British Heart Foundation – Books & Music

Focused completely on books and music, with all sorts of unique and unusual titles. An excellent place for a browse as the merchandise tends to change often enough. Friendly staff are knowledgeable at what’s in stock. The best part is that you can feel no guilt about spending money here as it goes to support a very good cause.

This is a great branch of the British Heart Foundation — I’ve never seen one like it before, I’ve only seen the one with clothes in it as well. It’s located on West Street, right near that big church and as the name suggests, it sells only multimedia stuff and books. But there are loads of book bargains to be had here. There is literally a whole wall of books all carefully arranged into sections — some which look pretty new and hardly read at all. If like me, you’re into your books, you’ll find this is quite a good place to stop off as there are quite a few recent books, current top sellers that they sell off for around £3 — much better than paying £7.99 in shops!
The music section sadly isn’t all that great, most of the stuff tends to be a little outdated and too old for my tastes, it’s also all well used and while I don’t mind buying pre read books I tend to be a little fussy on scratched, cracked and dusty tape cases, especially as I don’t have a tape player!
However if you’re looking for something old and daft this might be a good place to pick it up.
Overall you have the added bonus that the money you hand over is going to charity.
