We Buy Books

We are always interested in buying quality books that are in good condition, particularly books on Irish history and culture, archaeology, philosophy, art, and literature, among others. We also give store credit for books.


If you’d like to bring in books, please ring the shop first at +353 91 561 766, since there are times when we are completely overstocked. If you have such a large number of books to sell that you cannot bring them to the shop, please ring the shop and ask for Vinny or Charlie, who will make arrangements for viewing them.

You may also bring books to our warehouse in Oranmore on Saturdays between 10am and 5pm. Again, please ring the shop before bringing books to either the shop or the warehouse. For directions to the warehouse, please click here.

Books we do not buy include:
school books, computer manuals, law and medical textbooks, out-of-date travel guides, and older popular fiction.
