    All but 3 books here are from The Thrifty Peanut!
    Caroline H.

    I love this used bookstore!! They had so many books on my list to read (mystery/thriller) at very good prices. They have some priced as low at $1, up to about $12.99. I picked up 13 books there (a lot of hardbacks) and only spent $50!

    The store breaks down roughly to history, sci-fi, religion and dogs on the second floor, and romance and cookbooks on the first floor. A good, not great, selection.

    Amazing book about an amazing individual! This book is fantastic, motivational and inspirational! I highly recommend it!

    Super overpriced and just not a fun store. Everything is organized relatively well, but it's still overwhelming wall to wall books.

    This place is a neat place to peruse old cds and dvds, and get cheap tickets to The Warehouse shows…read morein advance. They really don't buy back much, if you're trying to unload your cd or dvd collection. They only really want the newest of releases it seems and mostly, even then, they offer you back a mere pittance in return, making you feel like an early 19th century British beggar wandering the store for alms when you're trying to peddle your wares. "Alms, sir?...Alms?...Alms for the cd, kind sir?...Alms for the dvd to feed a kind, gentle and yet meager young lad, sir?...Alms?" This is a great store to waste some time in, but it is not the store in which to get your bankroll back on Seasons 1-5 of "Desperate Housewives" dvd collection that you bought at Sam's Club back in February... I'm just saying...

    No avatar, no scion, no vestige of that people remains. On the lips of the strange race that now…read moredwells there their names are myth, legend, dust. I can only pray that this review turns the tide... Not a fantastic music store, but the best one in town by a long shot. Cheap used vinyl, which is good--I own the entire Steely Dan catalog because of this store (with the exception of "Can't Buy A Thrill", every copy of which I find looks like it's been underwater since 1976), for which I am forever grateful. The problem of course is that they were very overpriced when it came to used CDs--who is going to spend eight dollars on a used Folk Implosion album? Someone, perhaps, but not me. Not that it matters, of course: no one buys CDs anymore anyway. The last time I set foot inside, there was a 60 year old woman looking for a Skid Row EP, which sadly illustrates what most of their clients were like. Ah life. The store is closing soon.

    This is a one of a kind Record Store. A place for everyone from casual listeners to true collectors…read moreshould feel welcome and comfortable at Rick's Records. Over 160,000 records, cd's, cassettes, dvd's and collectibles of all types. If your looking for a rare record or a newly released record, you'll find it at Rick's. There isn't another record store like this in Shreveport or NW Louisiana for that matter.. I recommend Rick's Records There isn't another store like this anywhere

    While visiting in the area I found out about Rick's Records through word of mouth. Already going in…read moreI knew a couple of things: 1) quirky record shopping spot but worth a visit, 2) space is tight in the shop, and 3) categorization is hit and miss but there is plenty to browse through no matter which way you make your way through within the shop. There are all sorts of music and music-related items sold here that goes beyond vinyl but vinyl is what Rick has the most of. I saw cassettes, VHS, CD's, apparel, books, posters, vintage toys or memorabilia, and even laser picture discs here too. As you walk around you will see old and vintage posters and promotions pinned up that make the visit even more interesting. I found some good gems and like everyone else has explained in their reviews you will have a good 2-5 minute way to get a true price for your finds. Rick and his partner will inform you on the price after, what it seems, they make their evaluation on the records and might have to reference/look up pricing. The pricing was no doubt on the higher side of what you would find on Discog's for your pull of records but for me that was okay. I knew the records I stumbled upon could be rare (without checking on Discogs myself during my visit). I found a 1976 version of Patti Smith Horses that was in pretty decent condition for under $30 which is a fair price. Next time I am in the area I will definitely be back and make it a point to look for records within the 1950's - 90's era.
