Secret Book and Record Store, Dublin

Accessed down a longish corridor , this is one of the longest established used book and record shops in town. Good for SF (new , bargain and secondhand) , a good selection of history, fiction and Irish interest. One of those used bookshops with boxes everywhere, usually a good sign

There is many an Easter egg just within reach. More than you can spot but not overwhelming. Just the rewarding shuffle around and friendly staff that helps keeps me coming back.

Unique bohemian space that I love. So we'll hidden, it is a delight to enter the expansive shop, after negotiating the narrower and quite long 'secret' passageway. You can get lost in a timewarp here. There are huge selections of books available at very reasonable prices. A record shop inhabits the end of the space. Highly recommend. Never change.

What a discovery! Trying to buy local during all this rigmarole and stumble across The Secret Book and Record Store. Their selection is great, and the prices are even better - got all these for just €20! The delivery was quick (2 days) and free. It also included a lovely hand written note thanking me for giving them the business. They will be my first port of call for books from now on in.

I've been ordering books from here for a while now and this bookstore is a real gem. If the wide variety of books and fantastic offers they have wasn't enough, Fiachra adds a handwritten note to the bill that makes me smile every single time. Is like getting a message in a bottle! I thought their online prices were for 2nd hand books because they have such great prices. They're not. So this is also a great place for birthdays and Christmas presents if you want to gift a non-used book. Run by kind and fun people. Best bookstore in Ireland.
