The staff and everybody else are very friendly.But I felt very unsafe in the parking lotHomeless people demanding money walking up to my vehicle pounding on the hood of my car.I saw no security cameras or video recording if I don't feel safe going to these businesses here I'll have to take my business elsewhere.Yes this location is near my home but if I fear for my safety I am going to start going out of my way so I can feel safe.Why is there no onsight security guard.

I haven't been to half Price books in quite a long time. The store was clean and organized. The books, games, etc. were all in very good shape with the price to match. We went on to buy a book and left out also with two games. one twisted charades and cards against humanity. Both games were in beautiful condition and had all parts to them including instruction books. There were records, discs, games, child section, Tarot decks. You name it. They had it. The store location was easy to get to and was clearly marked from the street. With of Plenty of parking. We couldn't believe that we got cards against humanity as cheap as we did with it in such great condition. We are very much looking forward to having many more game nights.

I've been in love with HPB since I was a kid. You will always find something to read, watch or listen to here. They always have a great selection and prices are always reasonable. Go HPB!

Every time I come to Madisons east side I have to stop at Half Price Books. The inventory is always changing and the selection of books by genre is generous. Bought a couple books and I look forward to coming back.
