It seems like every month, a new chain restaurant or store is opening or expanding here in Lubbock. Half Price Books, A Texas OrginalWhile Lubbock does have a Barnes & Noble, 2nd & Charles, and Second Chance Books, I really do think the readers of Lubbock could support a Half Price Books. However, I do love to buy used books that are in great condition, because it's better for the environment and it saves me a lot on the cover price. The basement of the Mahon library is filled with used books at very affordable prices, and it is difficult to leave without a big box of books. And plenty of books in every category- I usually pick up history books, novels, cookbooks, etc.
