This location has a decent selection of books and movies. Parking is convenient, and it's nice that there are other useful shops nearby.nnOverall, I don't like this location as much as the other locations in town; it's noisier, more cluttered, and just doesn't seem as welcoming as the other Columbus locations. The employees always seem to be talking to each other about something and don't seem approachable. They just don't seem to be as professional here.nnOverall though, it's a decent enough store. I will say that the employees DO keep the shelves very well organized. I never see anything out of place. In that regard, this location is excellent.
Easily the best HPB in the central ohio area. The selection of both clearance and non is huge and well organized. As far as I can tell, the employees are consistent and enjoy their jobs, making their helpfullnes above the rest. I go here roughly once a week to browse their new stuff and always leave with a good haul.
I wasn’t sure how Half Price Books worked until I got inside just out of curiosity: I will always avoid going to bookstores just because I’ll be spending a lot of money there.nnAnd here it was not different: a variety of good books divided by genre, most of them very well conserved, which makes your money worth it. If you do have something you want to read in physical book, I would go there first. Prices can be off from regular and new books for about 40%! At least the type of reading I’m used to.nnThey also have a huge collection of CDs and vinyls, which make the visit even more worth it!
It's getting to be a little more expensive than half price. More like 75% priced. And the staff is really uptight and edgy. Not edgy in a cool way, edgy in a frantic nervous way about people being in their store. Especially children. They are fairly intolerant of children.
A great location for books, games, puzzles and other treasures. We saw lots of local community items. Would recommend a visit.
