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

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.

Found a rare book here that was not available anywhere else in the world (at least that I could…read morefind). Shipped it to the United States, after a personal email from John, telling me he'd done so and letting me know when I could expect it. Rarer than the book, that. I said to myself, "You should write a review of that place" and about three and a half years later, I have done just that. Haven't even read the book yet. This life, eh? Anyway, thank you, John.

Right behind the castle, and beside Sean's Pub, I lucked into this charming bookshop with its…read morelovely and erudite owner. The bookshop itself is a book lovers haven with a great mix of books ranging from present day best sellers to beautiful antiquity books. The bookshop also has various ephemera - I spotted cool postcards, an original painting by Dali and tons of autographed letters, books and what really rocked my world was when John showed me a book that belonged in Florence Nightingale's library AND had her handwritten annotations! It's honestly just a beautiful jewel of a treasure shop and looks can be deceiving as the modern exterior hides a lovely collection of rare books, signed firsts as well as books from the time of Shakespeare. Everything was very appropriately priced and I picked up two books that were published in the 1960s (dealing with 'Modern Women' for a very reasonable price). I would absolutely recommend checking this store out! Note: #246 of Yelp 100 challenge for 2016

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.

Not too weak, but no bitterness or sharp aftertaste. My favourite kind of coffee. The orange cake topped with chocolate was yummy too.

Coffee and books are two of my favourite things so I was delighted when I discovered this place. The tables are dotted in amongst the bookshelves, which may sound lovely but when you're having an intimate chat with your little sister and other customers are nosing around, it tends to stilt the conversation. It was here that I first came across the Fifty Shades of Grey book. Oops, that came out wrong. Quick book review: It was so bad that I skipped ahead to the sex scenes and they even turned me off so I didn't finish. I think I'd better stop writing now coz your mind's in the gutter.
