    Dungeon Bookshop - Stairs to the first floor

    I have a nose for books. And I'm a bit of a book whore. Plus I'm broke. The good part about all…read morethat is that I can smell out a good used book shop at 100 paces, saving myself zillions in new-book costs. So when I found myself in Killarney with nothing to read and only a few quid in my pocket, I followed my nose to the Dungeon in the same way a starving man follows his to a steakhouse. Or broke country finds the IMF. The bonus of a place like the Dungeon is that the books are JUST organized enough to make a degree of sense, and yet there are far more books than shelves, so there are boxes and stacks and piles along the floor and against the walls. So a book whore can spend hours happily digging around the "Sci Fi" or "Fantasy" sections discovering new talents that are recent best sellers or old friends that he's been meaning to hang out with again, and prices are low enough that one doesn't have to feel guilty picking up a few of each. The staff was wonderful, very tolerant of me hanging around for awhile, and I found some excellent deals. Bottom Line: Don't bother me, I'm reading.

    This felt like a bookstore made of spare parts. The shelves are stocked with books sorted only into…read morethe broad sections "fiction" "nonfiction" and "children's", with no further organization than that. The carpet is decrepit as best, and actively decaying at worst. The place, at least when I visited, is strewn with cardboard boxes. And in an extremely baffling addition, the shelves are riddled with backpacks. That is not a typo, the number of backpacks sold here is inexplicably massive. The selection is equally strange, being dominated by poor condition paperbacks you might find at goodwill and literature textbooks that seem to have been purchased in bulk. In the bright side, if you do find something good the prices are actually excellent.
