This Charity Bookstore Is Begging People To Stop Donating Their Copies Of ‘Fifty Shades Of Grey’

*It seems like there’s no end to the pain Fifty Shades Of Grey can inflict — intentional or otherwise. First, there was the dismal trilogy, followed shortly thereafter by the abomination of a movie starring Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan. And now, the number of people attempting to get rid of their Fifty Shades books is putting significant strain on a charity bookshop.
Come on, Fifty Shades — haven’t you done enough??
Goldstone Books, an Oxfam charity book shop in Swansea, South Wales, has officially put their foot down when it comes to EL James’ best-seller. Due to the ridiculously high number of donations, the shop will no longer accept copies of Fifty
Shades Of Grey.

“We appreciate all the donations — but less Fifty Shades and more sixties and seventies vinyl would be good,” employee Phil Broadhurst told the Mirror. “There are a lot of people obsessed by Fifty Shades of Grey, we get people bringing in new copies all the time. Enough is enough.”
The shop has “literally hundreds” of copies of the novel, and the employees have taken it upon themselves to create an actual Fifty* Shades Of Grey* fort

Having worked for charitable organizations I’ve seen lots of inappropriate donations, including the “Grey” books to the Friends of the Library for our books sale but never on this scale.
 
50 shades of gray is such a wonderful book.
It’s a great book.

It really burns well.

All these books would make a good amount of pellets for the next winter.

That’s not what we mean by books on Kindle. 😉

Seriously, paper should not be burned for heat. It produces lots of air pollution. Paper recycling might be a better option.
 
Serves the buyers right.

My guess is that hordes bought the book, attracted by its reviewed “risqué” content, and decided it was not worth their time or eye strength; now they can’t even get back a small part of what was spent.

ICXC NIKA.
 
Maybe the producers will see this and think twice about making the other 2 films?

If so many people are giving away their copies, that does not bode well for the future of the franchise.
