This is one of the oldest bookstores in Dublin. The main entrance has beautiful large windows with…read morebook displays. The Grafton Street entrance is a little less ornate. The store has several floors with a large selection of books. It has lots of Irish literature and Irish authors as well as fiction, travel, cooking, children's box and lots of others. Prices are comfortable to other bookstores. The staff were very helpful in finding books and recommending books. I would highly recommend a visit if you are 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.

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

The Winding Stair Restaurant is a huge 0/5 for me though. They criticized me for trying to just get a drink after a long day of walking.

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.

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.

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.

I really hope that's not true, this place is one of my favourite local bookshops.

This branch deserves credit for remaining here and is a testament to the little fish still prevailing.
