I have been visiting Half Price Bookstore in Orland park for the last 10 years probably. I am someone who still love the feel of a book. I work with computers so I am constantly looking at it and also my phone. So I want to feel a book in my hand and turn the pages but I dont want to spend a fortune on new books. I know..I know..Im frugal because I also browse the clearance section. But how am I going to try every genre of books if Im constantly paying $20 a book! So I get the clearance books and try all the ones I like. Ive actually gotten some great reads if it wasnt for clearance! If youre in the Orland park location and a music, book, game, movie lover.... definitely stop by. There are 3 locations but I actually find the most at the Orland park location. I strongly recommend visiting all 3. Happy reading! 📚📚📚

What a wonderful bookstore. They have the friendliest staff and so helpful. The customer service is excellent and the price on the books, etc is very reasonable. If you’ve never been check it out.

Never fails. Love this place! Good kid selection

Awesome customer service! Very friendly and helpful. I found the books that I was looking for and then some. Very reasonable prices!

They sold more then just books so i was surprised about that. They had puzzles, journals, cds, etc. The place was clean and the books were organized pretty good. The stickers on the things i brought came off easily will hopefully be coming back soon!

I never leave empty handed and I never leave feeling bad about spending money here. 1/2 Price Books is a great way to grow your library and give books new homes for new generations. Love it, my 10 year old son loves it.

One of the greatest places. Half price books is a great company bookstore that sells vintage items, novel memorabilia, and a fantastic art collection. Would definitely recommend. Try it out!

I visit here all the time for good books on paleontology, mythology, and even fantasy or horror classics, and I highly recommend shopping here for all kinds of books, films, music, and even interesting collectibles.

Clean, organized and easy to find what I was looking for. Staff was pleasant as well. They certainly have a large variety of topics and collectibles.

First visit to HPB in OP. The staff was very helpful.

Really enjoyed my time here. Found it on accident while trying to find Barnes and Noble. They had free coffee which was a decent strong brew. Had a great Christian section and had lots of Star trek books! You can also bring books here to sell. Cant wait to come back! Bring back the book stores!

Its offer to buy books is not real.

There is a great variety of books to choose from..The staff is always friendly and knowledgeable..I just wish theyd pay better for books you bring in to sell

Great place to find obscure paper books

Love this place. From books to board games. Mind you, some things are just a little over priced. If you want a book, this is the place for you.

Dont pay Dilley for book buy back rather give them away

They always have what i need for the low low. There may be writing in the books but I dont care, i can still see the words.

It’s nice place to buy books. The workers weee very friendly. However when I donated books, I didn’t receive much just $1.50 for 10 books. Thought I’ll received at least $5. It’s ok though. This digital age may pay a role in the price of books.

Absolutely love this place. I could spend all of my money here.

Sold some books. Staff was very nice.

HPB store has a little bit of everything for anyone. Make sure to check out clearance section. A person can find some gems.

Great, cheap books. About everything you could think of.

One of the best books stores. Ive gone for years and always left with a good deal. Always fair on trade-ins. The staff is always friendly and polite as well. The best book store around!

Uou can find almost any title here.

Nice store. Always stop when Im in the area. Great deals in reduced section. Wish it was larger.

A great shop with a constantly revolving selection of records and books.

I have brought bags of quality books and quality dvds, BAGS FULL, And they only give you $1.50. I had 4 paper bags both times. Once I only got 53 cents!This half priced is not very good at all for selling to compared to others where I would at least get $20..

Great deal on books. Dont forget to look in the Clearance Section.

Good prices and helpful staff.

Nice book store.Prices are good.

Love to visit, always walk out with something.

Love this place. I could spend hours here. Staff is very helpful and very sweet.

Simple enough store, the books, CDS and movies you want at half the price! They even offer book buyback!

My daughter enjoys this store. she finds great books.

Cool place. Always has rotating stock. Seems like I strike out finding things more often than not. Fair prices

Browse for books you did not know about. Look for books you want. Find books you now know you want to read. Find read books from your past that you will reread. Books and things.

Great deal on comics too.

FYI to those who may be selling books at this location, please be aware that I sold about 90 books and 15 CDs in excellent condition and received $7.08.

I love this store, well laid out, well stocked, helpful employees

Very impressive selection that is quite well-organized. Prices are decent, too.

Hidden place to get retro games from!

Love this store! Especially with it being one of the few actual book stores open now days. They have all kinds of books new and used. The have puzzles, games, music and movies too! Great kids section. Definitely will be back!

Good selection of books at a reasonable price if you are a real reader. However, I would not take them back for fare price. They really take advantage of you.

10 dollars goes a LONG way here. Great place for a family escape or date night. Parusing Books, comics, graphic novels, records, and finding something awesome is really fun.

I purchased a Frank Zappa CD from half price books. Great price and in excellent condition. Surprising for any used CD.!

Had a boat load of books, they offered $3.50 for the boat. Ill donate.

I love this loction for being neat and well stocked. It is one of the bigger stores.

Love getting books and manga. Love selling my books too.

Went in 15 min before close figuring theyd be empty and they were. The employees who didnt feel like doing theyre jobs told me they had to close the registers and wouldnt be able to scan in 5 textbooks in 15 min. When I voiced I drove a while to get there they said theyd see what they can do. What does that even mean? Either youll do it or you wont! When I said i dont understand why you cant scan in 5 books in 15 min but thats ok ill just take my business elsewhere another employee who was not even part of the conversation rudely yelled out his two cents AFTER I said I was leaving. Extremely rude, disrespectful to customers, lazy employees who dont want to stay a minute past close. Not worth the $1 im sure I wouldve gotten only for them to make a profit.

Great place to find treasure. Browse and get a deal!

Great place to buy books at great price. Than you can return the books and they will buy them back to put toward more books. If u r a reader this is for u.

Decent selection of my interests

Picked up something for my grandson and my self.....cant beat that

Love this store. Great comic book selection and always find a great book. I just wish I didnt have to drive an hour to get there.

Great selections on everything book, superb prices, subject, old school music and awesome customer service 👌

Great prices and friendly people

Love the old maps they sell here.

My absolute favorite place to buy books from! I love being able to trade my old books in for new books.

Good selection great prices

This is probably my favorite bookstore to go too. The staff there is always helpful and knowledgeable, and their prices are excellent. You can find some seriously good finds there that you often wont find elsewhere. They also have a wide selection of products apart from book, like music, records, board games, video game, and other interesting stuff as well. Always an great spot

Constantly changing inventory makes this a great place to shop, prices are good as well

I love this place! The prices are pretty good, the selection is nice. Ive never sold books to them, so I cant speak to that (but my sister does). The folks behind the counter are always helpful, and on at least one occasion they ordered a book for me to pick up and let me know what nearby locations had the book I was looking for at the time. I love that they also have records, games, and new items. I stop by this place whenever Im in the area and have time.

Very nice store super friendly and helpful staff affordable books movies and vinyl records

Great place to get inexpensive books, especially for kids! Not bad either they have free coffee for those who enjoy/need it in the morning. Love the fact they have a 10% discount for educators/teachers. Very friendly and helpful staff!!

I used to love going to Half Price Books. But all there prices are now just ridiculous. They are charging way to high of price on there movies. I remember I got great movies for $2-7, now used DVDs are $12-17 hardly cheaper than a new one. Book selections are also scarce on certain authors now.

Lots of cool books and media

Love this store

Very helpful staff and great selection say very reasonable prices.

This place is awesome! Staff is very helpful and knowledgeable. Great variety of books, albums, CDs, DVDs and much more! You wont be disappointed lots of treasures

Found a limited edition copy of fable here and was very happy as j have been looking for one.

Organized store. Friendly staff. Asked for a book and rather than taking me over to it so I could look at similar books the girl ran off, found the book I asked for an handed it to me. I had to ask where she found it so I could look at what else they had to offer. Then when I checked out the cashier did not remind me that I had a coupon so I left and missed out on 40% off. My bad, but it would have been nice to have had the reminder. Almost always a line there too. Had to stand in line rather than them having to open another register for a few customers. Overall, I still enjoy shopping here and usually find something I didnt know I needed. Love the wide selection of books, magazines and stationary.

I went in on a Saturday night and they were quite busy. Was nice to see so many people visiting a book store given the recent rise in kindle, nooks, and e-readers. The staff was super helpful and helped me in locating everything I needed. The staff even went as far as seeing if they were able to order a book for me. I will definitely be going back soon. I hope they are not run out by amazon and or big businesses. Love to see and be able to go bookstores.

Quick and efficient! I brought in a big box of books. It took about 15 minutes for them to assess the value based on age, condition and resale value. I drank a small cup of free coffee, bought 5 books and walked away with $8.50! Better than donating them!

Great place good products and all safety being observed great place to shop

Great selection of books New and used good prices

This is the best Half Price Books in the Chicago area. The selection is great. Lots of items in niche topics. Great magazine selection even. Good finds in clearance.I mostly shop for comics and board games. The board game selection is plentiful with reasonable pricing. I have bought a decent amount and I think Ive only had one board game in bad enough condition to return.The comic selection beats every other HPB by a landslide and new items come in regularly. The pricing used to be incredible at pretty much $1 for everything a few years ago, but now theyre falling under the same lets gouge the nerds philosophy. I see issues Ive bought for 25-50 cents each at conventions for $3-4. If its from the 80s, its going to be $3-4 for even common issues it seems.I have gotten some incredible deals over the years at this store though, particularly with the comic book sets. They also have a big blowout sale once or twice a year where they bring out all this extra stock and sell it cheap. At one point it was 25-cents each. Most recently I think it was $1 per book but bagged/boarded and they didnt scrutinize each item for mark ups so I still found some really great issues for $1.Their comic book clearance is generally kept in their bags, but lately A LOT of them have the bags removed and the stickers slapped on the covers, ruining them.I recently bought a Wii and an XBOX360 from there at great prices in working condition. The Wii sensor cord was damaged but worked. It could have used a bit of a cleaning, too. Definitely cant beat the price on consoles there. Game pricing is pretty standard.Two years ago I would have said 5 stars, but if youre a comic book fan, the rising prices are dragging it down.

Friendly staff and a plethora of books at a great price. Even the clearance section has amazing books to offer. Video games and other electronics such as movies, CD, and vinyls are also sold here. I recommend college students buying their books here. Bought my biology book here for $7 as opposed to $200 online.

Love Half Priced Books, they have a huge selection of books, movies, and games. I have had really good luck finding stuff in their clearance section too. I ordered most of my college textbooks from their online site and they always came in a timely manner and for cheaper than I could find anywhere else. I have sold back a couple books to them and received a fair price for them. All-in-all, a great store!

Amazing place to go for movies, gaming, books, music, and even random knick knacks. They have a clearance section with plenty of very low priced books waiting to be taken. Friendly staff and great environment to be in!

I just discovered this place a week ago, and I was pleasantly surprised! The DVDs were my main thing, and they have a very fine selection. I actually found a DVD I couldnt find anywhere else for the last month along with another I had only just started looking for. They also have some obscure titles and multi-film sets that Disc Replay across the street would NEVER carry. Very niche bargain sets for martial arts, westerns, and more. What they also carry that Disc Replay doesnt are CD singles, audio cassettes, and VHS tapes. They also have a wide array of vinyl records which Disc Replay has only just recently begun offering.In the printed medium, I was surprised to see comic books for sale. I might take a look at those some day, too. Theres a LOT to see here, and is definitely worth checking out. I have not had much dealings with the staff, but they seem generally quite good at what they do. Plus, there always seems to be quite a number of employees on the floor at all times. So, Im sure service is easy to obtain.

I love this store and Im always able to find new and use books at great prices. If youre into hobbies and are looking for specific information that might not be listed online, then this store is definitely worth a visit. The first edition section of the store provides the customer with very rich material and super neat purchases. If you love books, youve probably already been here. GREAT place to find gifts for family and friends!

Great selection of books and very organized book store.

Oh my word. My fiancé and I bought his first Bible here! We just started rummaging through it, woohoo! This place is like a time machine back into simpler days and ways of absorbing information/stories. It smelled like knowledge, wisdom, and meaningful energy. Love this place.

Looking for records at this half price books in countryside, they are not in the best shape. Save your time and go to the location in Orland or Schaumburg, larger selection in better shape.

I love coming here. Every time I go into this store, the staff is always extremely kind and they always ask how I am doing. They always have great books! They also have an amazing selection of comic books! I love this store!!!

Staff always helpful, and go out of their way to help you find that something specific. Great prices from dvds to albums, to CDs and books. Also buy all items mentioned - used from you.

One of my favorite places to get lost...

Great selection.

Its a good place to buy a book but not particularly good to sell your old books. You might get 5cents per dollar. But you cant beat the selection. Most major book stores only stock the newest and most popular books but this one always has at least triple the book selection. Plus buying here will support the community instead of feeding Amazon.

Great deals. Clean store. Good customer service. Lots of good things you find inside especially if you are looking for a gift for any age.

This place is difficult to rate. On one hand the selection and prices are fantastic. Id give it five stars easily in that regard. On the other hand if youre trading in old books youd probably do better selling at a garage sale for a dime each. That may be an exaggeration but not by much.

The books are so inexpensive. They have movies and games for 3bucks. They have the best deal on textbooks

They offered me a quarter for 2 full encyclopedia collections, hence the three stars. I told them just to keep the money because I was going to donate them anyhow. The staff was friendly and helpful.

Have well known titles as well as small titles. Beware that what may be available one week you go may not be in stock again. Great prices in comparison to other well known book stores, and large collection of different genres from mythology to manga to health and fitness books.

Great selection!Great staff!

They have a very good selection of books here. If they don’t have a copy on site, they can order it for you and have it come either to the store or your home. They’re also pretty good about answering questions about what you’re looking for without having an attitude.

Wife loves this store. lol

You really only need one book. The holy scriptures🌈🕊️🌈🌄

Half Price books has some of the best selection and prices around. I go there for everything I need, and usually end up getting plenty that I dont. Wether its old or new theyve got you covered. Their sales are frequent and even better than their already great prices. The only thing I wish they had was more Asimov books, I can never seem to get enough.

You can definitely find some hidden gems in here. Prices are great.
