Bookshop Of The Year 2025 Chapters Bookstore Dublin
It is 5 a.m. and I am sitting at the kitchen table, my jacket and bow tie abandoned somewhere in the hall, far too wired to sleep. A few hours ago, at the An Post Irish Book Awards, Chapters was named...
chaptersbookstore.com
The last 3.5 yrs a small, stubborn team has been rebuilding an independent bookshop, powered by tea, spreadsheets & a slightly excessive love of books.
We’re now officially An Post Bookshop of the Year & our MD, Mick Finucane, has written a 5 a.m. blog about it

My favourite trick here is the word still. The day is dark, the heart is tired, and the sun is still shining. Optimism as persistence & practice.
