Hand-picked sections for Cork readers — ask us if you cannot find a title; we order most books within a few days.

Fiction

Stories that stop you in the aisle

Contemporary literary fiction, crime, historical novels, and the new releases we cannot keep on the table. Our booksellers read widely and love matching a book to the person in front of them.

Voices from Cork and beyond

Irish fiction and poetry, Munster history, walking and food writing, and titles from independent Irish presses. We keep a strong Cork shelf — harbour stories, city memoirs, and books that smell of rain on Patrick Street.

Non-fiction

Essays, ideas, and practical shelves

Biography, nature writing, politics, cookery, and thoughtful essays. We stock books you will finish and books you will return to — plus a modest selection of maps and guides for day trips from Cork.
