If you love books, you'll love this place! It is what a second-hand bookshop should be. Packed to the rafters, it offers everything, there are first editions, a mix of modern and very old books and lots of lovely children's books. The staff are very friendly and I could have spent the day there.

This is an old-fashioned bookshop, with arm-chairs & a turf-burning stove at the back, for comfortable browsing. They have a huge range of new,second-hand & antiquarian books. Irish & local history is a strong point & their Irish-language stock is second to none. Book launches & readings are popular occasions, especially during the annual Ennis Book-Club Festival !

I happened upon this little gem of a bookshop on a rainy afternoon, and it really made my day. I couldn't believe the range of books in stock, covering every imaginable genre. I had a lovely time browsing and chatting with the owner. There's even a little nook with a comfy armchair in front of the fire at the back... More
