    I picked up Fergal Keane's War of Independence / Civil War book 'Wounds' in Dubray Books for €10, down from €16.99. I have not read it yet but it has received excellent reviews.

    This website is a great tool for accessing free books on Irish history (of all types) and genealogy sources. It seems to be a work in progress as new material keeps appearing.

    Get most of my books from charity shops. Conrad Black's book on Roosevelt and William Shawcross' Queen Elizabeth both for E1 each. Both hardbacks and both big books. Couldn't believe it.
