Store

While Seattle is full of new and used bookstores, Half Price Books reigns as the king of discounted new books. With locations in the University District, Bellevue, Lynnwood, Edmonds, Everett, Redmond and Tukwila, the stores are ultra accessible and open late.

New hard covers are more than half-off and sometimes Half Price even sells new releases (advance copies) before the big guys. Better yet, books are well organized into narrowly defined niche categories that make them easy to find, despite the store's lack of a computerized inventory.
