I have loved this store since I was young. You never know what you're going to find! It's the best when you have some time to go and search around in a few categories for some new books.

I've been to many different half price books, all over, I love this store, but this one seems like maybe it is just a product of it's environment, Brookfield WI, which is a pretty rich area, so maybe the prices reflect that? I don't know, the selection is pretty standard, but if the price was to low at half, they marked it up quite a bit.. not sure how they decided that either, as not every low price qualified.. it was weird.

A wide variety of books and amazing prices! Finding specific books can be hit or miss, but if you're just doing some general browsing this is the place for you!! I have also sold books here on a few occasions - I get reasonable offers for what I sell to them, and it is significantly easier and quicker than selling books on eBay. HPB will help you declutter your shelves just as much as they will help fill them back up again!

I always enjoy browsing around this store. They have great deals on new and used books, and you can find interesting board games here as well.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Questions & Answers

Do they take comic books

Dale Laumann | Jan 22, 2021
richard feldschneider | Jan 23, 2021

Yes they do!

Do they still buy used books?

Kailey Frederick | Jan 23, 2018
Jim Hayes | Jan 24, 2018

Yes, but as others have said, the offers have have been very low. For example, they offered less for a group of books and magazines less than what their sign said they would pay for the current magazines. We think its more product to donate books to the library.

are the stores accepting our used books?

Lauretta Huston | Jan 22, 2021
Matt Welter | Jan 23, 2021

Yes. Keep them in your car, walk in, and let them know what you have.

Do you look to see if the books people bring in are of value? Brought in art books that had real value and was offered scrap value. Everyone has to make a profit but it strikes me as not a very honest place to do business.

Leslie Peterson | Jan 23, 2020
Ruth Arnell | Jan 24, 2020

They review the value of each book, and make their offer according to what it's worth, and what they think they can sell it for and still make a profit. If you want to keep more of the actual listed value you'll probably want to sell them to a buyer directly. You might try eBay or Facebook Marketplace?

Why are bible prices so high some prices are 10 percent lower than buying the bible new? Where's the deal?

Milan Eccher | Jan 23, 2018
Jim Hayes | Jan 24, 2018

Not everything is a deal. Sounds like you're being smart shopper.

Honestly, fantastic, they require masks obv, they take distancing seriously, and on especially busy days they set up a queue to enter to limit people in the store

I am down sizing. Books galore to sell. All in Excellent condition. Do I put them together according to the subject? How much will I be paid?

Dee H | Jan 23, 2021

True. Also if you live in or near the Milwaukee area, you can do the same with the used bookstore Bargain Bookstore on Broadway and Wisconsin Ave. I just sold them 100 books, mostly nonfiction, and some CDs. I chose store credit but money for your books is available. Good luck.

I have dvds in their cases- excellent condition- watched once. About 100 of them. How do I box them & how much might I receive for them?

I would suggest Mega media xchange on in Brookfield or even there new store in Franklin.. You would most likely get more than Half Price

I have Easton press series hard cover books. Is this something that they would buy?

Jessica Dominguez | Jan 22, 2021
Steven T Ulatt | Jan 23, 2021

Yes, but you won't get the best price. Also, you need to call and make an appointment...

riyah | Jan 23, 2019
Kimoi Vaun | Jan 24, 2019

the titles vary by location as most of their inventory is dependent on donations and people selling to them, so yes, calling would be best.

I am settling a rather large estate and have very many antique books; some from the early 1900s and one set of leather bound from 1804. Do you buy high end books or can you redirect me?

Lee Ann Kasper | Jan 23, 2019
Terry Klewicki | Jan 24, 2019

In all honesty, Half Price Books is a great resource if you're an avid reader, but I doubt you'll get any real value selling rare books here. I don't know a place locally, but you'd be best off Googling for a place that specializes in rare books.

You'll need to call the store and ask them directly so they can check their stock and let you know.
