Half Price Books – Parmer Crossing

The mission of Half Price Book is to be fair to customers and employees, promote literacy, be kind to the environment, and remain financially viable so they may continue.

In 1972 corporate dropout Ken Gjemre and fellow bibliophile Pat Anderson opened a used-book shop in an old laundromat in Dallas, Texas. They ran ads in the local paper, declaring “We Buy Books,” and soon found themselves with a few thousand books and hordes of customers. “You could stir them with a stick,” Ken said.

And now? With more than 120 stores across the country, plus a website with customers and sellers around the globe, they’ve become America’s largest family-owned retailer for new and used books.Half Price Books is committed to the community. They’ve been supporting literacy and environmental groups for more than 40 years and will continue working together to carry on the mission and causes of their founders.

They also recycle and donate more than a million of their overstock books each year to local nonprofits and organizations around the world. Learn more about how they give back.

Half Price Books will pay cash for your books, textbooks, music, movies, mobile phones, tablets, games, gaming consoles, e-readers and more. You can spend the cash in the store or take it home with you. Half Price Books pays the most for recent bestsellers and collectibles, but they’re also interested in good books, music, and movies of all kinds. The primary factors they consider when buying used merchandise of any kind are: 1.) condition 2.) supply and demand.

Half Price Books also donates overstock inventory to nonprofit agencies around the world and strives to recycle what they can’t donate. Read more about donations.
