Barnardos

This particular branch of Barnardos is dedicated to books and as such has an amazing selection. On sunny days there are usually boxes of books displayed outside to entice bookworms in and it certainly did the job for me.
Unlike other charity shop, this one if very well categorised and organised and it makes it easy to browse for the type of books that you’re into. I spotted a few German books which I was seriously considering buying so I can brush up on my grammar but that’s just nowhere near as fun as the cookery books that I spied.
There were tonnes of cookery books from quick meals, elaborate gourmet dining recipes, cake recipes and many more mouth watering recipes on offer.
Prices are very reasonable considering what many of the books would have cost brand new and most of them are in excellent condition, plus it’s for a great cause.

This Barnado’s store is their book shop, selling a huge variety of books at very reasonable prices — generally around £2−3 a book. The staff are generally friendly and helpful and often quite knowledgeable. The fiction section to the left has a wide selection of books both old and new — a great place to pick up that latest bestseller or an unknown book by your favourite author. The shop is sensibly laid out with sections for science fiction, crime, biography, travel, Scottish books and children’s books as well as by subject area. A real gem of a charity shop, you could easily spend a good hour and a great deal of money in there!
