If you enjoy hunting through piles of books for hidden treasure, this is the place for you. The books are intuitively organized, and the proprietor checked on us to make sure we were finding what we wanted. My in-laws want to come here every time they visit.

I really love Rick's because there is a great find every single time I'm in there. And Rick has the best prices in town for books of all genres and movies. Absolutely great on a bookstore crawl and highly recommended. It's very stuffed to the gills, but dig and you will find great stuff.

I love this book store!!!! It has a really nice and warm atmosphere/vibe, and the books are in great shape. The owner is so nice and came to greet us and gave us the layout of the store. A great place to visit and find amazing books!!!

How do you determine what price you will pay if I bring in used books to sell to you?

He sells his books for the best deals, almost always below 4$ so hes not going to buy them for more than that. Jesus very fair though and it's a great store.

I am cleaning out my Godmother's house and have boxed up almost 1800 books that we need to get rid of. I usually donate to AmVets but they are not taking books at this time. My question is, Do you pick up donations/trades?

I'd try calling them. I was recently left many books and I loaded them in my car and dropped them off at my neighborhood's Little Free Libraries.

I have a first edition Gone With the Wind as well as a 4 book set of Billings Baronial and Eccestical Antiquities of Scotland dated 1848. Does this bookstore purchase anything like those ?

Rick's is a good place to start calling. But there are other boo shops in the Rochester area. Good luck!

Rick will work trades,but as far as I know it is only for store credit. I've swap boxes of paperbacks there. If it's cash you need, LetGo, Craigslist, eBay.

Do you offer book signings for local indie authors?

They might, but it’d have to be outside. The inside isn’t very big; most of the space is filled with books, some of which are stacked on the floor.

U guys by books

This time of year much of their stock comes from customers since the flea markets are closed. They don't typically buy hardcover books. They also buy media such as DVDs and audiobooks.
