“A fantastic experience!I had this store on my To Do list for a while and found myself in the area, so I decided to stop by on a whim. It looked dark from the street, but the signage clearly marked it as open, so I parked next door in the lot for a business for lease. (Note: there's parking behind the store for Kaboom patrons). I walked into this charming and crowded space with a couple that was donating books.I wasn't looking for anything in particular, so I was wandering sort of aimlessly when an energetic and obviously busy woman took the time to ask if she could assist me. I choked out "Women's Literature?", sort of noncommittally. She was brilliant, returning with two books, one from a brilliant author I've read before and love, but don't always think about while I'm at the bookstore, and a lighter tone option from a brand new to me author.That's what my ideal visit to a used bookstore looks like. I can't wait to go back and get more excellent recommendations.”

“I didn't realize I didn't post my review, just stared it.This place has always been amazing. I've always been skeptical on visiting comic shops or shops like this in the past because every time I enter one, it just reeks of BO and I have a sensitive nose, the first time I entered this place 4 yrs ago, i didn't have that but I was just visiting.I've seen the growth and changes this store has done and it's amazing to shop. I've never had a negative experience here, food is amazing, the employees that I met offer recommendations on many products especially if you're new to a game/book/minis/ etc.Truly an amazing place to shop and would love for them to open more shops around so everyone can experience it.”

“Went with a friend to spend some time together and we both ended up spending over 2 hours here without noticing. Family run book store and they have an online catalog for you to check whether they have a specific book or not. The outside looks like a cottage and the inside is filled with books from top to bottom. I could probably spend a week here and STILL not get through every section. It is a little warm in some areas because the entire indoors is packed with shelves, but air conditioners are scattered throughout the store. Highly recommend coming here to find your next read and for cute pictures”

“Was looking for a certain book. This place had it along with a great attitude. It’s family owned. The husband and wife were really kind and help me out with anything I needed. They are cash only so keep that in mind before you go browsing.”

“Good store, only downside is awkward hours. Stay open til at least 7pm for 9-5 workers (and maybe 3-4 hours Sunday since faith based)Only other technical concern, although book selection good, some religious products made in China (wonder if could get from elsewhere)Oh and get rid of phony Faustina ‘divine mercy’ diary. That ruined my life substituting that tricky shallow chaplet for rosary”

“Okay, so not so Jumbo when you see the place, but it is packed with all typos of Judaica. Just don't be shocked when you see how small the place is. They have all types of items including toys for babies and kids, cookbooks, talis, novels, jewelry, bar, and bat mitzvah, gifts and items, holiday items, etc. you're bound to find something. The one employee that I've encountered while shopping there is a huge help and very friendly. Both occasions there seems to be a steady flow of shoppers. Do check the times they are open.”

“I've only been to this bookstore once, but I enjoyed my visit. It's a small shop but there's a wide variety of books. I prefer science fiction books and there was a good variety of books for me to pick from. The staff were very friendly too. The bookstore is far from my home, but I do plan to make future trips.”

“We have been going here for almost 20 years now - back when they were off of Judiway St in Houston. We went to our first informational meeting for homeschool in 2004 in their store. So thankful for the Swirsky family during those early years and glad they have withstood the test of time. We go at least twice a year to take our used curriculum to sell and purchase new things. Love this place!”

“I couldn't be happier with my experience. The ambiance of the store was inviting, with shelves stacked high with captivating books from renowned authors.What truly sets Quarter Price Books apart, however, is its exceptional staff. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warmth and enthusiasm. The employees were not only knowledgeable about the books they carried but also eager to share their insights and recommendations.I left with two new additions to my library, thanks to the helpful guidance of the staff. It's evident that their passion for literature extends beyond sales – they genuinely care about fostering a community of readers and exchanging knowledge with customers.Overall, my visit to Quarter Price Books was a delightful experience, and I look forward to returning soon. If you're a book lover in search of a welcoming environment and expert recommendations, I highly recommend paying them a visit.”

“What a great little find!! I stopped by on Saturday afternoon as a first-time customer looking for gifts for my little 10 year old nephew...Baptism, First Holy Communion, and Confirmation. The 2 ladies there were very nice and helpful. (Thank you!) The store itself looked small from the outside, but I was pleasantly surprised when I walked in. What a nice variety of items to choose from, and prices to fit any budget. I got everything I needed in this one stop, plus a few little extras! Will definitely be visiting this little jewel of a Catholic Store again!”

“My husband, son-in-law and and daughter come here all the time. I shop here too. This mixed neighborhood loves everyone. Houston is the most internationalist city in the USA! They treat everyone great no matter what color skin you have or how you are dressed. I hope to be invited to do silhouettes in the store. I will bring my grandchild in today for her 7 1/2 year birthday gift. It’s a great toy store.”
