One final thank you for your support and custom over the past 39 years. It has been great to see so many of you over the past number of months. The whole team is humbled by the response to our closure, and so proud of the legacy that we leave behind.

If you like to DM, your daughter is welcome to come into us and pick a few books that she can take home in a Chapters tote bag - hopefully it will be in addition to getting her bag, purse and tokens back 😊

13 year old Yeva Skalietska has been in Ireland 11 months, the story of her experience of the war in Ukraine, told in diary form, in a new language, that she has learnt through school & television, is extraordinary.
We have copies in store signed in both English and Ukrainian.

We are quite sad to hear Book Depository are closing. We know that the original founders sold their company & it is now owned by the Amazon Monster, but it takes courage & vision to start & build a company & for that they deserve commendation. 1/2

Fully agreed! We can't afford to sell things at or below cost like some larger retailers or online stores. Think about just where your money may be going before you leap into the too-good-to-be-true offers! And remember the world would be a boring place without indie bookshops :)
Ok, as
#BlackFriday
frenzy starts, please remember that local independent shops can't afford to half-price their stock right before Christmas. Try to keep a bit of money back to support local too - they pay taxes, employ staff & they make our towns nicer places to be!

More importantly, they employed some very knowledgeable booksellers & they serviced a market of readers.
We hope the booksellers & support staff all find solid & financially viable employment soon.

You see, bookshops are dreams built of wood and paper. They are time travel and escape and knowledge and power. They are, simply put, the best of places.
