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.

They had new releases, the classics, used books, discounted books. They also have a book buy back program which is fantastic, because we stan substantially!

I'm convinced that it's impossible to be unhappy in a bookstore, especially if that bookstore is…read morethe adorable Vibes & Scribes! I have visited the local shop multiple times during my semester in Cork and each time I am delighted to get lost in expansive bookshelves! The shop has a great selection of both used and new books and makes buying lots of books easy with plenty of mix and match deals ensuring you get the most bang for your buck! Vibes & Scribes is one of those stores where you walk in not knowing exactly what you'll discover. I repeatedly find books that I've been meaning to read as well as books I've never heard of but want to dive into! I can't bring myself to walk past the shop without stopping in, especially on rainy days (which are common in Ireland) spent meandering downtown. The staff is also incredibly helpful and friendly. I remember on my first stop into the shop, the cashier asked my friend and I about how we were enjoying Cork and gave us some local recommendations for restaurants and live music. Next time you're looking for your next great read, you'll be able to find it at Vibes & Scribes!
