In honour of Bloom's Day, anyone ordering today (in store and online) will receive an authentic 1904 penny.

A penny was enough in Ulysses for Leopold to buy a 'Freeman's Journal' newspaper. We 100% guarantee that this isn't the same penny.

I'm off on my first holiday in a couple of years on Friday.
Normally my dad (Dermot, who some of you may well have had the pleasure of meeting) would sort all the online orders while I'm away, but he's just got himself a brand new hip.
If you order by 10pm this Thursday (22nd) I will get your order posted this week.
If you order after that there will be a little discount (applied automatically at the checkout) to sweeten the delay, because I will only get to process them on Tuesday 3rd of June when I'm back.
Apologies for this, but it's one of the hassles of running your own small business.

With the evenings gone forward,
And the plants a growing.
Heed well Klaus' flower word*,
And increase your knowing.

The bible of veg, the handbook of herbs,
Whether you're country or from the burbs.
A bargain this week, a resource always,
Clear and concise, do it the easy ways!

All Irish women shine so brightly,
And these tales show just how mighty.
Stories of triumph, entrepreneurship,
And bravery all worthy of worship.

From motherhood to coming out,
The Oscars and election bouts.
This book, this week, has got it all,
So come and get it and be enthralled.

Dublin's beauty is sometimes hidden,
But comes back strong, oft unbidden.
We see it in the oddest places,
And also in its people's faces.

An intimate look at its locals and lives,
Its showiest streets and its diviest dives.
A mixture of stories and beautiful sketches,
For less this week than it usually fetches!

Heinlein's stories are all brill,
Sure to charm and sure to thrill.

Johnny Rico, what a lad,
Bombing bugs aint too bad.

Or Mike, the AI who gains a soul,
And helps the rebels to their goal.

Valentine Smith, the Martian chap,
Returns to earth, but is it a trap?

In war-torn skies where bombers hum,
A paradox beats like a heavy drum.
Logic bends and reason snaps,
Sanity falls right through the gaps.

Poor Yossarian longs to flee,
But it's hard to prove insanity.
To leave, he must be deemed insane,
Yet fearing death is far too plain.

This brilliant book is my all time fave,
Humour and tragedy on every page.
This week there's a bargain to sn**ch,
But with it there aint a single catch!

The books of the wonderful Griffiths
Would best many other word smiths.
Prolific and wittily written
Try one and you're sure to be smitten.

To start, there's Doctor Ruth Galloway
Fifteen books and she never backs away.
Or else there's Mephisto and Stephens
Six mysteries to send your head reelin.

And yet still there's more besides
And the quality never slides.
This week only they're discounted
On your shelves may they be mounted.

Did you ever read any Ira Levin,
Fear not, it's a simply sorted sin.
These terrible tales teeming with tension,
Deserve the very closest attention.

Feminist horror, a N**i Hunter,
Your preconceptions torn asunder.
The demise of freethinking women,
Terror enough for you to swim in.

This week only, get 'em cheapo,
A sweet deal on this epic trio.
Even if you've read them before,
Buy them again and support a bookstore.

He is most famous for his psycho Bateman
Bret E E had himself a great plan
For here, he delves into non-fiction
And some of the causes of the world's friction.

Partly memoir, partly contemplation
A bit noir, and a bit speculation
Focusing mostly on freedom and truth
For four decades, the world he did sleuth.
