My favorite charity shop is where I found
I found a book called Great People of the Bible and how they lived with multiple pressed flowers inside.
Today I'll be visiting a bookstore that always has free books that they can't sell. Usually it's cookbooks, Christian self help, and dime novels.
What's you're coolest find?

I need to go to them more often, I don't think I've ever found anything good, all I ever see is Christian books and other random stuff. I almost got a copy of a Gravity's Rainbow hardcover off Amazon for $185.00 which I believe should have been worth ~$300.00 if the seller was correct about the condition, but they ended up cancelling the order

i cant remember the name of the book but i found it randomly in the history section of a used book store because it was in a bin for books about the 1840s and i thought well i like the 1840s this might be good and it was really interesting, the diary of some dude who was a fur trader and then became a politician

i found a book about the origin of Ebola called “The Hot Zone.” it was a disgusting and graphic read about what Ebola does to your body and the journey to understand how it spreads etc. it is an experience i wish i could relive as i’ve always been interested in medical history.

I know that book!! I read it in highschool and it's what made me want to be a doctor or nurse! Or a virologist.
However..I don't have the nerve for that.
I read it right after I read a book about the black plague.

i’m with you on that, i think having to deal with live bodies wouldn’t be too bad, but the dead ones would just creep me out too much.
do you remember the name of the plague book? i haven’t been reading much recently but that sounds like it would be right in my wheelhouse

I picked up Catch Me If You Can out of a free book bin once, it was a pretty fun read and probably something I wouldn’t have read otherwise

This one. They made a movie starring Leo DiCaprio
out of it. It’s about a con man doing all kinds of crazy shit like pretending to be a pilot and a surgeon and stuff

I found The Scramble for Africa: The White Man's Conquest of the Dark Continent from 1876 to 1912 and Spain Betrayed: The Soviet Union in the Spanish Civil War in the same second hand book store.
The Scramble for Africa: The White Man's Conquest of the Dark Continent from 1876 to 1912 is a comprehensive book on the history of colonization in Africa, mostly drawing from primary source documents. Very interesting to see the reasoning and methods put forward at the time.
Spain Betrayed: The Soviet Union in the Spanish Civil War is pretty much all primary documents on the Soviet Union's support during the Spanish civil war with some explanation in between. Good but kinda boring to be honest.

UPDATE: THIS IS WHAT I FOUND TODAY
I wasn't able to stay too long because a local crack head stopped next to me and was prowling the area.
But the book shop had 5 big boxes of books! The most I'd ever seen.
