20 Bookstores In Ireland 🇮🇪

"One of the best bookstores in Dublin. It has over 20K books with a huge collection of second hand books. It also has a trade-in option where you can return your books. Apart from books it has a home decor section on the first floor. You can buy pots, plants, energy stones, soaps, chocolates, Christmas decorations, and much more. It also has a cafe where you can sit and have a bite, though the prices are high. A beautiful decoration place. 🎉😄"

"Favourite place in Galway, it's always a pleasure. Great to find hidden gems, you might not always find a specific book you're searching for but the staff will helpfully order them if needed. Or you'll get tempted by something else that will catch your eyes. More often than not both things will happen."

"Decent selection of books, interesting staff choice section. Staff friendly and super helpful, happy to give recommendations.Also good range of toys, candles, cards & chocolate - good for presents."

"One of the best independent bookshops in the country. Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff, and a great selection in both new and secondhand shops (which are beside each other)"

"Cutest bookshop and cafe right in the city center, tons of selection with multiple floors and rooms full of books. They even have a secondhand shop to the side of the store. I got a graphic novel and it was marked down due to it having a bit of damage. They have a ton of vintage classic editions, SO CUTE!!! I love the blind date with a book they have as well! Nice cafe upstairs to read or have a chat with beautiful windows and atmosphere."

"Hey, if anyone is thinking of purchasing books definitely check out The Secret Bookstore. I bought off them online but they also have a physical shop on Wicklow Street Dublin. It's so important to support great Irish businesses. Thank you 😊"

"Mind in The Gutter? Good!Great little bookshop in the heart of old Dublin's Temple Bar street. It's more modern than a lot of the existing book shops boasting newer Irish authors and hot releases. My daughter ooohed and aaaahed over the new releases. There's a gift section and staff picks table. Something for everyone at The Gutter. 👍"

"Where to start? The books offer something for everyone (someused and therefore cheaper as well). The first editions and historical works are a dream for any book-lover with a passion for a certain subject, the team as friendly, helpful, kind, and knowledgeable. Parking is available, and the shipping to Germany is an amazing bonus.Love it. Best bookshop ever. Thank you so much"

"One of my favourite bookshops in Dublin. It has a unique collection of feminist works and other books. There's a kids section as well at the back of the shop. It's impossible to miss the shop and right in front of Ha'penny Bridge on the Bachelor's Walk side of the river."

"Been here twice while visiting Dublin and it's such a treat to scavenge for books here. Like a kid in a candy store. Their collection of classics can definitely be improved, or maybe that's just my bias against the Wordsworth classic covers talking."

"Rare books and old maps. Very interesting. Good service"

"Happy Women's Day The Company of Book!I am extremely for being a first time customer of yours!! Your website is very user friendly and your delivery service is so quick that I couldn't believe it. Perfect timing for start reading on the International Day for Gender Equality (Women's Day).Packaging was very nice and environmental friendly.I will definitely keep buying from you."

"Great bookshop with political stuff. You can also buy some t-shirts, flags, badges, stickers, etc."

"Had the Blasket Island Authors…just what we were looking for! Could have stayed all day"

"Lovely store and staff. They also have a nice selection of children's books in Irish 👍👍"

"My favourite book shop! Don't let the size of this little shop deceive you - I've never walked out with less than 6 books. On my last visit a few weeks ago, they had a copy of Fourth Wing in paperback - you won't even find a copy of Fourth Wing in the biggest bookshops it's sold out everywhere. I danced out the door with it under my arm!A fantastic selection and the staff are absolutely lovely - they always remember you when you go in. My favourite part is the recommendations shelf, where the staff put books they'd recommend for you to browse. An absolute gem in Carrick on Shannon."

"Wonderful interesting bookshop situated in the George's St Arcade. The owner is very welcoming, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. You will find interesting old books, collections of diverse subject matters, all at bargain prices. Beloved browsing shop of the discerning Dubliner and tourist in search of a good read, it's got a faithful following if satisfied customers."

"Fell in love with the girl who sold me my book. She was bright, intelligent, knowledgeable and also very beautiful! A Bourke too apparently. Got Vonnegut’s ‘A Man Without A Country’. My dad got a book on Burke & Hare. Regretted not mustering the courage to leave my number 😃"

"I had such a lovely time exploring this bookshop - John offered some fantastic recommendations, and was a treasure trove of local knowledge. Whether you're interested in the best place to buy a hand-made jumper, how to spot badgers, or getting a suggestion on what to read next, this is the spot."
