Half Price Books

Great used book store. Seem to have almost anything for relaxing, whether that is recreational or educational they have a good selection

I love this chain no matter where I go! The Independence location employees are always friendly and helpful. The selection almost always has what I'm looking for. The store is clean and always a wonderful atmosphere!

Half Price Books is one of those places I went to more often than I actually do. I probably think about going down just to browse once a week, but only end up going once every two or three months. It's a shame, because this well-kept, clean, and friendly location always gives me something fun or cherished to walk away with. Great vinyl collection, and the standard book inventory you'd expect. Also a handsome clearance section where there are lots of great deals. Don't sleep on HPB!

So, first time customer...the place is like walking into Ross but with books BUT the difference is everyone from employee to customer is SUPER nice! Even a lot of the customers can help you find a book your looking for. The prices are amazing AND you can trade in your already read books for store credit, (maybe cash too...I'm not sure) you can also trade in your old legos! Barnes and noble closed down so I went here... hands down best decision ever!
