Book hunting in York

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.

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.
