Half Price Books, Cincinnati OH

It's pretty cool everything is labeled and in alphabetical order if they got it you will find it

It's a pretty good place to go and you can find some unusual items here, including some nice surprises on board games. If you're browsing, you're likely going to find something of interest, even if you weren't looking for something specific. Also, the store is clean, including the restrooms, and the staff is friendly. If they only had a coffee bar.

Selling media here is iffy, if you're looking to maximize what you get for selling them, but it's still better than nothing or putting them on ebay and going through the hassle to ship a book you only received a dollar for or holding a garage sale. I don't consider it a negative, as long as you are aware of this (and you don't have to take their offer, either).

It's a nice place to go to browse and waste time. Some ok deals here, and a pretty good selection of older movies and books here too. Prices are high considering everything is used, but sometimes you can find things that are harder to find elsewhere. Don't buy items you could normally get at a Target or Walmart as you can likely find brand new items cheaper at these places than you can buy used here.

I love to buy here. The selection is huge and the staff knowledgeable and friendly. They have books, music, assorted other merch. Everything is logically organized so you can find what you're looking for. I like the children' section, too. I always end up buying more than I went in for.
Four stars instead of five because selling books here is a little disappointing. You don't get much for books, even for current best-selling hardcover books. I know that's how they can sell books as cheaply as they do, but it's still a bit disappointing for a seller.

Very good selection of books. Prices are ok. Many are used. They will buy some of your old books. Very selective about this however. Do not pay very much.

I don’t suggest shopping at this store or with their company. Apparently if you have a medical condition or disability that prevents you from wearing a mask they don’t allow you to shop there. I walked in with a mask on my husband didn’t who has a medical condition that prevents him from wearing one. An employee stopped him asked if he had a mask he said no she said he couldn’t shop with out one I stated he has a medical condition that prevents it she said it doesn’t matter their company policy is everyone has to have one on to shop. This is discrimination at its finest!

Editing from 5 stars. This place has gone super downhill. The fact that they downsized their philosophy section and mixed it in with Paranormal Works and Conspiracy Theories tells you everything you need to know about where this stores metaphorical head is at. When I asked where Plato works were just to find the tiny shelf I was asked what that was. I'll gatekeep here. If you don't know Plato you shouldn't be working in a book store as his work is underlining philosophy as a genre. I also want surprised this is one of the only stores to "require" a mask while inside this far out of covid. The times we live in are ones where our book store employees are more uneducated than your local Kroger store employees.

My son and I love books so we enjoy Half Price Books and spend a lot of time in the store browsing when we go.

I found a movie I love in the discount bin for $1 they also have some vintage Dungeons & Dragons books and lots of other really cool stuff

Half Price Books always has a great selection of books and DVDs. Their trinket selection is fun. Staff is helpful!

Great selection. Well organized categories. Store is well lit and easy to move around in Enough space for social distancing. For your shopping safety. My two photos show some of many items available to purchase for children. They have other items for sale besides books. There is an area with discounted books for sale at a lower price.

Great selection, wide variety, helpful staff. Prices very fair, especially for the condition of their inventory.

Not only will they give you next to nothing for the things you bring in, but now you can only bring things in during a four hour window in the middle if the workday. This would be a great place to open up a used book store.

Amazing store with a vast collection with fantastic employees. I always make it a point to go whenever I am in the area

They were very patient and understanding.i had never sold before so i left thinking they would call me when they were ready.i called about a week later and the manager had answered the phone.she explained the process politely and allowed me to get a receipt and cash for my books that were technically “abandoned”. The guy i picked them up from was also polite and made sure the clerk gave me a coupon!

The book we needed was transferred so quickly and got us ready for the school year. Great place for books

It was degrading and unkind experience. I have asthma and COPD, wearing a mask is not an option for me. I wanted to surprise my husband with a new Bible. I walked into the store a clerk yells across the store that I need a mask. I tried to explain that I have asthma and copd. She replied that it didnt matter that they require mask to shop. That I could shop online. I said that's on I will just go elsewhere. She said across the store once more fine you can call customer service if I wanted. No I just wanted to leave. She made me feel horrible. I dont go shopping much because of my health and to be told it didnt matter was not a very nice way of explaining police. The whole time she is yelling across the store she has her mask pulled down away from her mouth and nose. As for me and my family I will be getting my books somewhere they value all cistomers

My daughter loves going to Half Price Books for her manga books! They have really great prices and any category you can think of! My son likes going for the funko pops they usually have!

Great store. Excellent customer service. Employee was very helpful and knowledgeable. Even ten mins before closing, he was still very friendly and helpful, not rushed or irritated about people still shopping. I don't know his name but he was working 09/16/20 @ close (cashier: NChr129). I want to commend him for his top notch customer service skills and professional attitude. Also, it was great to see a business like 1/2 price books still operating during these questionable times. It's been a long time since I've been to one but the store was very clean and organized, safety protocols were in place & being adhered to.
