Half-Price Books is the shit!

How cool is it when you walk in, head to your favorite section and find three books right next to each other that you want?

They never have the anything by Oscar Acosta or Hunter S. Thompson. They have popular shit, but never the obscur shit I like. I still enjoy their store.

Half Price Books owns Barnes and Noble

I think I saw at least one HST book tonight.

It was @ the location on Bandera/1604. Journalism section in the back, left-hand side of the store.

I have a lot of his stuff, I'm looking for stuff like Screwjack, Hell's Angels and the Rum Diaries. Usually, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and his recent works get picked up the fastest. Luckily I already have copies of those.

College bookstore are a rip-off. That is why I never sold any of my textbooks back. I'd rather keep them than sell them back for a couple of bucks. I guess the rely on broke ass college students to sell them back for beer cash.

Has anyone been to that old Just for Feet on 281/Bitters? It's a book store now, with nothing over $5. They're new books, too. Lots of computer books, cook books, etc. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

It's been there for about 5 months.

Half price books is great...I actually used gift certificates from them for last Christmas' stocking stuffers...everyone that got them loved it as well.

But I got one better:

At the HPB on Broadway there is another book store behind it that specializes in obsucre and out-of-print books. That is if it is still in business.

There's another little place like that that I've been going to since I was 12 ... she gives you credits for books you bring back in where you're done. :)

You're also a rich dentist.

If I really want Starbucks badly, I'll buy my books - then pick up a dead cat and throw it. Wherever it lands - there's a a Starbucks.

Well, we only have 2 of them here and then have 2 in stores.

I was rich, but Duff and my sports book have all my money now.

HPB is great for buying...if you can find what you're looking for. But they suck when you want to sell them books. They offered me $7 for 10 brand new books that were never read. I said forget it.
