Hi Tracey, Live Arico Charity shops have HUNDREDS of books, alot of them new (holiday makers leave them), depends where you live, We have a shop in San Eugenio/Torviscos area, one in Los Cristianos and one in Silencio, see Live Arico thread for directions. Theres everything from cookbooks to Cookson x

Go and see forum member Caroletenerife in the charity shop she has loads all in good condition,you can get 3 for a euro,Go down the road past Harleys and on the other side you will see Young Golfers estate agents "Propertiesareus" and you will see the sign for the charity shop by Las Carabellas, Just past Gordon Ramseys and the Chinese buffet.

I use the Live Arico Charity Shop in Los Cristianos to buy all my books. I can get through 3 a week no problems. It also helps having a mate who has more books than a library that I borrow them off as well. You know who you are haha ;)

Puerto Colon (upstairs) can be accessed from halfway down the hill.

I use LA shops too! I always take them back after I´ve read them each time to help keep up their stocks. I have to put a little tick on the inside cover as I sometimes pick up ones I have read before! so apologies for defacing the books! :sorry:

And he is still there on Saturdays, although I thought I heard him say only until February. In any case, a couple of other stalls there have a smaller selection of second hand books if you're desperate.

I struggled to find second hand books elsewhere this time.
