Book hunting in Rotherham

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.

1 of the 15 are general second-hand shops.

Donating books in Rotherham

14 of the shops here are charity-run and take book donations during opening hours. If you pay UK income tax, filling in a Gift Aid form at the till lets the shop claim an extra 25% on whatever your books sell for, at no cost to you. Shops pay to dispose of what they cannot sell, so a bad donation costs the charity money. The test before you pack a bag: would someone buy this today? Recent fiction, classics, cookery and children's books move. Old textbooks, out-of-date travel guides and anything damp or mouldy do not.

Our guide to where to donate books covers which shops suit which books, and what to do with a whole house clear-out.
