Oxfam notoriously a scam; only 48% goes to charity. Where?s the money going?

Ideal for cheap second-hand books at a great price.

Good selection as always, they refresh their stock regularly. Found a book on African philosophy from 1969 today! Well worth a browse.

I go through phases of traipsing round charity shops. Usually, when work slows down, I'm procrastinating doing uni related work and I am in need of some cheap retail therapy. This is why Oxfam is ideal for these times. Have a leisurely stroll through Queen's Park, stop off for some lunch or a coffee and then treat yourself to some cheap, cheap retail therapy. Best of all you feel better about yourself because it's all in the name of charity. So, it really doesn't matter if you don't need another teapot, cookbook or the 'really cool funky' nodding dog ornament is actually a bit naff once you get home.

The Govanhill Oxfam is one of the many Oxfams that specialise in books. Because of their extensive network, they are very effective in terms of pricing: it is rare to find an old record or first edition at a bargain price, but it does have a very well appointed selection, with plenty of books arranged by specialism. After a few years where the shop struggled to open all day, they now have a team who seem to really know their stuff: not the cheapest, but usually fair, with lots of vinyl and even comic books, now and again. The specialisation of charity shops in recent years has made them less of a joy to browse, but this stands as something of a Southside oasis, almost compensating for the lack of a proper book shop.

I like to think of myself as quite the charitable type. Unlike Terry Wogan I think I'd be quite happy with a four or five grand fee (plus expenses) for doing Children in Need, and I once listened to one of those Shelter representatives in the street for almost 30 seconds before pretending I had a train to catch. So by default, I like Oxfam. I'm not one for buying vintage clothes, but if i find myself browsing in here I always feel I should at least buy something, leading to a shelf full of ornamental mice and ducks that cost about 50p each, and might prevent me going to hell come judgement day.
