About

'Beautiful books, unique gifts', that's what we do—and with 40,000 books in stock every customer is sure to find something of interest in our award-winning shop.

Established in 2003, Bookends is one of Ireland's largest stockists of Irish authors and local history and we attract visitors from all over the world. We've featured in two BBC documentaries in addition to supplying 'Auntie' with items for their dramas—and it's not just the Beeb. Our books have also had recurring roles on the set of the hit HBO show Game of Thrones.

No matter what you're into, whether it's Irish interest, modern crime, fantasy, collectibles or the latest release, Bookends is a relaxing place to spend a few hours—or why not make it a whole day.
