Cheers for the heads-up, might go and have a wee swatch as my recent venture reminded me how comforting it is just to stoat around bookshops. |
Yeah, they don't pay stacks of cash, I think I got about £12 for a pile of about 9 books, but they were all fairly common titles and one of the books had actually been bought FROM there. I just hate throwing out books but it was ones i would NEVER read again (hello Madam Bovary) and cleared shelf space. They don't take textbooks or anything though, or at least they weren't interested in any of mine.
Biblocafe the one I mentioned before, also take books and either offer cash or an exchange thing, so you get 'credits' to spend in store. You can then return THOSE books for more credits and so on.
I absolutely love stoating about bookshops, if I have an hour to kill intown I nearly always wind up in Borders and tan most of a book. That's probably not what they had in mind when they brought in couches right enough :-|
