What a fun thread!

I love Half-Price Books.

I have found and purchased:

Paved with Good Intentions - Jared Taylor
Election Day Sermons - David W. Hall
The Roots of American Order - Russell Kirk
War Songs and Poems of the Southern Confederacy

I don't remember the exact prices, but they were between 3-7 dollars each.

 

[Marrow Man]

I love Half Price Books too!

Recent Acquisitions:

$2 -- Augustine's Confessions
$1 -- Selected Works by Thomas Aquinas
$1 -- Modern Russian Theology by Paul Valliere

Always check the clearance rack first!!!

So, where does one find half-priced books, anyway?

I thought I saw a Portland OR location in one of their advertisements. There are two here in KC. They are also in CA and I believe TX. They also have an Amazon acct, and I've purchased stuff that way before too.

Click here. Looks there aren't any in Oregon, but there are a few in Washington.

Or come to Louisville! We have at least two here!

Hmmm, you're right. It seems I remember seeing an Amazon seller called "Half-Price Books." Do they also have an ebay account I wonder?

I imagine they would, although I don't know for sure. But if you're ever in the KC area, we can all shop together.

 

[Marrow Man]

Yeah, you two can shop. Bill and I will be out getting sushi.

I went through KC on the move out here to Oregon, but not since then.

Oh, no you don't, Young Man! I want sushi and books!

 

[Marrow Man]

Then we shall all open a used book store with a sushi bar in back...

So, where does one find half-priced books, anyway?

If you ever get to Dallas, check out the main location on Northwest Highway, east of Central Expressway.

A sushi bar in a bookstore is actually an awesome idea!!!

Can't wait to chow down, sip coffee and look through musty books

LOL.. understandable... I still can't believe I found them!
Not to rub it in... but here is a picture of one of them and I... They are all in really good condition with the exception of Vol X ... has some water damage...

 

[Knoxienne]

Beautiful! Yeah, there are some great finds in those stores. Something will pop out, and it just makes you jump for joy.!

 

[Iakobos_1071]

indeed.. I keep hoping I will find a vintage Pilgrim's Progress or "Institutes" by Calvin, or okay anything Vintage that isn't Armenian...lol

But of course, as local ordinances allow.

Of course, I will add that all commercial sections of our bookstore will be closed on the Lord's Day. We will not engage in commerce, and our employees will be released to attend worship. However, we will consider keeping a reading room in back for good Lord's Day reading activities!!!
