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.

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

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.

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!

For starters, right at the center of the store, there is a super well-curated Read for Palestine table. And I'm here for any business showing solidarity. Next, the bookseller made some stellar recommendations when I asked for contemporary Irish literature recs. Currently reading The Amendments by Niamh Mulvey, and it'll be, without a doubt, one of my favorite reads of the year. Several more recs made it onto my TBR. Seriously, come here for a great selection of books, knowledgable staff, and to support a small business doing the right thing in these dark times

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.

On checkout, I was asked if i needed the VAT receipt (I did), and this was the first touristy shop that had mentioned it to me!

In the entryway there is a collection of books priced at 3 for 1 euro... I recommend skipping this section (because unless you want to read trash books on dieting or 1997 wine guides for South Africa then there's not much of value here). Upstairs is where they real goodies are. They have a section entitled 'interesting older books' - worth a look! They also have a fairly large biographies section and, much to my surprise, a large collection of foreign books. Very impressive! Most books will go for around a fiver but the really good ones will cost you a little more. A lengthy browse is definitely recommended!
