There's never been a better time to support local independent bookshops like Books Upstairs – and with the launch of their new website, it's never been easier!

Books Upstairs is Dublin's oldest independent bookshop – trading in the heart of the city centre since 1978. In 2015, they expanded into a bigger space, when the shop moved to its current home in a beautifully preserved Georgian building at 17 D'Olier Street.

As well as a fantastic range of new and secondhand books, Books Upstairs also offer unique Book Bundles – the perfect gift for both adults and children. To create your Book Bundle, you simply choose from a series of themes – including fiction favourites; politics & philosophy; poetry; memoir & biography; and more. You're then invited to write a little bit about what you or the person you're buying the gift for likes to read – which allows Books Upstairs to curate the perfect bundle, with a selection of three books. If you're sending the Book Bundle to a friend via the Books Upstairs website, they can also include a note from you, and post out the personalised bundle in its very own Books Upstairs box.
