2008-05-30 21:16:36   Rick has quite a bit of books and a growing collection of DVDs. While the DVDs are the most competitively priced the books are- in fact it's possible to walk out with 2 bags/boxes of books for under 40$. Ricks' very accommodating and if you call to say you're on your way he's been known to wait up. There's a new store that's just opened and he can courier books back and forth between the two- I picked up an entire series (12 books) in this manner with no effort on my part ('cept cracking the wallet). Definitely high upon my list I stop there once a month at least. Give him a wish list and he'll also do a great job in trying to fill it. You should note tho that if you collect SciFi or Fantasy that winter in Rochester is hard on book collectors- they don't let them go- so get your bargains in the summer. —Purduephotog
