Red Books

Got a message that Sophie Grenham’s Annual Bookshop of the year poll is taking place now & Red Books is currently in second place! We had our year basking in the glamour in ‘23 but there’s plenty of other worthy candidates. strawpoll.com/ajnEO0WRkZW

Happy New Year to you all. We would like to take the opportunity to thank all our customers, staff, family, friends and creatives who made Red Books so special in 2023, and to wish you all the best in 24.

WIN A WHEELBARROW OF NEW BOOKS.... We will be setting up shop again at the Town of Books Festival in Graiguenamanagh this weekend, and we will have a FREE DRAW for anyone who buys off us at this years event with the prize being a wheelbarrow of new books valued at €500.

The IT Team at Red Books! Uploading new books to our website theirishbookshop.com. We have purchased some massive collections recently, many of which haven't made it near our shops. Lots of new titles will be added directly to the website over the coming weeks.

Happy Bloomsday! Looking forward to celebrating Joyce in style in Red Books Wexford at 7.30pm tonight.

Thanks so much to @sophiegrenham and the @Independent_ie for today's write up about Red Books. I think Sophie really got the ethos of our bookselling experience, focusing not just on the books, the events and the booksellers, but on our customers who give life to the place.
