    Hi, there is a great one behind the Happy Pear in Greystones - can't remember the name - Ann who owns the shop will buy back the books sold in her shop at 50% of price.:)

    In Cork I found the Irish Cancer Society shop to be full of gems on a regular basis. It's good for Penguin and Oxford classics, half of my collection comes from that shop. Their pricing varies a good bit.

    Chapters is a great shop! Its secondhood floor is bloody fantastic, an anoraks wet dream!

    Anyone know of any shop in Dublin that has a good range of history books, apart from Hodges and Chapters? Thanks.

    Anyone know of anywhere I can sell secondhand college books online in Ireland?

    I've tried Amazon but they only allow sales within the UK.

    Check ebay. I've gotten a lot of reasonably priced books second hand there. There are a surprisingly large amount of books for sale there, especially the more obscure ones.

    Cheers, but I had them up there already without much success.

    Does second hand college books, by students for students. Only 400 books or so up tho :(

    If it ever really takes off then it could be great.

    I joined bookmooch today. Seems a great book swapping service, pity there aren't more Irish people on it though. All you pay is the postage costs, you earn points and 'buy' books from other users who post them to you. Whoever came up with it is a genius!

    There's a place by the side of the courthouse next door to the Courthouse pub (can't think of the name of it for the life of me).

    There's also that place on down from O'Sullivan's Quay called the Book Shelf.

    Just realised how my last message makes me sound like a Southern American hill-billy.

    For the record, I am not a hill-billy. A culchie perhaps but not a hill-billy.

    I'm doing my exams...my brain's fried...leave me alone!

    charity shops rock and sometimes you can get some great deals for a lot less than even second hand book shops.

    plus amazon and the bookdepository.

    Cork: Vibes and Scribes on Bridge St (just up the hill from Patrick's Bridge). Always worth popping into for a quick look. Sometimes you can find very interesting stuff in there. They've two new shops on Lavitt's Quay (I think that's the name of it, it's just down along the quay from the Opera house anyway at the "back" of Paul St). They're mostly for new stuff or art stuff though. Second hand stuff is downstairs in the Bridge St. shop.


    Love that place, great quality of books and always helpful staff, cannot reccommend enough, easy to find what you want.

    Fully agree. Nearly every book is 1.99 pounds and shipping's free.
    2nd hand books galore.

    Really like this site. :D

    any second-hand book shops in limerick?


  • Registered Users Posts: 47 for-why?


    anywhere in dublin good for second-hand college books? that, or places with good philosophy or politics sections? there is the college bookshop itself, but it tends to be more miss than hit, especially for politics.


  • Registered Users Posts: 119 ✭✭wantacookie


    every saturday there are stalls in the square in temple bar! the traders are really nice and you can pick up all sorts of books for really cheap!

    Book worms should beware! :)

    There's a few second-hand bookshops in Limerick.

    There one in High Street called High Street Bookshop but he can vary his opening hours.

    One in Little Catherine Street above the Knock Shrine shop, called Little Catherine Street Bookshop but he is shut a lot of the time.

    Phil's Bookshop is on Anne's Street, near the Thomas Street Car-Park.

    Yes, there is one on The Mall. Don't know it's name, sorry.

    There are also a few charity shops which have books, too.

    There's a great St. Vincent de Paul charity shop near the old tesco in Killarney, their book section is pretty good and unbelievably cheap...like if you get a good lot they normally only charge you 50c-€1 per book. Plus they're super nice in there :)

    If you ever come to Brussels, there are several second hand bookstores in the Rue du Midi area.
