Serendipitious Finds In Charity Book Shops...

[sandyRoe]

Came across The First Cuckoo, Letters to the Times since 1900, and The girl with the dragon Tattoo, in a Quaker Charity bookshop yesterday.
Have you found any interesting books in charity shops?

I tend not to buy in charity shops, rather give them my own unwanted books .... but I would do if I did, very good value and sometimes you find a gem.

I once bought a book from a charity shop and was excited when I realised it was a first edition.
I went on Ebay to check its value and found it was worth exactly hat I had paid for it lol

LOL. It's not often we see a Freudian slip in action here in AB. Mrs O, looking at Boxtops St Paddy's day headgear, writes 'hat' for 'that'. :-)
