Sharon Anderson Wright, President/CEO, Half Price Books

Since 1972, Sharon Anderson Wright has gone from the first employee of Half Price Books Records Magazines to its President and CEO. She has helped the company expand from a single 1,000 square foot converted Laundromat into the nation’s largest family-owned new and used bookstore chain with 120 stores in 16 states.

Sharon began working for Half Price Books at the age of 13, sorting and shelving paperbacks. In 1976, she opened and managed the store in Richardson, and in 1986, became manager of the company’s flagship store. Within three years she was promoted to District Manager of the five Dallas stores.

Sharon was appointed General Manager and Executive Vice President over corporate operations the following year. She took the reins as Half Price Books President in 1996 after her mother, Half Price Books Cofounder Pat Anderson, passed away.
