Half Price Books 2036 Shattuck Avenue, Berkeley, CA 94704

"This is definitely the place NOT to sell books, DVDs or CD’s. I would not even bother showing up here again with the lowball offers provided. Rasputins and Amoeba will appreciate you a little more and give you at least .25-.50 per item."

"Great selection of all kinds of books, and all at a really great price. They have a lot of fiction and non fiction books, along with helpful staff who are quick to help with questions. I asked about a book I couldn't find and a staff member was very helpful in looking it up for me and also suggesting another store they have the book in. Nice manga section, plus they have lots of DVDs, LP, video games and board games too. Would love to be back."

"Oh, now THIS bookstore is a book lover's dream. Gently used books at stellar prices? Good thing I didn't go to UC Berkeley - I'd spent half my days browsing these bookshelves rather than studying! They have a VERY extensive selection dedicated to fiction with a wide variety of authors I like or have considered reading in the past. Their Young Adult/Middle Grade section also had a few great finds - found a signed first edition of Artemis Fowl for less than 8 dollars! Some books were mislabeled (House by the Cerulean Sea is NOT a YA book. It is very much an adult fantasy) but nothing too egregious. If you're in the area, definitely stop by. They also have a pretty nice used video game/DVD section that include cult classics and blockbusters."

"Love it! Good collection of books with very reasonable prices. You can find CDs, games and many more! Also, kids sections at the back and they have lots of options, too."
