    I know theres one in headford road - its an easons with a few tables and a coffee counter in it.
    I wonder if theres anything more in the city center that is similar - maybe nicer?

    Or any cafe with a decent few books.
    or any libary bookshop with a place to sit that dont mind you bringing your own food or coffee.
    I just want to browse some books, pick one i find intersting, then sit down somewhere, and read it over a coffee - preferably somewhere with a relaxed environment and a nice view to!

    thats the ideal.

    No. Join the library and bring one home maybe!

    I think that they sell coffee in the cupcake shop on Middle Street. Its based in the same building as a charity book shop. Maybe try there.

    Renzo on Eyre Street had a collection of books (I think in association with Charlie Byrnes), havent been in there for a few months though.

    Still has - I looked in the window yesterday. And yes they're selling for Charlie Byrnes.

    Not quite sure how it works though: I cannot really see booksellers being happy for food-stickied hands to be touching their new books.

    Nor can I see how the coffee shops work it...you could be supping one cup of coffee for an hour over a book...not conducive to quick turnaround I'd imagine!

    There's a really good bookshop called 'Charlie Byrne's', it is on Middle Street, located in the corn store. There is a cafe in there as well across from the bookshop. Well worth a look!
