I have been coming to both HBR locations since they first opened. Both locations are awesome, especially for the areas they serve.

Read moreGreat little spot. Found it almost on accident. A bunch of mid tier used books, and a good selection of DVDs at reasonable prices. But the vinyl, toys, and comics are really where the place shines. They have a lot of really cool stuff. I was personally there looking for stuff for resale, so I was comping a number of items. Almost everything is right at fair market value, which is refreshing (if not a little disappointing for me personally) to see in a world of people gouging one another. Really cool pieces at completely fair prices. Worth a look for any...
