    Sitting at the airport now.. I thought I would be able to pick up a few books to bring away as gifts.
    Something on Beckett, that new book on Joyce and svevo, some Yeats poetry or Kavanagh

    Instead, an effing desert. One title on 1916 and another about De Velera.

    Seems a bit of a lost opportunity!,

    probably more to do with the fact that a book shop has limited stock/choice of decent books.
    I've never tried buying something specific at the airport, however, when I needed a bit of reading material I was able to get something I'd enjoy reading. Maybe their target audience are the bored passengers rather than for gifts...

    You generally won't find many literary books at the airport although I have seen small literature sections at some UK airports. They tend to be popular blockbusters which are a last minute impulse buy for reading on the flight or laying by the pool and that would be their target market.
