[nlgbbbblth]

is there only one of them here?

As far as I know the one in blanchardstown is the only one here and I think its mental that they put one there and not in dublin city, shows the amount of people frequenting the Blanch centre these days I suppose. Next people will be referring to it as "Town 2".

 

[nlgbbbblth]

yeah, a strange one.
I'd never have reason to be in Blanchardstown

Soon after that, it will be called "Town 1".

Then, two weeks later, Mega-City One.

well, my own pet peeve is their separation of popular science books into individual categories, such as popular chemistry or popular physics; i've seen before where a book straddles the divide between popular physics and popular chemistry, so to eliminate any confusion between the two, they put it in popular biology.

try finding hodges figgis's ecology section...they divide it between engineering, biology, and geography, and then have another random cluster somewhere. touchscreen catalogues in big bookshops, please please!

i remember going to the states when i was about 14 and, after being to borders some night, wishing there was somewhere like that to drink coffee and read books and hang out. modified now to wishing for that but in, well, not borders.

edit: somewhere other than home, like.

I think they'd rather you drank coffee and bought books. This isn't a library, young man!

Hughes & Hughes: worst bookshops in the world. Their reference section might as well be called "MISC".
