We regret that we have had to close the book shop in Cong for the duration of the Covid-19 outbreak.
We are also unable to fulfill orders online and have disabled the checkout on this website.
Please stay safe. We look forward to welcoming you back to the shop after this emergency is over.

We specialise in books related to Ireland, particularly the West of Ireland and also carry a large selection of fishing books from the last two hundred years.
Our shop is open six days a week and a small selection of our books may be purchased on our website.
