Hughes & Hughes may now have closed but bookshops of many varieties still trade near their former locations.
Irish Publishing News offers a list of the bookshops nearby that can offer books to keep readers looking for new releases or bargain books happy.
Sadly our knowledge of Wexford Bookshops is much more limited than for Dublin stores but we’ve listed the ones we know of. If you have any more info about them, comment or e-mail and I will update the listings!
Byrne’s
Byrne’s have two stores in the Wexford area one at 31 North Main Street which is pretty books focused and one at Clonard Retail Park which is more toy focused.
The Book Centre
The Book Centre at 5 South Main Street Wexford is part of the small chain of Book Centre stores. They are generally excellent and offer a range that is impressive.
Selskar Bookshop Ltd
On Selskar Street, Selskar bookshop sells both general and education books.
