The resident of Dolan memory Care Homes love visiting this Half-Price Books. There is a lot of space for sitting and moving around and the staff is friendly and helping in recommending good books. They have a lot more than just books, so it definitely is worth exploring the inventory.

Such a wonderful shop. Lots of helpful cheerful staff. Such a great selection.I get some seriously great books here. From vintage and antique to art and photography books, cook books, and all the fun cute book store tchotkies and art kits to round out any present.They have games and legos too! Favorite place to shop is a book shop!

Amazing place to explore and find hidden treasures. If you are a book lover this is the place for you. If you like cool vintage finds this is the place. Records, toys, electrics, notebooks, unique calendars, and more. I look forward to coming back and highly recommend checking it out if you never visited.

Well, I must admit that for my very first time visiting this store, the experience was pretty great! The first thing that stood out to me was how kind and nice and friendly the staff were. By the way: Did I happen to mention that the staff were friendly? Perhaps I didn't mention that so let me make it clear: The staff, COLLECTIVELY, were all very friendly! I am pleased to say that I don't believe one of them was having a bad day. If someone was having a bad day, he or she didn't reveal that.It actually made for a very pleasant experience considering it was my first time there. I found the store to be very well adequately stocked and very neatly decorated! Nothing was out of place. Not a book or a \"toy,\" not a chair or a lanyard, nor any mugs or games. It was very clear to me that the staff worked very hard to keep that store looking as neat as it is. You will see from my pictures how hard they work on the cleanliness of the space.When one first arrives at Half Price Books, it's clear from the front presentation that it's going to be a great experience! The outdoor furniture and trash cans were all very neat and clean. This is, of course, a small thing. However, you can imagine if the trash can had been overrun or the furniture had stained spots all over it, or if the sidewalk area was littered with debris, that would have been a very different experience. Yes, the staff at Half Price Books near McKnight and Delmar are all working hard! Not only are they friendly but they work hard to keep things tidy as well. It's precisely the reason why I chose to give them five stars.Furthermore, you will see in my pictures that they pretty much cover the gamut of all forms of literature, music, gaming consoles, lanyards, mugs, toys and MUCH MORE. There are large swaths of fiction and religion and historical pieces; and young adult and teen fiction and magazines. A few of the genres I was not able to fit in this review because I was only allowed to include 50 photos. But if you can think it, THEY PROBABLY HAVE IT.If there is one thing I will say in terms of criticism, it's that I wish the men's restroom had been slightly cleaner. It's not that it was bad because trust me when I tell you: I have seen bad, bad, bad! Just look at my review for the QuikTrip that's on vandeventer near the Central West End. One evening that restroom was outrageous! I have photos to prove it.But that's getting off topic... because despite my minor gripe about the men's restroom, I still gave them five stars! Everyone was practicing proper social distancing and every member of the staff wore a mask! I also wish I could say, \"Hey Michelle! You were fantastic!\" or \"David, that was brilliant!\" Alas, I cannot because NO ONE was wearing a name tag...LITERALLY...NO ONE. So, to all the staff of Half Price Books near McKnight and Delmar: You guys ROCK! Y'all were amazing today. Thank you for making me feel so welcome! Which leads to my closing point: Considering the current climate of our country, it was nice to walk into that store and feel just as important as other people there. This store happens to be a hop, skip, and a jump from Ladue. That is a very wealthy, affluent area and they could have looked at me and judged me and not treated me as fairly. I'm a black male. But that's not at all the treatment I received. Everyone, on the contrary, treated me like I was first-class! Thank you for that. That means a lot to me.
