Book hunting in Dundee
Nearest-first is a decent route plan on its own: cluster your visits, start with the shops closest to each other, and save the outliers for days you're passing anyway. Charity shops re-shelve constantly, most put new donations out every day or two, so a shop that was quiet on Saturday can be a different shop by Wednesday. Weekday mornings beat weekend afternoons, and it's always worth asking a volunteer when the book trolley comes out.
If you want the odds on your side, read our guides to finding good books in charity shops and spotting the books worth grabbing before you set out.
