The staff and everybody else are very friendly.But I felt very unsafe in the parking lotHomeless people demanding money walking up to my vehicle pounding on the hood of my car.I saw no security cameras or video recording if I don't feel safe going to these businesses here I'll have to take my business elsewhere.Yes this location is near my home but if I fear for my safety I am going to start going out of my way so I can feel safe.Why is there no onsight security guard.

I loved stopping in here. We lost our mass used bookstore in Knoxville (but it smelled like a smoker's living room anyway). So, I was glad to find a new place to source used books. The staff were really helpful in finding titles that I was hoping to find, AND they found one's they didn't have at the location across town (also friendly and fun). What a great place to stop in and find a new read.

I've been in love with HPB since I was a kid. You will always find something to read, watch or listen to here. They always have a great selection and prices are always reasonable. Go HPB!
