Bookshops in Dublin 15 ?

Alaska1

Easons won't be getting a book I am after, and need this asap for a present, so online isn't an option.

Looking for a bookshop selling -

'I am the Secret Footballer: Lifting the Lid on the Beautiful Game'

Any other bookshops around ?

Not D15 I know but Waterstones on Dawson Street definitely have it. I was having a flick through it there last week

Waterstones on Dawson Street doesn't exist anymore; are you thinking of Hodges & Figgis, also on Dawson Street?

Dublin 15 is really, really poorly served for bookshops. If you can, try get into the aforementioned Hodges & Figgis on Dawson Street, Chapters on Parnell Street, or even Reads on Nassau Street; would the big Eason on O'Connell Street have it? I know you said Eason didn't have it, but is that the Blanchardstown branch rather than across the entire company?

Thanks for all the replies dudes, town it is !All of Eason's won't be stocking it for some reason, not available on their website and when I went into the shop asking why they wouldn't be stocking it they just said they don't carry the publisher (Gaurdian Books)Eason's is the only book shop in Dublin 15 alright, would really miss the big shop over in the retail park ! can't remember the name now !

Borders was the name. I was over the moon when that first opened. Was raging when they pulled out of Ireland :mad:. OP - maybe try phoning a few bookshops in Navan which is only 25 minutes drive on the motorway if you have a car.

Yes, D15 is poorly served. Sadly, I think bookstores in general will go the way of music stores now that ebooks/kindles are mainstream. You can't beat the unrushed browsing relaxed atmosphere in a good bricks and mortar bookstore. Somehow Easons is always too hectic to have that atmosphere.

Borders! It's after taking me ages to remember that. Such a shame at the lack of bookshops alright, the Easons in Blanchardstown is useless.

There's still the school book shop there next to the VdeP shop, its small almost like a kiosk out front, but they sorted us for a particular school book we were struggling to get elsewhere just two weeks ago

Ah that's good to hear, we used to get our books there when we were in school It looked closed up the last few times I passed it by.
