    They had plenty in the fantasy (young adult) section. I've seen more options available at the Lynnwood location though! Either way, this location was clean and well kept.

    The store was well-organized and clean, the staff was friendly, and there were so many interesting books (and other items like bookmarks) to look at! I went with a group, and we all ended up leaving with at least one thing. I found books in great condition for good prices. I also ended up with a little journal and a gift for a friend. I would highly recommend this bookstore to anyone and I feel like it has something for everyone

    This was such a dissapointment! I heard great things about HPB, such as the really large selection of second-hand books and the great deals. They have a big selection of second-hand books but not as large as reviews made it out to be and the deals were not good at all, making it better to just buy new, which is such a shame. The setting is also very outdated and not nice or cozy (what you would expect from a bookstore).
