Half Price Books
Half Price Books is one of our favorite places in the city. This store is huge — they have a book for you no matter what your interests. You could spend hours and hours just looking around.
Not only that, they also have a healthy selection of vinyl and CDs. This is a great place to come for records especially — along with obscure wax, they also have popular albums from back in the day.
Everything is very well-organized and easy to find. You can’t, however, call ahead to see if a particular title is in stock. Since people are bringing in books and other media daily to sell, there’s no way for them to keep an inventory.
A couple of more tips: If you’re looking for a particular author, you’ll not only find titles by that author under his or her name, but you’ll also find books about that author and edited collections of their work. If they don’t have a title that you’re looking for, ask them at the counter in the back of the store. Though they won’t be able always be able to tell you, it might happen that that title has just passed through someone’s hands and they know where to locate it.
