    hi

    i was wondering if there are any bookshops in dublin city, that sell most of the well known law books? from people such as shatter, wylie and co. i know easons do a few, and i am sure that they were order them for you if you wish, but it would be nice to shop about to compare prices.

    i know these publishers have websites but it would be nice to be able to pop into a shop and look through a book and decide to buy it there and then. the government shop in kildare st, is that any good? would they stock books like the Constitutional Review Group report 1996?

    any reply is most welcome.

    Try Hodges & Figgis, they stock most of the main titles.

    Hodges & Figgis, Waterstones and Fred Hanna (Easons) are all at the top of dawson st (parallel to grafton st and opposite the back entrance to Trinity).

    You can pick up bargain, if slightly out of date, law books in college second hand bookshops, chapters and greens (for real classics).

    If you want to read them before you buy, a college library is the best bet, or the national library.

    I might suggest that if you are going to go to college, wait until you get the reading lists from the lecturers before buying a book.

    Also, if you want the CRG's report, or other government publications, they are usually available on the internet free of charge.

    ah goodman,

    i was looking on the crg website looking for that, i was sure any government paper was available on the net as consultation and reports from ilrc were available. that has saved me a few bob. jesus pure blindness.

    thanks for the tips. nah i have finished my law degree about two summers ago so i have a fair idea of the good books but there are always the possibility of others that i have ignored so the colleges is a good tip. it was just i wanted to look at the books that might have been updated since 2005 eg hillary delaney's equity book books, just to make sure all the topics are still in it and unchanged and it been just an update. silly i know, i am kinda old fashioned in wanting to go into a shop and buy a book rather than by the net.
