Charity shop (thrift store)? A book costs me 50p / £1 to buy, can take as long as I want to read it, then donate it back when finished.

- dTal 7y agoThe book selection at generic charity shops is generally extremely poor, and not by accident. Charity shops are too limited in space to stock every book that gets donated, so any book that isn't deemed likely to sell is dumped in the trash. This leaves them with exclusively lowest-common-denominator books. Source: volunteered in a charity shop briefly. Saw them throw away a copy of Le Morte d'Arthur, while anything by Danielle Steel automatically went on the shelf even if there were three copies of it already. Don't donate your books to charity shops, folks!
