I've had a lot more luck with science fiction in professional shops than in charity shops. In the latter I tend to find only mainstream fiction and non-fiction. It's exceedingly rare to find any sci-fi at all. I wish I knew one where people brought it in. One thing I enjoy is when people get rid of their computer science textbooks. They are sometimes older editions, but can be had for less than 10% of the original price. It's rare, though, so just have to keep going and take the opportunity when it arises. |

what books are sold: I would like to understand the proportion of books sold by genre. Shops have a very high proportion of thrillers and crime novels.
likelihood of donation: Perhaps some fans are more likely to keep books than others. In my donations, thriller & crime books are donated first, I keep my SF.
This leads to a low chance of success in finding science fiction paperback for me. I guess SF (myself included) are just hoarders.....
