LeazesMag 0 Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Other than the market, is there any other good 2nd hand bookshops in town, or outside town ? I've been told there is a good one at Alnwick, bit of a trek but I suppose it would be a day out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 44098 Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Ebay is your best bet. Or Amazon market. My dad goes to the one in Alnwick a canny bit. They have an extensive namby pamby section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 4355 Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 If you want a browsing experience then I don't know of anything to suggest, if you know what you want then Ebay is the best bet - people sell paperbacks for pennies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeazesMag 0 Posted April 19, 2011 Author Share Posted April 19, 2011 bought a few I've been looking for on ebay recently. Fancied looking around some old bookshops like they had in Scarborough and Whitby. Might have a trip to Alnwick one day, I wondered if there was anywhere up the coast etc, I expect the rates etc in town will be too high for 2nd hand bookshops hence out of town is more likely.

trophyshy 7066 Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 (edited) There's no day out, but the best and biggest source of cheap second hand books is Abebooks.co.uk - they are a network of second hand books and claim to have over 140 million available. Â I have found some very obscure French interest books through them. Edited April 19, 2011 by trophyshy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â do you go looking under the counters too I've never been in there for years (the bookshop anyway) but I always remember the Paul Raymond packs there. It was a good bookshop as well btw. The Amnesty International one is actually pretty good although I couldn't quite see you patronising the place. There's a British Red Cross one opposite the Civic too which is good (or is it Oxfam?). They're both quite expensive imo like when, as others have said, Amazon and Ebay is so cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â toffee nosed git I don't mind, I've got new books, 2nd hand, I'll read them from libraries, I'll lend them, borrow them. Â I've got boxes full that I want to get rid of tbh, like my old LP's they are just taking up space and I'm not going to read them again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
