I have been taken to task by my good friend in Indy. She was very disappointed that while I did say to visit your local used book store when searching for Xmas gifts, I did not give a "shout-out" on behalf of Half Price Books. This is where she currently works, and yes, dear readers, it is the used book store where I worked so many years ago, the very same one that I've referred to from time to time here on this blog. In the spirit of Christmas, and really - because I still do believe that they are THE best used book store in the USA - here's all you'd ever need to know about HPB!
They currently have over 100 store locations scattered in the following states: Arizona, California, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas, Washington, and Wisconsin. They buy and sell used materials, basically anything printed or recorded, as well as remainder items. They have it all - hardbacks, paperbacks, children's books, CDs, DVDs, calendars, note cards, little stocking stuffers, etc. We even had some 8-track tapes when I worked there, if you can imagine that! They also have some great cloth bags for sale (or at least, I sure hope they do!).
Please visit their website, http://www.halfpricebooks.com/, for more information regarding specific store locations and hours, as well as everything else about the company. If you're lucky enough to live in a state with a store (or stores), go check them out - you won't be sorry! And no, I have not been paid anything for this endorsement, just in case you're wondering. I do it out of the goodness of my heart, and out of a genuine fondness for my 4 1/2 years with the company. And if Boots should be reading this, PLEASE OPEN A STORE NEAR CHARLOTTE, NC! It's all I want for Christmas...
