## Description

Half Price Books is America's largest family-owned retailer offering new and used books, with over 100 brick-and-mortar stores nationwide and a bustling website. The brand was founded in 1972 by bibliophiles Pat Anderson and Ken Gjemre, who started with a used-book shop in an old laundromat in Dallas, Texas. As the business grew, so did their store locations and their commitment to keeping books in circulation. Today, Half Price Books continues to uphold its founders' legacy by continuously reviewing and improving its in-store and online shopping experience. They also partner with literacy programs and charity organizations nationwide and implement green practices in their stores and corporate office. Aside from books, Half Price Books also offers a wide range of products, including movies and TV shows, music, collectibles, textbooks, and games and gifts. With a dedication to promoting literacy, sustainability, and community engagement, Half Price Books is your go-to destination for all your reading and entertainment needs.
