About

Set deep in the woods of Central New York,

RICK GRUNDER – BOOKS is located an hour's drive from both Palmyra, New York, and Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania, places where Mormonism began.  In a setting such as this, amazing things can happen.

 

As the first Chairman of the Brigham Young University Library Bibliographic Department until 1981, then an antiquarian bookseller for forty-three years, I have worked full-time as a specialist in this field for nearly half a century, selling upwards of forty million dollars' worth of rare books, manuscripts, artifacts, pamphlets, newspapers, documents and other ephemera.

I have issued more than a hundred detailed catalogs of rare material, plus the five-volume historical reference work, Mormon Parallels: A Bibliographic Source (2008; 2014; 2018).
