A tip for all those who do not know this, but the majority of Charity Shops have books for sale and I always go into them when passing, just to look at the books. I have bought some wonderful books in great condition at very reasonable prices in these shops.

I have probably bought at least 40% of my books from Charity shops, or second hand book shops. Most are in excellent condition!

Yesterday I bought two books in one of our Charity Shops here in town. Both are rather new and both can be purchased at W H Smith. The Railway one cost me £2.00 (£19.99 at Smith's) and the cricket autobiography cost me £2.40 (£9.99 at Smith's). Both books are in excellent condition.

I have found that some of these smaller towns are far better for book bargains in the Charity shops than in the bigger cities/towns. Hopefully this week I will take my wife out for a drive to Selby where in the past I have got some great books as they have a number of Charity shops there.
