Nicholas Richmond's favourite 2nd hand book hunts
Nicholas Richmond, 68, a retired architect from Polwarth, chooses his favourite spots for second- hand book hunting.
1 West Port Half a dozen bookshops within yards of one another – enough that they even have their own book festival.
2 Inverleith Row Several bookshops, and close to the Botanics to sit and read your new finds.
3 Southside Highlights include Tills Bookshop in Hope Park Crescent and Barnado's in Clerk Street.
4 Tollcross Not for specialist bookshops, but there are plenty of charity shops to plunder.
5 Christian Aid sale at St Andrew's and St George's Church Only comes once a year, but it's worth waiting for.
