Roger Protz's Ultimate Encyclopedia of Beer from Oxfam in York
There’s a great little Oxfam bookshop that I tend to pop into each Christmas in the hope of some eco-friendly, altruistic and (hopefully) cheap chrimbo presents.
Previous years have resulted in some gems of presents and some great popular science finds for myself. There seems to be a continuous supply of Good Beer Guides stretching back into the nineties and noughties and is one of the only charity shops that doesn’t have a token copy of Bridget Jones on the shelf (I dare you to find a charity shop that doesn’t carry this permanently!).
Today didn’t let me down, coming across not only one but two copies of Roger Protz’s The Ultimate Encyclopedia of Beer. In the end I opted for the pictured copy as it was £3.99 (the Yorkshire side of me made the decision based on the fact the other copy was £4.99!).
I’m actually going back for the other copy on Tuesday as a gift but I had my hands full today and was short of coppers…hopefully it’s still there!

I’m a charity shop addict, Morley has hundreds on it’s high street and there’s a great Oxfam in Headingley. I seem to collect popular science and Penguin classics that I’ll never get around to reading.
I never did get back for the other copy of Protz’s encyclopaedia though… (Quote)
