The (truly) Independent Bookshop.
The basement of 17 South William Street, Dublin.
Thomas Morris writes:
A group of Independent Dublin publishers have opened a pop-up bookshop on South William Street, from now until Christmas.
The publishers include Columba Press, Irish Academic Press, Liberties Press, The Lilliput Press, Little Island, New Island, The Salvage Press, The Stinging Fly, Swan River Press, and many other magazines and journals.
Staff from the publishers are manning the shop, and all the books are ones that were published by the above. (I work for Stinging Fly). It’s a rare thing to have so many publishers coming together like this. And it’s a truly independent venture.
We’ll be having an official opening party TODAY (Thursday) from 6:30pm, and there’ll be mulled wine, chocolate treats, and many a special offer. Everyone is welcome.
The Independent Bookshop :11am to 7pm (8pm on Thursdays) until December 23
It’s actually 27 South William Street!
What’s with the reference to ‘truly’ independent? Are some of the independent bookshops in Dublin not really independent?
Or is it a reference to ‘independent’ publishers that aren’t really independent?
I have a near complete collection of all of his works.
Is it a ‘pop-up book’ shop or a ‘pop-up’ bookshop.
Which of the participating publishers isn’t independent? In any case, thanks for the support, Eliot. Hope to see you at the opening tonight. All welcome!
Fair play like
I’ll be in the week after next.
G’luck to all wi’it
I’ll try pop in when I’m back! Nice to see.
Dropped in at 8 – no booze left – nice books – couldn’t stay at a dry launch – fair play though – will be back.
