I frequent the Half Price Books at Crossroads Mall and on Roosevelt Way in Seattle. I have yet to go to the one in downtown Redmond, where I live, but I read in the "Redmond Reporter" that the basement is haunted and why would I want to experience that? Haha. My kids are little but they DEVOUR books (although they are not reading yet, go figure - I can't tell you how many thousands of stories I have read!) and I don't want them to get bored with the same old ones. I find Half Price books to be a great resource to save money on children's titles. I have had 99% positive experience with them although one time I bought a book only to discover it had lots of pages torn out of the center. A friend who is also a frequent shopper at Half Price advised me to return it to them but I had already discarded the receipt and my obsessive little boy had insisted that I remove the price tag. Oh well, $3.98 down the toilet! =)
