    I have assembled a hit list of books to buy and read, can anyone recommend some good quality second hand bookstores in Dublin?

    I am searching for contemporary novels; such as Tom Wolfe, Bret Easton Ellis are but some.

    I am familiar with Greenes (near near Merrion Sq.), and Blackrock 2nd Bookshop - any others?

    Suggestions and locations are extremely welcome.

    There's also an Oxfam books in Rathmines. And also the Rathmines Bookstore could be good.

    There's also Blackrock Market at the weekends - they often have book stands there. I'd also recommend the Readers Bookshop in Dun Laoghaire as mentioned above - it's great. I used it a lot last year when I was working in the town.

    Readers is probably the best bookshop i've come across in ages, in Dún Laoghaire
