Half Price Books Decatur

I'd heard you could find some interesting things at Half Priced Books and had been meaning to eventually find out. So color me surprised when I happened to be in the area with an hour to kill with the wife. Now I wasn't expecting much from a used book store that dabbles in video games, comics, music and other collectibles, and what was there met those expectations. The used books were the main focus, and there was as good a selection as used book store could have, but with my limited time, I browsed over the games, comics, and figures. Prices were okay, nothing too over priced, nothing you're gonna get a crazy deal on. Just good old fashioned business. I had a good little time browsing over what I did, and if I'm ever back in the area, I may stop back in and take some more time to scout things out. Side note: the store associates in general were pleasant enough, but who I assume might be the store manager or team lead, short persnickety guy with glasses, who I happened to greet as he was coming out from the employee area, gave me a sideways glance with no greeting in kind. Must have been busy. He wasn't too busy to be condescending to his staff though. You can hear a lot in this place. Quiet as a library. And he wasn't shy about being heard, flexing his middle management power for the smallest micro managing power trips to get through the day. Crazy work.

This is one of my go to place when I want a teacher discount or looking for a good bargain. I love that they have new and used books to buy. This place reminds me of the now defunct Hastings bookstore in Yuma, Arizona, where you can buy books, cds, and vinyls. It's clean and organized in there, so it is pretty relaxing to browse through the selections. The staff is pretty friendly as well.

This store is wonderful!! I cannot wait to go again. They have a very good selection of used/ discounted books, board games and so much more. They also have a good selection of new release books. They have a corner in the back with new and used kids books. That was wonderful. They offer a a small selection of old Nintendo games at reasonable prices. The store was easy to navigate.

Great place, they have a TON of interesting books on their shelves for very cheap prices. They did kick me out very promptly 5 minutes before closing but i bet they just wanted to go to home after a long day. You'll be able to find books on a ton of topics but you probably won't be able to find specific books unless you are lucky. Great place to browse!
