Bookstore tips for New Glasgow
A few things worth knowing before you work through New Glasgow's bookstores:
- Come back seasonally at Coles. Stock turns over with the publishing seasons. The shop you browsed in spring is a different shop by autumn.
- The used section is underpriced everywhere. Books are heavy and slow to sell, so used shelves price to move. First editions hide here regularly.
- Check condition before you pay. Used books: check for missing pages, water damage, and cracked spines. A quick flip-through takes ten seconds.
- Check the events board. Book clubs, writing groups, story times — bookshops are community centres that happen to sell books.
