The Bannow Bookſeller

  • The Second Astounding Science Fiction Anthology, edited by John W. Campbell, Jr, first edition, 1954
    It's a bucket list thing. I've always wanted to open a bookshop, and now I have. It's in a quiet corner of County Wexford, with an eclectic collection of books. We're open Wednesday – Saturday, 10am-1pm and 2pm-5pm.
    The shop is quite small, so I can only get about 300 books on the shelves at a time. Some are rare, some are just obscure, some are slightly strange and some are perfectly ordinary. However, there are a lot more in in storage, which are being catalogued.
    If you're interested in a particular book, or a particular subject, please get in touch and I'll see if I have something that might be of interest. To give you a flavour, there's a lot of crime fiction and science fiction, alongside a selection of biographies, history, humour and a smattering of science.
  • The Time of My Life, an autobiography by Gay Byrne, 1989
    We are currently cataloguing the books, and you can search the catalogue below. If you see something that interests you, please get in touch and I'll let you know if it's available. If you're after something by a specific author, the search tool will pull up everything we have written or edited by them. Do note that there may be typos and errata, because it's taken a lot of reading and typing to build this.
