Next to my favourite Vinnies shop is Dan Murphy's which always has plenty of undercover parking. I never enter Dan Murphy's, but the other day I found a $10 note in its carpark, and I thought to myself, "What would Jesus have done?" So I went inside and turned it into wine.
Wine prices being what they are, I was left with enough change to drop into Vinnies for a quick look at their bookshelves. I know I have already enough unread books to last me another lifetime, but I couldn't pass up Geoffrey Blainey's "A Short History of the 20th Century" in perfect mint condition, and "AMO, AMAS, AMAT ... and all that - How to become a Latin Lover" which had been ink-stamped by the Dickson College Library (barcode 1731753 / classification NF 470 MOU) but, judging by its clean condition, never left the lending library before ending up at Vinnies.
As any bibliophile will tell you, "It's not hoarding if it's books".
