Here's a good tip for anyone looking for second hand English books.
The English Shop in Luzern will be going out of business on Friday, 24th March. She has a whole basement full of English books to give away. Expats have been dropping them off over the years and now she has to get rid of all of them. I just picked up bunch of Donna Leon books.......like new and for free! Where do you find things for free in Switzerland? I would give the shop a call before going. I'm not sure what's left. If you're interested in English books for kids, she is selling all kids' stuff for CHF.10.00. Believe me, it's worth checking out!

Hi Koko,

You originally posted this attached to a different thread about books. I've moved it to the "free stuff" area and posted it as its own separate thread.

When you have useful information like this and it doesn't directly relate to an existing thread, please post it as a new thread in the appropriate area.

Anyway, I hope our readers find your tip useful!

Have you tried your local library? They often have English sections.
