First of all, we love HPB! I was skeptical when I found out the closest one to us was so small, but we almost always find what we are looking for. They have good turnaround and really do fit in a lot of books in a small space.

Love coming in here every few months. They usually have a few gems in the occult/mythology and cinema sections. I frequently sell back books here to help off-set the cost of my next purchase and the folks at the counter are always efficient.

This is one of several locations in the DFW area and a great place to find books, DVD's, tapes of all genres. They have quite a substantial and esoteric collection. The sections are clearly labeled and the books themselves are organized by authors' last name.
