    Charlie Byrnes in Middle St in Galway - a famous-in-Galway local bookstore - has a big sale on this week. Half price on second hand books and between 30 and 10 % off everything else including brand new books.

    SO what this means is that for the first time in a long time books will actually be priced accordingly in there. Went in last week to pick up 4 books, all 4 were at least 3 euro cheaper in easons.

    That's very harsh - there are books that you go to easons for and books that you go to Byrnes for. Byrnes is not exactly a standard high street book store. Which is why it's so good.

    To be fair they have a really interesting and diverse range and mostly in my experience they offer excellent value for money.

    How is it harsh? For years Charlie Byrnes has been quietly jacking up the prices and at this stage it's now often cheaper to pick up a the same book as new elsewhere as it is to get a second hand copy in there. A lot of people who constantly defend the shop do so because it they think going there over Easons makes them superior. Their selection of book sis also quite poor atm with shelves overflowing with trashy chick lit and James Patterson all of which are cheaper elsewhere. I like the shop and enjoy browsing, what I don't like i being ripped off.
