I stopped by this little shop after seeing the sign for the secondhand bookshop from the street…read more The ground floor is a general purpose store with office supplies and such and the first floor is the used bookshop. They have a decent selection of used books, mostly paperbacks and mass-market paperbacks. I'm a very picky reader so I didn't find anything for myself but I did enjoy just wandering through the store. The staff seemed friendly but I didn't get a chance to chat with them since I just popped in briefly.

I have a nose for books. And I'm a bit of a book whore. Plus I'm broke. The good part about all…read morethat is that I can smell out a good used book shop at 100 paces, saving myself zillions in new-book costs. So when I found myself in Killarney with nothing to read and only a few quid in my pocket, I followed my nose to the Dungeon in the same way a starving man follows his to a steakhouse. Or broke country finds the IMF. The bonus of a place like the Dungeon is that the books are JUST organized enough to make a degree of sense, and yet there are far more books than shelves, so there are boxes and stacks and piles along the floor and against the walls. So a book whore can spend hours happily digging around the "Sci Fi" or "Fantasy" sections discovering new talents that are recent best sellers or old friends that he's been meaning to hang out with again, and prices are low enough that one doesn't have to feel guilty picking up a few of each. The staff was wonderful, very tolerant of me hanging around for awhile, and I found some excellent deals. Bottom Line: Don't bother me, I'm reading.

A couple of years ago we were staying at the lighthouse SW of Clonakilty for the week. While we…read morewould do daily excursions, a great deal of time was spent enjoying the tranquility of the area. This was perfect for my Mom and I, but was less than favorable to my 17 year old son. I needed a diversion for him so while we were in town (Clonakilty) I checked into Kerr's for a recommendation. I believe they selected the perfect book, the first book in Michael Scott's The Magician series. At that point he had only written the first one but I liked the idea that it was the first in a trilogy (went on to be 5 books in the series) and that Michael Scott is a native of Ireland, tying it all together nicely. Thank you Kerr's. It is little bookstores like yours that make the act of buying, not just reading books, a pleasure.
