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.

Still, it has something and has been an ever present feature of Omnipark, more or less, since its opening. 'Though having a small stock of books, it does have good bargains and cheap editions - at the moment, buy one get one free - some of which I've availed of over the years. This branch deserves credit for remaining here and is a testament to the little fish still prevailing.

Specialising in airport-edition paperbacks and pallets of magazines, Hughes & Hughes does swift business in printed entertainment. I could bemoan the rather large but pedestrian selection, but if I didn't have the presence of mind to bring Tolstoy from home, well then I'll simply have to choose from what's there... celeb bios, crime thrillers, business & financial guides and almost all of Oprah's book club picks. Really, that's not too bad a cast of characters, and the well-stocked travel section in the large Pier A store does justice to it's home turf as the only Book Shop game in town before take off. You'll also be able to pick up a bottle of water for the plane as well as a pack of gum for charming customs officials in immigration and arrivals once you land. And should that pulp novel or copy of Car become too cumbersome once you plan on disembarking, the prices in Hughes & Hughes are kind enough that you can donate them to the seat-back pocket for the next passenger.

Hughes and Hughes in Dublin airport affords the modern commuter a welcomed opportunity to purchase…read morereading material and a wide range of snacks before boarding a potentially lengthy flight. Hughes and Hughes look to douse any possibility of the passengers suffering from any sense of tediousness on their impending flight. This is too what I would call an 'earnest' outlet. What I mean by this is that the books they sell are not necessarily straight from either the best sellers list nor are they the customary feminist tripe from the likes of Cecilia Ahern et al looking to adhere to the conventional housewife, but instead an interesting and eclectic range of literature. Everything from Business and Management, Archaeology, Encyclopedias and yes, granted General Fiction but Booker Prize Winners like A. Adiga's 'White Tiger' and not boring claptrap like Danielle Steele. It is this miscellaneous range on offer that really enlivened my senses as a punter and made my plane journey as a passenger much more enjoyable thanks to the attention-grabbing literature I had managed to pick up. The duration of the flight just ran away with itself as a result of being so captivated by the literature I had bought. Purchasing literature becomes an even more pleasurable experience within this outlet if you purchase from the '3 for 2' table and get one on the house! Predictably and to be fair, appropriately so, the shop, like I say in no way 'true to form' in a judgmental way but instead aptly sells a broad selection of travel books to assist the passenger(s) in expanding their knowledge about their imminent destinations. I myself have picked up a Lonely Planet here when on my way to Amsterdam and was very appreciative of the supplementary information and helpful advice it gave me, all to the overall benefit of my trip. With an ample range of confectionary, savoury snacks, soft drinks and magazines by the cashier's till Hughes and Hughes really do proffer almost everything you could possibly need for your journey to keep your brain stimulated and occupied and your cravings satisfied.

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.
