What to expect
Goodwill stores price low and turn stock over fast. Books are usually a few bays sorted loosely by fiction and non-fiction, with hardcovers and paperbacks priced flat, so a quick scan every visit beats a long browse.
This one is stop 1 of 3 on the Massachusetts Avenue run, a walk that takes in the thrift stores either side of it.
