Looking back through my posts, I was surprised to see that it is nearly two years ago that I commented on the closure of the British Heart Foundation Charity Shop in town. That closure continues to be a sad loss to the community in terms of books. Not only did they have a good selection, it was well organised.
Fareham has a dedicated Oxfam Bookshop, which is pretty good. Generally, though, I am disappointed with bookshops, to which the standard reponse would be well, volunteer and do something about it. That would be interesting.
I wonder what the attitude is towards books on the part of the charity shops? I have toyed with the idea of doing that, but don’t want to commit to anything like that at the moment.
