Absolutely fantastic service! I ordered a few graphic novels online (for a Christmas gift for a…read moresibling). Staff at Antonia's rang me to tell me that one of the novels was currently out of print. They set out all my options and I chose to wait until the novel was back in print. So I received the rest of my order in time for Christmas and I knew that I would get the other novel when it came back into print. At the end of June, I got a package with the remaining novel! I was delighted. The staff were wonderful. I highly recommend Antonia's for their selection of books and an attentive service

Happily they had every register open and I was in and out quickly with my purchases . 5 stars. My go to bookstore every time I am in Dublin.

I visited this bookstore after learning about its size and history. I'm a big book nerd so it was a…read moremust-see while in Dublin. This is three stories of books and it is worth taking a slow walk through! The books are new-book prices so they are a bit expensive but just seeing the huge selection of books and the huge store is enough. I ended up getting one book as a gift for a friend and a Hodges Figgis tote bag for myself. The people working here are friendly and knowledgeable. There is always someone around if you have any questions.

Quality bookstore in a cute street in Malahide. I was rather impressed with the selection of books…read more- the ones at eye level were interesting and quirky and not like the usual book shop fare. Fair play to Village Books for trying to diversify Irish readers' tastes. There is a fairly large selection of cards in store, of varying qualities, but definitely something here to suit all tastes. The children's and teenagers' book sections are quite extensive and there is also a considerable selection of fantasy books. Village books has quite an array of children's toys as well, so I imagine this would provide an excellent means of distraction for kids who are dragged here by their desperate-for-a-good-read mothers. Village Books has a pleasant, unassuming atmosphere and browsing is not frowned upon.

I stumbled upon this fantastic store a few weeks ago while browsing around Malahide village. It's…read morean ideal place to pick up a certain book you've had your eye on, a card you forgot to send or any little knick-knack for a child! Basically, it's great for last minute gift ideas! Pleasant and friendly people working there, and reasonably priced items.

The owner - a publisher himself - has a lifetime's experience of stocking the best of Irish fiction, history and general Irish interest books, journals, magazines and pamplets. A "must see" shop for all Irish historians, geneaolgists and literati. The place is crammed with shelving and is not for the claustrophobic! Well worth a visit.

Just don't go in- you'll never leave!!…read more This quietly unassuming second-hand bookshop halfway up North Street will steal your time, but in a great way. From the outside it doesn't look that big, but step inside and you find yourself in a tardis, with books piled from floor to ceiling, winding backwards and sideways and crammed into every possible place. While it can initially be a little intimidating by the sheer volume, everything is organised into genres and between fiction and non-fiction so finding things is easier than you initially think. The fact that the books are second hand means you might find little gems that you wouldn't see piled neatly in the chain stores because publishers tell them too, and you might stumble across a book or author you'd never even considered. If you can't find what you are looking for, don't be afraid to ask, these guys are super friendly, and at the prices they charge who would bother with a kindle! I'll be back, when I've a couple of hours to spare. :-)

This place is AMAZING!!! Books behind books, on top of books. Could easily spend days here. And the…read moreprices are amazing. Tons of Irish authors, classics, sci-fi, and everything in between.
