“Amazing! So amazing we went back the next day. The people that work there were super nice and friendly also informative. They have a ton of great things not only books. We walked out with a decent amount of books and such. She even found a shirt I was looking for in my size. If we lived in Austin, I know we would be there all the time.”
“Cozy bookstore that I stumbled upon, but I’m so happy that I did. It is jam packed with gems with many genres to choose from. I was very impressed with the queer selection and plan to be back!”
“Great locally owned book store. The snacks in the cafe are great, the employees are friendly, the selection is really good and they have a pretty extensive list of authors coming out to do talks. Very cool spot!”
“I had a bunch of books and records laying around and was about to toss them; then I thought man I bet I can sell these,and sure enough took them in to store and made $28. Great inventory of games books and vintage knicknacks and stuff”
“Great selection of books, dvds, and misc. items. This place has character! It's nice to randomly find interesting books that I wouldn't otherwise be interested in. Staff is helpful and I like the chill atmosphere.”
“I don't visit Austin often, but whenever I do, I make it a point to make my pilgrimage over to Kinokuniya. This place's selection of imported goods is unmatched anywhere else I've seen. I'm an especially big fan of the clear files, imported magazines, and art books. Some items can be marked up a bit, but it's nothing out of line with markups you'd see at, say, a Barnes and Noble. Even if they don't have something you're looking for, let them know and they'll get it shipped! This place is fantastic, and if you're on the fence about going, just go!”
“My wife and I love to come here when we’re absolutely bored and browse through the store searching for hidden treasure. They have a decent red section also for mainstream music.”
“I love this store. I haven’t wrote a review until now because I wanted to keep this place a secret. It’s that good. It’s full of treasure. Employees are knowledgeable and will take time to help you with any questions about anything related to books, movies, music, or games. They have an excellent selection and I find a “treasure” every time I visit. Their prices are lower than eBay and Amazon most of the time.
For most retail stores in 2024 the Post-Covid shopping experience is a nightmare, it’s what I imagine shopping would be like in a communist country. It’s nice to have a place like Half Price Books that remind me of the good old days, days when retail stores actually tried to stay in business by offering good service and competitive prices while not putting burden on the customer.”

“Recycled Reads is my favorite books store. You never know what you’ll find and the prices can’t be beat! 50 cents for all children’s and YA books, including hardcover. $2 for adult fiction hardcover. $.50 - $1 for all paperback adult fiction.”
“great place to hang out grab and drink and read a book!Their coffee drinks were good- had the seasonal sparkling americano which was very well madeThey also have nice snack options like olives , cheese boards which make it a great place to hang out and get some work done while snackingHave been here on the weekend- a lil busy with families and young children; I heard weekdays are much quieter , if that’s your preferenceThey also organize some events like book clubs, chess club- great place to build a community”
“The vibes of this place feel off... there was a big patch of empty space in the store without any shelves or displays. The art for sale in the gallery is a bit overpriced for digital prints, though it's not unexpected considering the artist only gets to put one print up and have it up for a long time. I was about to leave the store when I found a cool toy line consisting of animals you can take apart into anatomical meat pieces. If I didn't find such a cool unique thing I probably would've labeled this place as a rather average run of the mill anime figurine store.”

“Helpful knowledgeable staff go above and beyond to help find a books. Emra found the series for me and had them waiting for me when I arrived. This is my favorite location!”
“It’s a pricier used bookshop and we didn’t end up buying anything, but it’s definitely at least worth a browse, and the rare copies are impressive. Plus, they were super nice.”
“They had the best customer service. 40 some high school students crashed the quiet store and if it bothered them or stressed them out, you couldn't tell. They were great!”
“Wow the Giving Witch ? Sharon just gave me a new ducky on a rainy day when I really needed it. Just absorbed the joy in her space, imagined a kid for me and my wife to play with all the toys, and gave her a big hug. Thanks it’s Krazy how a small gift and a big heart can make the sun come out”

“Hello, I placed an online order for a Master of Education Hood for a graduation robe that is needed for an upcoming graduation ceremony scheduled in about 2 weeks. Though I didn't request expedited service my order arrived in 1 day.--- Thank you very much, you are greatly appreciated.”
“First time buyer from Belzel books. I've got to say this was an awesome experience. had a Pinky Yun tattoo book if you know you know. Not only did it come fast it was extremely well packaged l. Came with a nice note on a tattoo note card and some other free swag which made my day. I will definitely be purchasing my future tattoo books here thank you Wendy!”
“Stopped by the Co-op looking for some UT gear and got some top-notch help from Maya. She was super helpful in finding me the perfect water bottle. Love the selection and the customer service here. Hook 'em! ?”
“Went in a few months back on the prowl for some Beetroopers cards for my friend's deck. The guy at the register was super nice and helped us dig through the different bulk boxes it could be in. He even tried to open some of their packs to see if they could pull it since it was a common. Highly recommend them!”
“This place is my safe space. One of my favorite pastimes in Austin is getting a drink at the cafe and finding my next read. I discovered books that I usually wouldn’t think to pickup. Going here always brings me joy and helps me get out of a book slump if I am in one. Not sure if it’s the layout, people, or employee rec notecards, but I really love the vibes of this B&N!
The booksellers are kind and I like that and let you do your thing and are happy to answer any questions or give book rec. Also the stationary section is dangerously I want to buy everything I see ?”
“Great place to sell books that are sitting around collecting dust. They won't pay a lot but it's better than nothing. ?
The Half Price Books near Parmer and Mopac is a nice store and the staff is friendly.”
“Pastor Shules is outstanding. It is a Spirit filled Church. Have attended for over 15 years. Was married here, baptized here, and burial service will be held here. Can't say enough about how wonderful services are.”
“Best University in Texas...HANDS DOWN! It's an exceptional experience with a boutique college feel. It's a beautiful campus with fantastic faculty and staff!”
“I've missed BookPeople since I moved away from Austin in 2015, so I was really excited to find that the airport has a location (or maybe two - it looked like there two when I was trying to check in)! Definitely nostalgic for me; I miss walking over to the location on N Lamar from my apartment that was pretty nearby. The shop is well stocked for its size (with books and snacks and some souvenir type items). I found a fun novel for the plane and grabbed a snack as well. Definitely a fun treat in the Austin airport!”
“I am a huge fan of this local bookstore and try to support them as frequently as possible. Every interaction I have had with staff has been very positive, both in person and over the phone. Audrey (my namesake haha) gave me great book recommendations on disability justice the last time I visited. I appreciate that they demonstrate their values by still requiring masks in store. It makes me feel much more safe and comfortable as an immunocompromised person to take my time and browse their amazing and diverse collection.”
“Cool space! I didn't stay for very long but I found a couple things that I liked including a calvin and hobbes comic and some poetry. It's pay by donation and I also grabbed a couple free stickers so I paid about $10.”
