Hughes & Hughes bookshop in Dundalk

Graceland · 2010-02-26 20:21:44

I was shocked to hear that Hughes & Hughes bookshops have gone into receivership. Does anyone know if they all closed right away. I especially would like to know about the one in Dundalk, as I have a voucher and if I thought it was still open, I'd go tomorrow - did anyone happen to pass it today and see it opened?

I would think that the real competition for book shops these days is online stores.

If I ever go to a book shop, I generally laugh at the price and then go home and order it online for about half the price.

I can shop around online for the best price, from the comfort of my couch.

I did buy a lot of books in Hughes and Hughes when they were closing down, but that's because I felt the prices were actually competitive then.

Any time I went in it was just for a wander and I used it as an opportunity to make note of some books to get on Amazon. :pac:
