Bookworm

If I could, I would ban Kindles. So they are super light, efficient, and you can carry a library around in your bag, but they are just dead. Books are organic and living to me.  Plus a good book is something we can sell in Brook Green. (Can't sell Kindles. Never had one donated. *sigh*)

Pretty much all fiction books are sold for £1.  Although super new ones and some hardback books are £2.

It's the non-fiction books which everyone comes in to see and what we mainly get donated.
History and Biography. Cooking and Gardening. Funny books. Health books. Maps, Travel books, and Language. You name it, we have probably had it.

Book on Wonder Woman - no, not me, the comic strip - sold yesterday for £10.

Asked for a book on how to fly fish, quick check and voila. We had one.

We also have some 1st Editions, which help us raise lots of money.

The most interesting types of books we have in are the older ones.
The oldest book we had in was from 1834 about gardens and garden design. We keep all the antique books together and I just look and imagine who read these before me. So do our customers. They love them!

Antique/Collectable books from £3

Plus if you are looking for out of print books, check us out (or any charity shop for that matter) as you might be lucky!

Someone was walking past at the right time and bought the Theatre/Noel Coward books and went away very happy. (I wasn't. They ruined my display....Only joking! It is there to be sold.) They said they had been after some of the books for years and now they come in every week to see what goodies we have in store.

We also get some funnies as you can see by this blog post here - Mirth and Laughter

A happy ending.
That's what you get in fairytale books and it's what I like at the end of the day.

Bye for now
