A good stock of out of print and unusual books, specialising in Irish interest, English and American literature, travel, children's, biographies etc. Also a stall of classic and modern paperbacks for the backpacker, paper memorabilia and postcards for ephemera collectors.
An admirable idea. Places like Doolin need shops like this- but please reduce the stock by half so a visitor can actually see what is on offer. I was frustrated because I suspect that I missed books I would have purchased if I could have seen/reached them. Loyola 13.04.17
Tired stock and ambitiously priced. loyola 28.10.24

A lovely, well presented shop in a charming market town . Strong on Irish subject areas, particularly fiction. Very fairly priced save for some of the "collectables" which are a bit Cecil Court . I always find a couple of gems. Loyola 13.04.17
The shop has now moved to the main street. Good books at reasonable prices. loyola 28.10.24

We have an eclectic stock of second-hand, antiquarian and some new and remaindered books, both English and Irish language.
A pleasant secondhand bookshop but nothing for the collector. Loyola 14.02.15
New and secondhand books in a small but pleasant shop. Wide selection of Irish titles particularly biographies. Prices on the high side. Chris Harte 09.11.15
The second hand stock is largely fiction. But do combine it with a visit to the Salmon Book shop. They are less than one hundred yards apart loyola 28.10.24
