The Gutter Bookshop, Dublin

We are ready.
See you at 8am.
In both shops.
At the same time.

Lovely !
Marta is in Poland currently debating buying some books in Polish for herself, so them photos are from last week.
No panic, we have the newer books in stock.

One of our local writers wrote a book, he was nice enough to pop in and sign our copies, so we made a whole window!

Pop in and grab some, signed books available while stocks last.

Yes, it is 's latest book !

It's International Dog Day today! We do love our doggos and, as you know, any well-behaved creatures are always welcome to both shops. With or without owners.

New Book Club Alert! We are starting a HORROR book club this September in - fancy joining up?
Drop us a line at [email protected] to sign up and for more info. Yes, there are places available.

We'll be discussing 'Rouge' by Mona Awad and you will not regret it.

We are delighted to be launching by Anthony Canavan tonight at 6.30-8pm.
Gripping stories, high in atmosphere and tension, of what passed for “ordinary” life in the besieged world of North Belfast during the Troubles of 1968 to 1998: house raids, searches, checkpoints, State blackmail, arrests, murders, informers, “say nothing” – a world of survival by camaraderie, courage, and caution in the face of absolute power.

Free and all are welcome.

Some of us are too busy reading to look at the stars...

(Do not mention to Marta, especially the magnificent display back in May).

A lovely chap called Donal Ryan popped in today to do a bit of work in the area, sure who are we to stop him...



Oh yes, he's got a new book out, did you know? is magical.
Signed copies available while stocks last!

Swipe for an illustrative expression of pure Donal love from Sarah U.

Lovely catch-up with the one and only Grande ex-boss Extraordinaire !
We talked dogs, books, writing/weeding time and turning 15 this year.
Keep your eyes peeled.

How you doin' lovely folks? Ah sure, we're grand here, thank you for asking.
Got some new bukes if ye fancy popping in, but sure no pressure.

Have you been to recently?
If so, you might have met Ciara, who has an incredible enthusiasm for all things , and keeps busy recording announcements for Japan Rail or scribbling away when noone is looking. Not necessarily all in the shop.

May & Marta are in this Saturday, which can only mean two things: good tunes (May) and great horror recommendations (also May).

Marta just grumpily stands in the corner glaring at people, like everyday.

In between books? Not busy this weekend? Restless with the heat?
Pop in. We got you.

Thank you & for popping in to our shop in yesterday, we do love !

Current Gutter , the favouritest section of all visitors. Customers, I mean.

One is missing description, I obviously noticed that before taking a pic. For sure.

Would you look at that!
A lovely Japanese tourist popped in today and showed us a beautiful guidebook by (thank you for including us 💚).

And because our Gutter Team is multitalented (here's looking at you !) - this is what it says:

“A bookshop with a particular focus that sets it apart from the big chain stores. They offer Irish history books, beautifully bound books on Celtic mythology, and their own original notebooks that make for great souvenirs.
They also carry a large number of good books from independent publishers with small circulation and organize author events. This shop is a great place to find books and literature, a place that makes you think, ‘Dublin is not yet abandoned!’”

is slightly failing us this but don't you fret - we have plenty of to keep your mind off the rainy misery.

Varieties of above selection available in , and online.

What a brilliant it was! Filled with fantastic books, authors, and food. We didn't miss any football either.

Thank you to for hospitality and to , , and for delicious food. We were happily stuffed.
