I used to work at the Oxfam bookshop on Byres Road in Glasgow. I have to agree that shopping secondhand is ace. Stuff comes through the door there that you would never, ever see in any high street shop or on Amazon. I have some great finds from there. Also, I like to read books in hardback. Nobody likes to buy books in hardback, though, so they tend to be about the same price as a secondhand paperback, making them actually affordable. Bonus.
