any music/video collector. The staff is very helpful and friendly, and all is well organized! Check out their greeting card collection (cheap and oh so cute!)

granade k

Half Price Books has always been my source for lesser known and older titles, and they almost never disappoint which is genuinely impressive considering how inexpensive their books are as well. It was and continues to be a pleasant trip every time

Ayanna Montegut

I love Half-Price Books! They give you money for books you return and you can use that money towards new books and they always have interesting reads. I would 10/10 recommend.

Fyreph Jdekri

I had went here to sell some of my used video games, and I feel like I was offered a fair price for them! I also shopped around for my kids while I was there and found some great bargains! Overall very impressed!

Amanda White

A little difficult to navigate, but ended up getting my daugheter 6 or 7 books, and a dvd for $20. One of the books was clearance for $2, and ended up being a signed collecters edition. My daughter was stoked at the find, and the fact that she could spend $18 of chore money, and walked away with the 2 books she came in looking for, and a few more.

Hilda Gomez

I was highly impressed by the variety of books located within the store. Its a great affordable location to find new and gently used books from magazines, children books to college textbooks.

Jason Glynn

As a bookhound, coming here is a must... Ive found a lot of awesome stuff over the years, and the occasional hidden gem... Prices are pretty good, service is usually not bad....

Andrew Botkin

Very large selection of (primarily) used books and other media. Half price is generally about correct, with a fair avount of variance based on type of book and collectability. Great for any bibliophile trying to minimize their costs.

Carson Frank

Half Priced Books is my favorite place to go for books these days. You can find so many great deals on books that range anywhere from "very loved" to some that look unopened. Highly recommend this business!

Lewis Windham

Lots of great finds! Books, vinyl records, CDs, comics, etc. You can get treasures at reasonable prices.

Katlyne Jacobs

Every time I go there the staff are just wonderful! They are quick to help and are always friendly. They have a great selection of books and everything is priced fairly.

Dominic Mucci

This place can be hit and miss. Sometimes I'll find something interesting at a decent price and other times it just makes sense to buy new. Staff is okay at best. If your title doesnt meet their standards then expect very little help in finding it. My suggestion is browse by yourself.

C S

Love this store !!!! Books videos new and used abound. The staff is amazingly friendly and knowledge!! One of my favorite stores in all of Omaha!!! Make sure you check them out.

DD

It’s a really nice place that has all kind of new and used books for less price. Staffs are friendly and try to help when you need. The only negative thing about Half Price Books is that they have only 1 location here in Omaha.

Alex Garcia

Great selections at great prices. Found extra copies of a book for our book club, all in really good shape.

Anton Feyerherm

This is a very well organized book store I try to visit every time I go to Omaha. The prices are great and the selection is unlike most other book stores I have visited

Marlin Palasek

One of our favorite stores. Great (if unpredictable) selection at great prices. One piece of advice: if you find something interesting, get it right away. It might not be there again later.

Queen Photography

Great books, games, records, and more for really good prices. I went in for piano sheet music and they had so many options. Then I found some video games that I'd been wanting!

larry henderson

Knowledgeable people. Great staff.

Jen Kreissler

Half Price Books is a great place to linger. It's full of reasonably priced books with a great atmosphere to just wander and chill. The staff is freindly and willing to help you find what you are looking for.

Francis Angelo Hauptman

I like Half Price Books not only for the friendly and more than happy to help staff members, and that they have a wide selection of new and used books, CD's, DVD's, and I believe vinyl, but because when I'm done reading my books, they no longer have to sit around the house collecting dust on a bookshelf like some kind of trophy. I can can sell them (back) to Half Price Books so that not only can I make an extra few dollars, but someone else gets to enjoy them too. The employee that helped me when I sold my old books told me that they buy not just books. If it was recorded in any matter, Half Price Books will buy it. Definitely a "must go to" store when it comes to used books.

Neal Hoesing

Variety of books and texts,as well as cds and vinyl. A thriving, friendly place.

Brian Addison

This store is one of my favorite places. I never leave without finding something. Staff is always helpful and service with a smile.

Chad P

I will stop in at least once every couple of weeks to visit their bargain section. I love to discover new authors and educate myself. All for a couple $'s per visit I can continually add to my personal library.

Ali Karji

Just sold some books here. Before coming to the store, I read some reviews about the people who were unhappy selling their books. Well, I would say in my case at least I'm not unhappy. I received $65 for the books that I had purchased $135.

morgan harris

One of my all time favorite book stores. Everything is pretty easy to find, and it's usually pretty cozy, when it's not crowded. I also like that you can sell your books, magazines, movies, and records here too.

Stacy Christensen

The cashier that I've had the last two times has made my visit amazing!!! She's always singing and upbeat and happy!! She should be the employee of the century!!!!

Adam _

Great selection in wonderful shape. Clean and full of variety. My new favorite books store. They also have comics, records, tapes, movies, and magazines.

Aaron Lichtas

I got here about every few weeks to update my book collections. They are very organized and clean. Friendly staff and very helpful!

Sharon Carr

Great deals and a variety of discount gems. Also, 2020 update, they are doing wonderfully with social distancing and mask wearing at this location. Organized and very professional.

Brett Scollard

For being a store that sells used books, they had a fantastic selection, it was nice the organized, and the prices were amazing. This is a must visit place for any bibliophile.

Tim Schendel

Wonderful selection of books. Polite and helpful staff. Clean and organized store

Aleatha Mohler

They have a great variety of books at a great price. I enjoy coming here.

Mary Porter

They didn't have what I needed but the staff are always SO helpful. I will definitely keep coming back.

Growth Development

Good selection, firm on price. Sign says masks required but it's not enforced..

Sandra Luding

Big selection of many genres. Some reference is older editions, but overall a good book, music & video store. I would definitely recommend.

Patricia MčCutcheon

Took books to sell, was extremely disappointed by what I was paid but it is what it is. They were much larger than I expected and have a huge variety. I'd recommend it if you're looking for books but to sell, I may check other places.

Kevin Gans

Very different but cool place for books and some old skool things if your my age you might have forgotten about then when you see it takes you back to when times were great nice place to sell items you cant get off on social media they buy what you would least expect and they stay pretty fair

Monica P

Great selection. Prices are fair for used books & less than what you would pay on Amazon or Ebay. Clean store & well organied. Staff is friendly.

Frank Connor

Great, fair place. Keep up the excellent work. But do not throw old books away, donate them, please.

Brooke Koller

It's a good book store. I haven't frequented it enough. I have a lot of CDS, DVDS, and Vinyl records that I don't need or want anymore, that I could be selling to them, and getting money for.

Damien White

As soon as I entered I was in a wonderland. Books, magazines, dvds, vhs, they had everything and anything wonderful. Definitely a 5 star experience. I bought H.P. Lovecraft's complete collection for $35!

Blake K

Love this store! The only problem is when I go there I want to buy more books that I cannot read… cause I have too many on my list!

Buttons

My favorite book store in the Omaha metro. A little bit of anything and everything in here for pretty decent prices. I really like their ever changing inventory, something new every week keeps me coming back.

damon peters

Great place for picking up well curated assortment. Excellent opportunity to recycle part of my own collection of books. Fast turn around of books I brought in for evaluation.

Mike Colbert

I like to go here and browse every once in awhile to see what they have. I cant always find something I'm interested in, but thats the nature of a used book store.

Katrina Schmidt

I love this bookstore, they have so much to choose from and great prices. They also are very fair with the amount when you sell them your books.

Ky Robbins

Awesome store, friendly staff, and have a large selection of books, movies, records, and CDs. For the most part the prices are very reasonable.

Elizabeth Charbonneau

Good books, decent prices, helpful staff. They usually don't offer enough for book sales to make it worth your time to sell to them.

Mindful Mama (Ms T)

Prices are fair and good parking. It's a little busy on a weekend but not a long wait to check out. The books are good quality for the price.

Jerry Tyrrell

The staff is friendly. The market for used books and DVDs has really dropped so when you take these into the store be prepared it will be a smaller amount you will get for them.

Rach D

Great selection of books and they are pretty cheap! This is where we get most of our little kid books, that way I don't have to feel as bad when they get destroyed.

Paula Khatchatourian

Great prices , people are super sweet and helpful and there kind to people with service animals which is very much appreciated😊😊😊 …

Jamie Jorgensen

Was glad they took the set of encyclopedias that we had. Didn't get much for them but at least I dont have them anymore. Lots of books to purchase. Decent prices.

Rebecca Sundermeier

Quite the library of books at a reasonable price

Tom Stewart

Always nice to be there. Great people and selection

Bepin Mgushi

This place has a great selection of all kinds of books. Prices could be cheaper but still beat any online retailer; and this is best way to shop for books. Its a great place.

Lexi Hess

Love this bookstore,very helpful book lovers work here! If they don't carry what you are looking for, they can most likely get it ordered for you.

Camille Hussmann

Good place to get good price on used books, can find all kinds of books here along with games and movies. Parking can be a pain and it can get crowded fast but you will most likely find what you are looking for for a good price

Samm Ontiveros

Fantastic book selection! Sometimes the staff can be rude, like they just don't have the time for you or to answer any questions. They act like you're putting them out.

Toni Mosley

It was a very nice place to visit. They have book's of all kinds.

Vinnie Oliver

This place has always been a great place to find books. They do not rush you to get your books and leave. I have found many hard to find books at the store. They are a true cornerstone of any metro area.

Bruce H

Great place to buy used book, CDs, LPs, and DVDs. Also a good place to sell them too. Children's section. Bathrooms. A few chairs to sit in while waiting to get paid for your sales. Friendly staff.

P H

Man... Books are just great. They got pages and bindings... Even some words here or there. Honestly just something people in America need to spend more time with. Id recommend everyone go grab a cheap book from there and give reading a shot! You know... Reading that isnt 4chan or fb memes.

ed merkle

They will give you ca$h for your books and some magazines that you would normally recycle or donate. It takes a little time but it is worth it and you can shop for new books while you wait.

Eric Jefferies

Good selection of used music, movies, comics and books. Sale prices are fair, so trade-in values for things you sell them are low. Oh well.

Terry Thompson

Always a joy. How do they always have what I need, amazing

M P

One of my favorite places to frequent in Omaha. A huge selection of books, board games, music, and more. Check their website before visiting for any coupons for buying or selling.

Brooklynn Cozad

I dont think there's ever been a time when I haven't found something. Huge selection and they bring out lots of uncommon horror movies around Halloween.

Chocfoo

Love this store. Great books, tons of selections. Great movie and comic selection too. All very affordable. Check out journals and stationary.

Jerry Ward

Found some Manga books for my step son! Huge selection of books, games, toys, ect. One of kind shopping experience for all.

Stranger Bus

They have very good books. Lots of Pops including stranger things. CDs and movies are also here. But couldn't say everything here is half priced...

Kevin Collins

It's OK, it's always fun to browse old books and records and maybe find a gem. It is insane the profit margin this place must have, they might sell a "used" book maybe 50 to 70% off for $10.00. They probably paid $1.00 for it.

Kathleen McGlynn

Always busy because of the great deals on your favorite book, but definitely worth going! Love, love, love, my Half Price Bookstore staff, they are ready & willing to help#

Stephanie H (Stephsat)

New books, CDs, albums, all half price today everything is additionally 20% off. I got a gift card for Xmas and it came with 2 $5 off a single purchase after the 1st

Wesley Hall

I got $4 for books my wife spent $400 for! That's better than nothing! I saw many books I would have bought, but I didn't have the spare cash. Okay okay, I didn't have my wife's permission!

Jesse Sinyster

They buy used books, really smooth experience. The shop is huge and picked up an old comic for a $0.78 that completed more of my wolverine collection

Dee Patrick

Really nice place to shop for books! Staff is helpful, it's laid back and the selection is pretty good. It's nice that there is an alternative to Barnes and Nobles in SouthWest Omaha. Check it out!

Adam Anderson

I know that paper books are on their way out, but I just can't get use to battery powered books. The books are first come first serve at half the price. Plenty of varieties to choose from and great prices.

Amanda Lea

This is a great place to books, games and movies. If you always prefer the hard copy of books but don't want to pay the expensive price, this place is a good option.

James Springs

Very good selection of mostly used books. They also sell a few collectable items, including vinyl records. Good prices on books.

Julian brousseau

Best kind of atmosphere they don't bother you if you don't need help and answer all your questions if you do. Wish was more the 5 stars

Wm Marunda

Great selection of new and used books, movies and comic books. No changes since previous trip

Joshua Howell

Be wary of what you take to HPB for cash. They will try to convince you to take less for rare items if they think you don't know better. Otherwise, they have a nice variety if gifts and graphic novels

Tina Brisbois

Went for my son and we liked it a lot. Nice selection also

Fit Livity Studio

My favorite book store! I love that I can find newer books for a fair price. Staff is always helpful and friendly.

H L DeBlanche

Great selection and friendly staff. They ordered a book I was looking for and it came quickly.

Great books at such great prices. But don't forget about their fine selection of records, DVDs, CDs, and board games

Alvin Lugod

The staff were nice and helpful. The place was surprisingly very busy for a new year's day. It's well organized and clean.

Jason Weaver

This store is far nicer inside than I would have imagined. It's very well organized and seems to have very reasonable prices. Super packed with people on a weekend afternoon.

Michael Barnes

They have a great selection of books. If you're looking for something specific, you may not always find it, but what do you expect? It's a used book store.

Charles Earhart

Great place, and always very friendly! One issue I have is that many video games are vastly overpriced. They also give you very little for trade-ins.

Tom Worcester

Amazing store. Like gamers but for books CDs movies puzzles and notepads. Cant beat the prices.

Patrick Miner

Always interesting finds in here. Some rare or unique books make good hunting for collectors and gift givers. Staff is always friendly.

jack jewell

Love it, look around, fun

Jean Cappellano

Love this place new and used books dont have it they try and get it other gifts to DVDs, journals, albums, they also buy

Jim H

Unlike HPBs elsewhere, no place to sit or coffee for patrons. If I come in with my wife, she's apt to buy more if I'm comfortable with my quick purchase while she ... shops ... and shops ... and shops.

Jason “jaysinister” Keene

Well they had a ridiculous amount of obscure punk and goth type music fir really cheap. Also a bunch of movies and TV series for a couple bucks such as the complete Daria series, etc. And of course books galore. Huge metaphysical section. Lots of classics . Just not what I expected in a strip mall type place

Tyler Huff

Always a good selection including new items as well! You can trade in just about any readable items, including magazines. Love this place!

George KItkowski

Enjoy this bookstore and have gone here for years however they do not give anything for books to buy back.Hope the store well be able to stay in bussness.

I can absolutely get lost in this store. The staff didn't know where the books I was looking for were but there was a really helpful customer who nailed it!

FC S

The offer they give on the books is shameful. Won't be back

I just can't resist a good used bookstore. They accept used books, they sell used DVDs and BLU Rays, too. Fun place to browse.

Justin Dickinson

Great selection.

Mary Borchert

For buying books, it's great!! For selling your books, don't expect to get more than a nickel or dime per book. They don't pay much for most books.

Kelley Jorgensen

Amazing selection. I came in for one and left with 4. As always!

Mike McDonald

Fantastic place for books and other related items. Highly recommend you try Half Price Books if you're looking for anything of the sort.

This is one cool book store. And they're dog friendly. Way cooler than barnes and noble, and nowhere near as pretentious.

At first i thought they were great but they became where they dont want to pay for my merchandise time and gas just treating a guy like a second hand thrift shop...pennies

Good deals on books all the time something for everyone!

Loads of books, they are not the least expensive, compared to on-line book sellers, which offer free shipping , I do enjoy the in-store experience.

Marissa Andrews

Absolutely love the variety! Also during these times they are being extra safe and taking care of everyone - even limiting shopping times!

Favorite place to go, no matter the day or time. Big store, there really is something here for everyone, plus they have good prices and their clearance prices are impossible to resist. I will always come here.

We always leave with great books and activities... It's nice that we can resell books we are done with, although we always spend more than we make here.

Stacy W

Great selection of books with awesome prices.

Rhonda Hall

I like to buy books there. To sell books, you usually don't get your money's worth. I would honestly rather donate them for what HPB offers.

James M M Baldwin

Fun place. They don't have all the books I want, just many. Mostly good used books, some overstocks. Something for everyone.

Casey Jones

Awesome place for media nerds. Books Vinyl. Comics, CD's.,BLU-RAY.

Vast selection, books are incredibly inexpensive, and good condition. Must stop for book lovers

I often buy books and often do not finish them. This place allows me to indulge myself in that fantasy- now I have literally hubdreds of books that I haven't so much as read the back of. Beauriful.

Melody Summers

Just out shopping for deals. I enjoyed a pleasant, relaxing, great experience, for a change.

Dawn Wagner

Not sure why I drive across town with a box of movies to sell and they offer me $2. I understand that they need to sell them too but really??

Cool books, there is something for everyone. They're a great part of the community and I could lose an entire afternoon in this store!

Great place if you read as much as I do and have to stay on budget. Well organized and clean. Staff was very polite and helpful.
