Actually, if it’s been 10 years, you might not recognize the city since so many changes have taken place. (Heck, we’ve even got tattoo shops now!) But yep, no Half Price Books … yet.

There’s no Half-Price Books in Oklahoma City YET? OK, that settles it — I’ve been gone from the state for ten years; there’s no reason to hurry back.

yeah I still remember the first time I went there Dave. I was working at Polaroid which used to be right around the area. The girl I was working with me told me about it. I went during lunch. I just remember walking in and my jaw dropping and going there once a week after that. When I worked near by. Now I go maybe once every two months.

Hey Bruce, I use the Book Fair as well. I take my two year old son over once a week and while I gawk at the books he gets to pick out a toy. I’ve never seen a better book shop then that one. I love used shops a bit more, but for new books (and deeply stocked ones at that)-anyone in the area should check it out.

Oh, yes… the only way Half-Price Books could be any more of a heaven for me would be if they had a chocolate fountain in the entry-way. I could write another book myself just listing all the wonderful books I have staggered out with. There is absolutely no better source for (originally) expensive coffee-table gift books at embarrassingly low prices. There are two of them in San Antonio that I know like I know my own house!

>> I’m glad there’s no Half Price Books anywhere near my Oklahoma City home, because I might be broke if there were.

Tell me about it. In Houston, there are eight (Eight!) HPBs within easy driving distance. It’s not uncommon for me to walk out with a short stack of books for me and my family. I’ve slowed down a bit in recent years - saturation finally taking it’s toll - but I’m *still* buying them faster than I could read them.

I’ll just make due with the New England Mobile Book Fair which is not. Since it looks like a tiny little shop up front but once you pull in the parking lot you see its a huge warehouse of jsut new books. Their system of stocking is a bit daunting for a first timer. Set up by publisher and by title not author. But everything is 20% off and there is a huge remainder room where the prices are amazing.
