    Hi,

    I recently discovered this website.

    http://www.omahonys.ie

    Irish bookseller. Free next day delivery. Great service. Literally, next day delivery.

    Not sure how prices compare to Amazon, but nice to support an Irish operation in these straitened times.

    Happy reading

    Kennys also have cheaper versions of the book (which o'mahony's do not), but wanted to show like for like.

    Kennys have free delivery also.

    Easons is also an Irish bookseller and is better value than most of the other Irish sites as it has a lot of books in "3 for 2" promotions etc and has free delivery if you spend over €10

    I've yet to find Easons cheaper than Bookdepository and I buy a lot of books.

    O'Mahony's is basically a former bible-seller that branched into the lucrative schools/colleges market some time ago. I used to put a lot of business their way through my work but stopped a few years ago because of the appalling service (due largely to the management, not the shop staff). Maybe they've got better.

    Easons delivery time is awful,I've often received books that I've ordered on Amazon that have come from the UK and Germany much faster then I've received my Easons order from Dublin!
