I love this bookshop. They have a fabulous range in every area, the bargain basement downstairs has a large variety of classics and poetry, but also children's books, fiction and the occasional says who!

This particular Eason store is like shopping centre all by itself. The books take up the downstairs and ground floor area, upstairs is stationery, gifts, candles, technology, and upstairs again is a says who!

This isn't my favourite bookshop in Dublin, and the only criticism I have of it is its layout. From passing by once or twice, I thought it was a small one-storey bookstore and it looked a little says who!

Chapters is great for picking up cheap books, as they have discounted books downstairs as well as their secondhand section upstairs. One of the best bookshops for graphic novels and for the fantasy says who!

The Secret Bookstore is a really nice little place. It's never overcrowded since, as per the name, it's one of the city's better kept secrets. You really have to be keeping an eye out for it or says who!

This is one of my favourite secondhand bookshops in the city. Second hand bookshops are always a bit iffy if you're looking for a specific book, you might get lucky and you might not. But if you're says who!

One of the great things about this book market is the banter. The books are reasonably priced since they're second hand but the reason I go to the market instead of a second hand store is the banter. says who!

Books Upstairs isn't quite on a par with all the chain bookstores around the city in terms of stock. While this store has a lot of character, which is obvious even from the sign outside. Once you go says who!

This is a good store for stationery and office things- one particular evening it was the only place I could find a few decent clipboards- but its book selection isn't great. It's rare for me to go to says who!
