secondhand books
 

Hi,

Does anywhere know where I can buy second hand books-novels- in the East Algarve area, or is anyone part of a book swap club?

There is a Wednesday afternoon book club at the Golf Clubhouse at Costa Esuri. 4pm - 6pm.

You can take books, borrow books and I think there is a link to a reading clb as well.

Works for us.

Tavira auction usually has loads of books. Also, there is a bookshop (the name escapes me at the moment) just around the corner from the Mad Hatters bar that does second hand books - they take them in too, giving you a credit on books that you want.

Skippers Tavern in Tavira, on the way down from the train station, has a free book swap and also a book club but this doesn't run over the summer - likely to start again in the Autumn.

We also have a big bag of books ready to sell, just haven't got round to doing a list - mostly modern contemporary fiction - what kind of thing do you like? PM if you want.

Also, the Tavira Treasure charity shop has a load of English books (opposite Skippers Tavern.)

I know it opens at funny hours but not easy to park near there to find out, anyone know?

You could try one of these numbers for info:

Further information can be obtained from the shop manageresses, Teresa on 281328011/917872559 and Maureen at 913617991.

We have a charity bookshop in Estoi, on the church square, open mornings from Weds to Friday - books in many languages including lots in English. You donate what you think is fair for the books. They will always gladly accept donated books too.

I have the same problem, but am located on the silver coast up near Torres Vedras north of Lisbon. I have loads of books to swap or donate and have even approached the local library, but they didn't show much enthusiasm when I suggested an english language section. So I am also looking for a swap (BOOKS) club or other outlet in this area.

Re: secondhand books
 

I find this one useful,

Friday afternoons there is a book stall at Calico Park near Cacela Velha. At the caravan park. sign posted from en125.
You can also have a drink or something to eat there in the bar. Also has swimming pool and nice views

You can buy a book for 2e or loan for 50c

The couple that run it used to have the book shop in Manta Rota.

No worries, I needed a kick to get it done so am going to sort out the list on Friday when I have a bit of time :)
