Charity Shop finds

[angerball]

If it's not too far for you, I'd definitely recommend travelling the extra distance to the F.G one.

 

Cool! I'm not too far from Bristol so I'll definately give them both a go.

There's a wonderful little charity shop in Wymondham, Norfolk that has an entire floor devoted to books. It's like heaven, but it reads better .

I have a great little cat's charity shop near me where their books are 50p each. I am a massive cat lover as well so I can always find an excuse to buy another book there:)

Great Expectations, Vanity Fair and Wuthering Heights are three of my favourite books, and I'm reading A Tale of Two Cities at this very moment (well, not at this particluar moment as that would inolve the tricky feat of reading and typing at the same time, and... oh, nevermind! )

I was very pleased they were books on my wish list who could resist them

Our local Help The Aged charity shops often has some good books at very low prices, but once again I was too slow in getting a couple that I'd spotted last Monday, went back in on Wednesday and they'd gone

[Polka Dot Rock]

Hooray! My local charity shops have delivered unto me, for once!

 

In Shelter, I found a brand new copy of Nicole Krauss' Man Walks Into A Room (£2.95) and a nice little Penguin of Lucky Jim by Kingsley Amis (£1.25).

 

Then in the Douglas Macmillan Hospice shop, I got Chocolat and The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time for the grand total of £1!

 

Bargain! And it's for charideee so no guilt required

[Renniemist]

Sounds as if your day is getting better my the minute Aimz:lol:

[happyanddandy]

I am going tomorrow to hospice shop and am looking forward to it!

[Janet]

I bought The Interpretation of Murder by Jed Rubenfeld in the Dorothy House charity shop in Warminster for 59p on Friday!

[wiccibat]

I bought Delia Smith's Summer Collection from the BHF the other day, but I don't tend to buy books as our library is so good.

The Red Cross shop in Bexley is good for designer label clothes, but the Ellenor hospice shop thinks it is a bespoke antique shop and is very expensive.

[happyanddandy]

We now have 3 charity shops within a few yards of each other and they all have big collections of books.

 

Found 4 good books posted on 'what Books Came Into Your House Today'

I know. I like P G Wodehouse, and if I´m not there to rescue them, they probably just go in the bin. It would be better if we had a separate shelf for tatty books at a lower price, but alas, I am but a small cog in the wheel. I might suggest it to the manager the next time I see her, see what she thinks.

[Raelou]

I must admit I don't go in oxfam, I generally tend to go to the other less known charity shops, the cats protection league, age concern,PDSA,help the aged,and some other local charity shops.It's not that I wouldn't ,even though it is a charity shop it don't look like one,(if that makes any sense)

[sib]

I know, the Oxfam shops are pretty smart - even if I do say so myself. But, as I say, the books are expensive compared with other places. It depends where it is, too. Ours isn´t too bad for clothes and bric-a-brac, but if it´s in a posh area, or down south, they bung big prices on things.

Bought a hardback copy of The Truth by Terry Pratchett for £2.50. It is in really good condition - hardly a scratch on it, so quite a good find.

[Polka Dot Rock]

Another three for me:

 

Money by Martin Amis from the Marie Curie shop (89p, paid

[Suzanne123]

Jane Eyre in v good condition

The first charity shop book I have ever brought!
