I live out of town but whenever I get to hburg, this store is always a place I visit. The card selection is amazing, unique, and reasonably priced! Browse at your leisure, the owner wont bother you. Love this store!

I was excited to visit Main Street while on vacation. The store hours were listed as open online and on their door. Disappointed to find them closed.

You never know what youre gonna find or can find here. Small space crammed full of books, magazines, records, DVDs, VHS cassettes, and a plethora of other ephemera all haphazardly organized to facilitate browsing and discovering what you didnt know you needed. Bob, the proprietor is a quiet and friendly guy willing to help you locate what youre interested in. Warning: he only accepts cash. Bonus: often has free stuff sitting outside of the store. Also, the store is right next to a free public parking garage.

Great place to dig for comics! Boxes upon boxes full of assorted titles. Come prepared with some time to spend and leave with treasured finds!

Look, the store is a little shabby, but it serves its purpose wonderfully. I go in there when I have extra time and just want to peruse the unused and discarded. If I want a tape or a book and am not sure what the title of it is yet, I come here to find it.

I love this store. It is cluttered in the best way possible, just how I like my used book stores. The man there was very friendly and helpful. Definitely plan on going back.

You have to dig if youre looking for something specific, or ask the owner. He will know! This is a classic bookstore where you will find something interesting, for sure!

Note : bring cash or check, no credit cards. Great selection of all sorts of books, but not well organized. Very cluttered and difficult to navigate through if you are a larger person or carrying a big stack of books. Other than needing a much larger space, I found the prices reasonable ($16 for 13 books) and the owner friendly.

Dont touch. Dont open. Barely even look. If you can even fit in this mess of a store you will be unwelcomed by the owner.
