Summer time

Posted on

Well it’s the middle of summer and we’re in the throes of school book season again.

At this time of year we buy in hundreds of secondhand school books so that our customers can buy their books for the new school term at a reduced cost. You can save huge amounts on your book costs by trading in your used books (in good condition only ) and buying other used books.   You can buy all new ones if you want as we stock all the new books too. We are very competitive with our prices .

We also stock all the stationery you will need for school such as calculators, plastic folders in plain and bright patterns, hardback notebooks, manuscripts and copies, pens and pencils , pencil cases and school bags.buterfly case Unlocking-SESE-2nd-Class_0 pink school bag spiderman school bag

Spring is here

Posted on

The sun is out and everyone is feeling happier.

Best sellers this spring are the Minecraft books for children, that game certainly is popular.

Revision books for the Junior and Leaving Certificate students are still flying out, exams are only 5 weeks away! So get studying…… we have a huge selection of books to cover every subject.

Now is also the time to start on all those outside chores that have been put off during the last few months. The grass needs mowing regularly again, you can start planting vegetables and  tidying up the flower beds. Clean up that barbecue , you might just get to use it soon and with any luck , use it more than once this year! We have lots of gardening books in stock and ideas for outdoor cooking.

Roll on summer!easter lamb

Getting Ready for Christmas

Posted on

Now is the time to start thinking about all those people who look forward to getting  a book for Christmas. I know I always love to give children a selection of books so they can have some quiet time when the mad rush of excitement over the new toys has become a bit too much. Give their eyes a rest from the xbox or playstation and encourage them into a world of wonder,  of adventure,  of magic or just pure fun. The old favourites of Roald Dahl ,  J.K.Rowling and Enid Blyton never go out of fashion.There’s a new Wimpy Kid book  out for this Christmas too.  And how about a few jokes on Christmas morning, can you really refuse to laugh when you get woken up at 6am with a    ‘ knock knock who’s there ‘……

For the adults there are so many great autobiographies and non fiction books which are published to coincide with this time of year –   Gay Byrne,  Tony Ryan ( of Ryanair )  Alex Ferguson,  D.J.Carey,  John Bishop to name but a few.

So visit your local book shop where there will be lots of choice and someone there to help you pick the right book.
