Book hunting in St Albans
The list above is sorted by distance from the centre, which is also a decent route plan: cluster your visits, start with the shops nearest 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.
