This Black and queer owned bookstore with an open pantry in the back will bring so many people together! Already the events being planned and the books being sold are impactful. And what an amazing opening day they had! The pantry was full and the book shelves were empty by 4 PM! What could be better? Can't wait to see how they grow.

They also have a nice selection of used books and large selection of new books. The book deals (of the BOGO variety) inspired me to buy a number of books. The bookseller was very kind as I was trying to figure out which books to buy. This was a great stop on the Rochester Book Crawl and I'm glad to have been introduced to this bookstore! I'm sure I'll return if I'm looking to buy more books.

This bookstore is definitely the cutest in Rochester…read more There are two main rooms that create themed ambiance with eye-catching decor. The store sells all kinds of romance books, from your traditional romance genres to fantasy, dystopian, etc. I visited on the Rochester Book Crawl, and I'm glad I did because I'm not sure I would have otherwise-- romance is not usually my genre. However, I found many books and other items that I was interested in. There's also a great selection of bookish accessories like kindle covers and charms, stickers, pins, and book totes.

Rick's Recycled Books is the best book store in the city of Rochester. Yes, I know, there's Barnes…read more& Noble in Pittsford, and if you're looking for a Starbucks latte or kid's toys that's a nice place to go too. But if you're looking for an incredible selection of books stacked floor to ceiling. amazing science fiction paperbacks or mysteries, walls of fiction classic or modern, books on history, self-help, the occult, you name it, this has always been my go-to spot. It's wonderful, it's affordable, you can lose yourself for hours there. A real ornament to the city of Rochester. There is one sad thing about it, however. Recently Rick, the founder and owner, passed away from pancreatic cancer. His son Richard has taken it over, but Richard also is facing spinal surgery and will have to close the shop for at least two months if he can't find a replacement to watch the bookstore while he's recovering, or cover the bills. A friend of the shop created a Gofundme page for Richard and Rick's Recycled Books at: https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-with-medical-bills-and-money-to-keep-my-store The loss of the bookstore would leave a vast, vast hole in the intellectual life of this city, and any reader of this review who can help, should. If only to celebrate the memory of Rick Senior himself, a great guy, and the creator of the best bookstore this town has.

I enjoy the fact that he doesn't mark the books up out of my price range- I buy used because I cannot always afford to get new books.

POST - COVID REVIEW - I have been trying to stop at this bookstore since COVID began, but they have…read morevery limited hours for the public. I stopped at another store (Touch of Grayce) in Geneseo, who happens to know the bookstore owner very well and they gave me the website for the online bookstore. I was very excited to be able to support a local bookstore in this manner post COVID. https://bookshop.org/shop/sundancebooks I only ordered books listed IN STOCK at Sun Dance. I did not order any new books or upcoming books. I did this on Friday 8/21. On Monday, 8/23, the email updated with a tracking for the package showed they printed a label (which conveniently converts it to shipping in your email, which is NOT accurate). It is 8/26 now and they still have not shipped the books, the package is still listed as having a shipping label printed. Incidentally, I live exactly one town over. These books aren't going a distance. I thought I would support local, instead of a chain bookstore or the big book jungle. If I needed these books quickly, I would be sorely disappointed. I doubt I will order through them again.
