    Yes, they moved a few years ago to D'Olier street.

    Lovely bookstore, great variety of books and you can find some titles that may not be readily available in the bigger book stores.

    Thanks for posting that .I knew it didn't look right on the map having it in D'olier Street . Didn't it used to be in Fleet street .I recall going up by Trinity ,I think?, * going around right and it was across the road.? Ona corner with another street?

    I used to continue to the Alchemist's Head. I still have a book from the AH

    *I'll have to look at the map again
