About Bridge Book Shop
Just a short hop from Howth in the broader peninsula area, Bridge Book Shop bridges the gap between cosy village charm and serious bibliophile satisfaction. Specialising in rare finds, first editions, and a stellar Irish literature section, it's a hidden favourite for collectors exploring Dublin's northside. From James Joyce rarities to contemporary Howth-inspired novels, the curated collection draws you in with its scholarly yet approachable air. The owner, a lifelong Dubliner, shares anecdotes about sourcing books from old Howth estates, making every visit a story in itself.
