“Wonderful bookstore. I also have to note that this is the most reliable shop I’m aware of in Milwaukee for quality greeting cards. As a man, it’s incredibly difficult to find stationery that is gender-neutral, let alone content that isn’t just generally corny. Highly recommend.”
“Fantastic selection of zines, graphic novels, and local artwork. Their novel selection, while not extensive, is curated well with unique and interesting finds. Their small space packs punch with a cozy seating area, and you can grab a drink too! Come for the one of a kind selection and stay for stickers!”
“I absolutely enjoyed the ambiance of the store. It was quiet, a huge selection of reading material and comfortable areas to relax. Even a deli in the event you needed a bite to eat.”
“This is such a great bookstore! It is a small boutique shop but the selection is great! Unique children and young adult books focusing on Black, Indigenous, People of Color. Quote from the website says a lot. "It is critical that urban youth both see themselves in the pages of books and read varied narratives of what it means to be a black, or brown protagonist."”
“A used bookstore in an airport? This is the first one I have ever seen. The best place to pass the time for hours if you are waiting for a flight. If I had one small criticism, it would be the prices. But this is a treasure you won't find in any other airport.”
“If your looking for games, books, movies for adults or kids, you'll find something here. Educational or fun games, it's here. Records, Blurays they're here. They have authors come in, coffee shop, spots to read. Have something for the youngest to the oldest in your family. Staff is friendly and helpful. Coffee is great. Selection and prices are also great. Also carry some toys, funko pops, Legos, etc. Can also order online or in store.”
“This shop is so cozy and awesome!! I've only been a couple times so far, but there are some very good finds (obsessed and super hyped about a soup cook book i got there and next time i hope i have more time to go through the science and nature sections). Two awesome cats will bless your presence as well ♡♡ Mr.Sanders seems a little more social, and Bustopher Jones is also a very cool guy. Downstairs is a cozy area with a lot more books and some chairs. They also have very cool vintage postcards by the entrance! I'm sure I'll keep noticing more really cool stuff here”
“Admittedly I only go to HPB for the used CDs which I still enjoy collecting. My guess is that at least 20% of my collection has come from there. Occasionally I find some real gems and I really enjoy picking through the discount CDs from time to time.”
“Just plain WOW!! These guys went over and above and helped me tremendously getting my Christmas train project up and running in time :)) Great prices, knowledgeable, super-helpful, what more could you ask? Thanks guys, I'll be back again. And again.. And again... :)”
“Great Vibes! Great People! And Great Service! Would suggest everyone to go here for Books, Music, and various Sources of Knowledge of every Aspect, Realm, and Nature!”
“My toddler and I stopped by this book store and could’ve spent all afternoon there! The environment is so cozy, there is a wonderful selection of children’s books (in several languages!), and the owner was incredibly kind. We will definitely be back!”
“A very wide selection I'm happy to know that this is one of the great places out there for these types of resources .Also there's a bonus....thrift store at the same location.”
“Unbelievable. A must see. DIY, poetry, small press/ micro press, lit loving HEAVEN. Go for the books, stay for the art gallery or an event, if you’re lucky. Every community deserves such a valuable resource.”
“Gets the job done for a college bookstore. You can order online, which I would recommend. Lines can be very, very long at the beginning of the semester. Has what you need, but lacks options.”
“A perfect little bookstore. Very helpful and friendly staff, and they display their books in an unusually helpful way; I never leave without buying at least three books (often more!) because they put excellent books in prominent display. This store is truly a gem;Tosa is so lucky to have it. When I come to Milwaukee this place is a mandatory stop.”
“This place is just wonderful!!! There is so much ❤️ to look at, Miss Diane is very helpful in finding something special for that special someone!!! Catalogs of unique gifts and charms you can have made into pretty ? much anything you wish!!! Definitely a 5 Star ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ rating!!! And the prices are very reasonable!!! Check it out for yourself!!!”
“Seamus Is amazing he knew where my book was with a easy return process at end of semester. If I could I would live in the back of Ecampus because seamus is cool.”

“A wonderful surprise. The shelves are well curated with a nice selection of literary fiction. Whereas most mall bookstores traditionally sell generic bestsellers, this is a genuine used bookstore with a deep selection. I often go to this mall just for this bookstore. They have another location at Mitchell Airport that is even larger.”
