Has no one been to Second Chance Books & Comics at NW 39th and Macarthur? They are amazing compared to Half Price Books.

Just talked with someone from Half Price Books. Sounds like the new Oklahoma store will be located at 6500 North May Avenue. Opening in May 2009!

Yep, I was at Half Price Books in Texas during Thanksgiving break and the cashier told us about a new location opening in Oklahoma City soon. He even gave us a 2009 calendar that showed all the locations and it said Oklahoma City coming soon. We’re thrilled! Now, where might it be, and if only we could get one in Norman. =)

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.
