The best second hand bookshops are in the West Port up to the go-go
triangle. West Port books is an excellent place to start. Load of
paperbacks etc. and cheap, plus a character all of it's own.

BTW they have a great selection of classical music scores too.

Oxfam on Nicolson St is one of the best of the charity shops for books,
ditto in Stockbridge.
