Did it move recently? I can vaugly remember something that is telling me that it moved
am going to sell off the "library" which now fills in the boot of my car, big boot too. I would rather not waste petrol on carrying them around looking for a store to buy them

I don't know Dublin too well, but I know that a new one opened a few blocks away on... Parnell St.(?) (the street perpendicular near the top of O'Connell St). Its bigger and shiny, so I don't know if they have a lot of secondhand books like the one on Abbey(?) St.

Last time I checked, the one on Abbey St. was still open too.

Yup, the branch has moved to Parnell St, and it is absolutely MASSIVE :eek: Seriously, you could spend days havin a good browse.. all their second-hand books are on the 2nd floor, along with CDs/DVDs. I know the one on Abbey St is closing, I just dont know if it has already?

I think the one on Abbey St. has closed.

Abbey Street branch has been closed for months but the new Parnell Street is open for a while - bigger than the previous one by several multiples. Go there regularly enough - excellent selection.

I miss the convenience of the Abbey St location, but I recently passed by the new shop on Parnell St and it's freaking huge! I can't wait til I can find the time to go in and browse properly; if the window displays are anything to go by, it'll be a treasure-trove of temptation

It's bloody great.

Me: "Do you have this copy of an extremely famous literary novel which I need for my course?"
Easons: "Computer says no..."

Chapters: "Ah, yes, THAT book. Well, not right now- that's epic poetry, which isn't that popular. My own copy is the Penguin classic black, but you'd probably get a much cheaper Everyman edition. Hang on...yeah, I can get a courier to drop that over later in the afternoon. It'll cost you four euro...is that ok?"

This actually happened. I LOVE chapters.

Interesting aside there Dave3x. I was just in there today and when at the register (incidentally not to buy HP), the two people at the till were discussing books and lending them to each other - never really hear that in Easons. The staff there seem to actually care about reading and books.
