I lived in dublin for a few months this summer, and I was missing it, so I searched the internet for places I knew, and I found out this horrible peice of news. Are there any other anarchist book stores in Dublin, or should I now need to move there and start one up?
Yeah Anthology books is pretty good. Their good for social theory. Post modernist, post structualist etc stuff in particular. And their literature section is great but their politcs section is pretty awful.
Well done to red ink anyway, it was more than a worthy venture.
Anthology Books in Temple Bar is a book store serving the queer community, carrying some good material and Books Up Stairs has its little leftie pamphlets section with the trot papers and Red Banner et al.
The only other radical bookshop I can think of is the Sinn Féin bookshop on Parnell Square. Anyone else think of any others?
I'll miss it too, even if it did insist on stocking bollocks like "Green Anarchist" and Hakim Bey.
Connolly Books is a grand little shop in my own opinion,but I will miss Red Ink.A lot.
It covered everything from local zines to Chomksy! It was a great collection of stuff in one place ran by great people.
I'll be sure to pay a visit before it closes,I'm actually pretty sad to hear this news.
Without sounding stupid,with the exception of Connolly and Red Ink,can anyone reccomend anywhere else that offers reading material up that tree?
don't think that connolly books counts as radical.
Obscure and irrelevant are more fitting.
Sorry to hear you are closing but you are not the only radical bookshop in dublin the CP have a bookshop as well in the new posh street that Wallace built.
I'm very sorry to hear this - it's Dublins loss. Red Ink was an important part of the radical and anarchist scene in Dublin and we are going to miss it very much. Thanks to you both for the time and energy you put into the project.
should this be in other press?
Please try to open again. How about Seomra Spraoi.
We were just going to drop down some new SHELL TO SEA t-shirts this week... Hope you can find another venue.
