One time I missed the shop hours and arrived 10 minutes after he closed, I called while he was still inside and he allowed me to make a purchase!! I have a rule when it comes to bookshops, I will always support my local bookstore before I go to a big name retailer, and I will not purchase books on Amazon or any other online store. I also am grateful that my local library is just a few blocks from me too.

When it comes to customer service and quality of product, Melissa's knocks it out of the park. The store is unassuming, located in a quiet corner of Westland Mall, but I had nothing short of a five-star experience and love the items I purchased. The owners - Renee and Brian - are knowledgeable, friendly, and very helpful. I will definitely be back next time I'm in town!

If you are not-too-picky and willing to hunt around, this store is a gem. It has been in business forever. The building is ancient. The upstairs: foreboding. When I was a kid I'd call in to radio contests once in awhile and if you won you had to go claim the album in person. Quad Cities, Galesburg, and here - Burlington, at Weird Harold's. Very large collection of all genres. I routinely find a record here that blows my mind, that it was sitting on the shelf. For who knows how long. Pricing is excellent. Pls don't listen to the fool who complained about prices and political hats. Who cares. It's about the music, period. Yep-new albums are pricey. Welcome to reality. But the used records are priced very well. I have only once asked for them to relook a price and they agreed. Their pricing may be creeping upward but not by much. I encourage y'all to bring in your old records that you don't want so that those who are collecting can buy them...

(or any month for that matter) WEIRD HAROLD'S I have been here twice and both times i almost got lost in the upstairs record collection. There are 4 parts of this store, the first floor has a collection of CD's and some art and framed posters, the 2nd section is half way up the stairs and it is apparently a place to do your own pottery. Haven't checked that out yet but it could be fun. Continue up the stairs to see a GIANT collection of costumes, most of them for rental. If you're two hours away from here and have a costume party to go to, this is the place to go, it didn't seem expensive, like 25 to 50 bucks for a 5 day rental and then you don't clutter your closet with a Mr Potatohead costume. Finally to the right of that is the equally giant collection of records... I don't know you're taste so i won't say they have EVERYTHING but i was finding comedy albums that aren't even on CD.

I guess he bumped his head or something. No reason to treat your SO like that in front of customers. So anyway the kayak was good and the little lady was super helpful. $35 is good price for rental. But if you're going to big hollow they rent kayaks there. The last complaint is a piece of foam I lost was 22 freaking dollars! Unreal,it was not a 22 dollar piece of foam I can guarantee that. I wouldn't waste my time. The whole situation was just to weird. Don't don't be rude to your wife/ girlfriend in front of customers.

He devised a trip down the Mississippi that met our skill level. We were itching to get on the widest part of the river and he got us there but he also recommended we 'stay right' where possible. We encountered no barge traffic but if we had, his advice on staying right would have helped us immeasurably. A slight drawback was that they are building a highway right smack in front of his business but his workaround for that was very good. All in all, a memorable day and he made it happen.
