I travel all around so I've seen practically every Half Priced Books location in the Midwest, so finding a location which was an outlet I'd never been to enticed me to travel out to see it.
I've always found Half Priced to have high quality used books, with the rare water damage or sun damage but always cleaned up as best you can for their presentation on the shelf.

They have videos and music at discount prices. My son and I really enjoy the childrens selection and that's always a...
