bookstores of the world: the winding stair bookshop. Dublin, Ireland

"The winding stair bookshop re-opened in october of 2006, situated directly across from the north end of the ha'penny bridge. with a friendly and charming an atmosphere as you’ll find anywhere in Dublin. The winding stair specialises in curious children’s books, curiouser photography and art books. And an ample selection of poetry, fiction, non-fiction, second hand and antiquarian books. We've recently begun stocking books by the wonderful Die Gestalten publishing company, who specialise in dynamic, luscious, design, architecture and art books. Check them out at their website-www.die-gestalten.de. With big comfy leather chairs and fresh coffee, we invite you to stay as long as you like, unless were closed! THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW. Unfortunately you may find that even collectively we have not read everything in the shop and are unfamiliar with some authors/books. Should this occur feel free to lord your superior knowledge over us and mock us to your hearts content. After which we can order it in for you if you like." from the winding stair on MySpace, here. website, here.
