    Chapters did once upon a time, can't say if the still do. The problem with 2nd hand is they're generally out of date.

    What exactly are you looking for?

    Chapters still do sell secondhand computer books. They moved to their new premises on Parnell Street. Now the entire upper floor is their second hand stuff.

    It's well laid out, and they've got a whole little section of second hand computer books, as well as design books and other related stuff.

    +1 for Chapters!

    I've bought books there in the past. Really good value.

    They won't have the more up to date stuff but it's a great place for novice/intermediates who need to learn the fundamentals etc before being at the cutting edge.

    If I don't buy from there I usually use bookdepository.co.uk they are a hell of a lot cheaper than irish stores and have free shipping to Ireland. WIN!

    Chapters was great (great doesn't even cover it! IMO) shortly after it opened, they'd a nice big section of second hand books on computers, software and coding, unfortunately they don't seem to be having much luck getting their hands on more second hand books for that genre as the last couple of times I've been in there the section was half the size it used to be and most of the stuff was on just a few applications and OS.:(
