Be more Kurt Vonnegut. Come to Ennistymon where there is plenty of opportunity for you to 'fart around'. Even more so at the Ennistymon Book Town Festival in three weeks' time - 26 and 27 August. Meet lots of people, have great chats, pat dogs, buy books, buy more books ...

Time is money. If it takes twice as long to do something you earn half as much. This is the brutal fact at the heart of Brexit.
Let’s "Brexit" a £12.99 paperback, blow by blow, and see what difference leaving the single market has made.

A happy ending indeed. Available in our Ennistymon and Kilrush shops, Co. Clare.
In my 30 years of publishing, there are very few books that match this one. It has a strange publishing history. Bear with me. The story has a happy ending. (1/14)

'Tis us! Thank you Candlestick Press for featuring us on 'Meet the stockist'.
We carry a wide range of the Instead of a Card poetry booklets. We love them. Customers love them. Recipients love them. More than a card and less extravagant than a gift, they hit the spot just right.
“…we have comfy chairs so browsers feel welcome to take their time choosing their books.”
It’s ‘Meet the stockist’ time again! Today it’s the lovely @Banner_Books in the Republic of Ireland answering questions on our blog candlestickpress.co.uk/blog/…

We love October🎃 because it is Children's Book Festival month. We have had lots of primary school children visiting our branches to enjoy workshops with authors, artists and even chess experts.😄
