“I live no where near this location but I sure will be marching my tail back there purely for the service I received today. I had 2 associates help me dig through the kids section for a very specific Pokémon book. One of the ladies was DETERMINED and she found it in the back ??!! Thank you for being so nice and helpful. 10/10”
“Well organized, large variety of books, helpful friendly staff. The books are gently used and reasonably priced. AND they will give you a purchase quote for books you bring in that you no longer want.”
“I had a good time here. It was extremely clean and well kept.
I didn't need an employees help, but i did over hear an employee helping someone else and they were so kind and willing to help.”
“I love that they have story time for the little ones on Saturday mornings and then an activity follows. I love walking into the children's section because it feels like you are walking into a fairytale land. I absolutely love it. They also have an amazing selection of adult books, magazines, and games as well. There isn't really seating but you can absolutely sit on the ground and crack open the book you are about to buy. The children's area does have a little bit of seating.”
“Shop owner was such a cool guy. We talked about comics, classic Godzilla movies, and his collection of Heavy Metal magazines! Will definitely come back for more!”
“Love this location! There's an excellent selection of books and games and I was given a fair price for all the books I sold. The children's section is cozy and full of great books from my childhood.”
“Excellent Customer service, very patient and helpful. They have a good variety of Bibles, including super giant print, which was what we were looking for; also books in Spanish, and gifts of all kinds.”
“Half Price Books is always such a fun place to explore, and my latest visit was one of the best yet. I went in hoping to find a few specific titles — books by Napoleon Hill and Dale Carnegie — and was thrilled to spot them both on the shelves. On top of that, I found two Xbox games in great condition at a price you really can’t beat. That combination of books, games, and surprises is exactly why I love shopping here.
Every trip feels like a treasure hunt. The selection covers just about everything: classic and modern literature, self-improvement, history, cookbooks, kids’ books, vinyl records, puzzles, movies, and video games. You never know what you’ll find, but you can always count on the prices being fair and affordable. Their clearance section is a hidden gem on its own.
I also appreciate that Half Price Books buys items directly from the community. It’s a great way to recycle books, movies, and games, while also getting a little cash or store credit to discover something new.
The staff are always friendly, approachable, and quick to help with questions or recommendations. The store is clean, well-organized, and welcoming — perfect for browsing at your own pace.
If you’re a bookworm, gamer, or collector, Half Price Books is a must-visit. Affordable, sustainable, and always rewarding!”

“Absolutely amazing! When you walk in it’s an immediate vibe shift from the crazy world to this serine safe place !Hands of magic ! And I love that her Products are all natural ! This is a scared place not like most massage parlors ! It’s an experience !”
“Returning to Half Price Books after what felt like an eternity, I was immediately struck by the sheer volume of organized chaos—or rather, a perfectly curated world of stories and melodies. It's a place where you can find anything from a first edition of a literary classic to a vintage vinyl record that you're pretty sure you saw in a dream once. For those looking to declutter their shelves, they offer an excellent buyback service. Just have a valid ID Beyond the impressive inventory, the staff is a true standout. They are not only courteous and helpful but also possess an almost mythical ability to navigate and maintain order among thousands upon thousands of books, DVDs, and CDs. Honestly, how they manage to keep everything so neat and organized is a feat of modern engineering and deserves a Nobel Prize in Logistics.
I left not only with a few interesting treasures but also with a renewed respect for the human spirit's capacity to categorize and alphabetize. This store is a treasure trove, and the people who run it are nothing short of magical.”

“Definitely the nicest shop’s I’ve been in. So much to look at. Staff was friendly.I’m sorry I didn’t take a photo of inside the shop but check out the outside of the shop. Just peaceful and beautiful.”
“The people there are friendly and try to help, but not always helpful. We were looking at a book for my 13 y/o son in the young readers section. The cover looked very suggestive so I ask what age is this book/ section appropriate. They said there's wifi. I should just look at the book on the Internet and see if it was appropriate or not ?. In the end my instinct was right it was for really 17+..… We didn't buy that book.”

“My favorite place to end each week. Pastor Rick is awesome, and his wife Cindy AMAZING.
I attend church as well as the yearly "Chosen" Women's conference and that is phenomenal. If you don't go to church, you may want to join us for the Chosen bc the Testimonies are life-changing.
If you are looking for a church- Summit is it, they are so excited to see you every week. They are all so inviting and loving. I've been to my share of church's but there isn't one like Summit. You aren't just a body, you are SOMEBODY here.
The little girls up front in one of my pictures just melted my heart, seeing her worship was breathtaking ❤️”
“What a wonderful place and event to be involved and invited too. I really enjoyed it. The book cellar is a very nice place to go for books and gifts of books for that special friend. You’ll find a genre for them and also kids as well at a low low low fraction/bargain of the price. Please visit the book cellar located in the basement of the library. Dive into the many rows of used and non used books they have for sale and emerge yourself into reading again. Hours are limited but it’s so worth it.”

“My family and I were at the mall for a birthday party. We found this bookstore, and went inside. We decided to get two devotionals... one for my son and one for my daughters. As we were leaving, one of the workers looked right at me and said "Stop worrying". She said God put it on her heart to tell me to stop worrying, and that everything was going to be okay. I had never seen this lady before, I wasn't acting like I was worrying, I was actually having a good day... which has been pretty rare the past few weeks. However, God used her to give me a message. I can't stop thinking about it. I am so appreciative.This lady doesn't know that it was my dad and his twin brother's birthday, but they died... and I was struggling. She doesn't know that I am in a job that is leaving me so drained, and trying to find a new one that is better for my family. She doesn't know that I am having physical symptoms from stress. She doesn't know that I am healing from a major trauma that happened last year, and it has been so rough and painful. God does though. He used her to tell me not to worry and He has me.So needless to say, I definitely recommend this bookstore. Lol”
“I always try to give positive reviews for bookstores that I connect with. I work for Novel House Publishing and this is one of the bookstores we are considering, I did go by looks legitimate, and as great as Barnes and Nobles ”
“I'm a Cardinal! I think the world of my school. lol! Go Cards! But realistically this is a great school. The level of support you get here is bananas. I love that I'm literally just a quick drive away.”
“During my visit to Trinity University, I explored the store and found an array of beautiful options. The staff members were incredibly helpful and accommodating throughout my time there.”
“Place was easy to find & even though email from online order doesn't mention curbside pick up, they have it. Just park in designated pick up spot & call”

“If you are looking for a local Christian store in San Antonio, Texas then stop by and take a look at Jehova Nissi Christian Store small but with a Big Heart to Serve the LORD!”
“Had a wonderful experience 9/28/2024 at Rolling Hills Location! Staff was super helpful & kind definitely good prices & fair! They are seasonal & love the Godzilla, Wizard Of Oz, Gay, Harry Potter selections.”
“This school has a majority of health careers available and I must say they are very thorough and how they teach their programs. If you don't fit the bill they will make you repeat it. But all in all it is a very worthwhile school and has much to offer. I don't regret any of my time there looking back. And they have a great bunch of counselors to advise you on your programs.”

“My journey to Nowhere…
If you haven’t ventured into Nowhere Bookshop, you need to add it to your list of San Antonio gems to explore.
From sea monsters who wind ‘round book cases to enchanted animals who wear decadent jewelry and funny hats, tiny worlds on the shelves, wizards, pigs that fly and giant masked cats —- you are in for an adventure.
The staff is friendly, helpful and informative.
And the owner is an amazing author who I very much look forward to meeting.
I left, in fact, with one of her books.
You’ll also want to see her exquisite handmade paper dresses which are currently on display.
I cannot wait to return with my little one, Aiden who already believes it’s a magic shop because of the Harry Potter owls who live in the window.
Thank you for sharing the shop’s beautiful unique story, Paul.
It was a pleasure.
