Where to Find Rare Books.

Where to find your treasures ?


Ok, so we know what we are looking for, and we know how to establish if its really a first edition or not, the next step my dear reader is - where do we find these treasures.

So we have two possible routes - Offline and Online.

Offline:

This is a kind of a post way of saying, buy it in a shop. Now, this is my personal favourite. You get wander round a rare books bookshop. This, for most readers, is a magical experience. You get to pick up the books ( if the shopkeeper lets you, and they are not too rare). Smell that special book smell, wander the shelves, and just get lost for a while.

Lovely Book Shelves

The Image above comes from the Famous Book Shop - Shakespeare and Co. Now that delightful shop is in Paris - that may b a little further than you were prepared to go. So what about Ireland ?

Well, my friends, I found a little treasure in right here in Dublin. In the Heart of Dublin City, the old historic Duke Street ( Number 10 to be exact), you will find a veritable delight in rare books.
