text: This is the Hal Price Books store closest to where I live so I go there quite frequently due to its convenient location There are some things about this store that are good some that are bad and one that is downright uglynnThe Good They have a good selection of books and great prices on remainder books The store is wellorganized and clean including the restroomsnnThe Bad They only off cash for your items and not much at that If you are not looking for cash you are much better off trying Zia and Bookmans firstnnThe Ugly The vinyl record section is awful and almost unbelievably it is worse than it was a year ago They recently instituted a foolish policy of taping certain used records shut in plastic bags I was told by an employee that this was due to customers turning records into records This is pure bunk Some of the records they have taped shut are under When I asked to see one of the records outside of the bag the employee was unable to figure out how to remove it Another employee had to intervene and managed to get the tape stuck on the jacket damaging it I have been to over different Half Price Books stores across the southwestern United States and this store has the dubious distinction of having the worst managed vinyl section of any of them
