    Just wondering does anyone know any where in town that has a good offering of college textbooks at reasonable prices, specifically English and History coursebooks. Second hand books are grand as well.

    you could try Chapters on parnell st. used to be brilliant, but havent bought college books in a while so not sure how good of a stock they keep these days. alternatively, Ebay did well for me too.

    Ebay.co.uk, Chapters in Parnell St., adverts.ie, donedeal.ie, gumtree.ie, student union shop in your university, put up an ad looking for these books and someone will get back to you.

    What history books are you looking for?

    SU Books in Trinity is good, but all the English heads are usually there at the very beginning of term to snap them up. Maybe check adverts/buy and sell. Signs in college are also a good idea. Dublin city libraries always have a good stock too - you'd be surprised! They do inter-library loans so you can get one ordered to say, the Ilac library, from somewhere else.
