I love love LOVE the layout of this quaint little bookshop in Omni Park. So cute and old-fashioned…read more It's all on different levels and has wooden staircases leading to shelves upon shelves of great titles. They always have great little deals on the books at the front. I've recently heard a rumour that this place is closing down (in the Omni location) due to the growing popularity of the new bookshop with attached café on the new extension to the building. I really hope that's not true, this place is one of my favourite local bookshops.

We purchased several books we just couldn't leave without. If I were to make a suggestion, I would want to make certain the people in the checkout are personable. There were three people present today (staff) while we were there. I believe I was "helped" by the manager - she seemed to be training someone(?). Customer service was not her strong suit to say the least. Perhaps a bad day? Otherwise, a worthwhile stop. The end.

As first meetings go, this one has a great vibe; reading the book of the month isn't necessary and visitors are welcome to sit in and stir the pot. Owner Bob's smooth chat encourages conversation and as it's a democracy the group decides the next month's book. Space fills quickly so be sure to email the shop to let them know you're on your way. I'll be there -will I save you a seat?

In the spirit of its location, there's an area dedicated to Irish writers that is a must-browse. The store also carries the types of goodies that stationary lovers go feral over -- tote bags, cards, small & larger prints, etc. Serene ambiance, picturesque location, & staff that were eager to help. I wish I could've spent more time here, perhaps eating at the same-named restaurant upstairs, but alas, my time in Dublin was all too brief.

The prices are great, and I found a few books that are hard to find in your average bookstore. Moreover, their organization and categorization is perfect, it virtually brought me to tears. Lastly, the service is friendly and nice. If you're a book lover, just go! Enjoy!

They also have a copy centre for when you need to print flyers or so, but that is just as expensive- or rather cheap- as on campus (5 Cent a page). They also have a pretty big selection of notebooks, pens and pencils here. The only minor complaint is, that they seem to expect their customers to buy stationery in bulk- which makes sense, because students need lots of notebooks- but sometimes you just need a pen and that always seems to amuse the guy behind the counter.

Moving on swiftly, the ground floor is crammed with all the latest best sellers as well as any magazines you could possibly want. Even my own personal favorite "Air Rifle Monthly".
