Second hand books I've bought

The most depressing side of charity shop books is seeing your favourite treasured book on the shelves for peanuts.

You wouldn't be too depressed round here. The cheapest paperbacks in the local Oxfam are £3 now and hard backs will likely cost a tenner. And they are not in pristine condition by any means.

Me and my Yorkshire pal (who won't buy anything unless it's discounted)   boycott Oxfam, we expect paperbacks to be under a pound. Our favourite charity shop does them for 10p. British Heart Foundation books are also pricey. The 10p charity shop manger say its because they are forced to apply generic prices whereas she has autonomy on price labelling.
