Build all those Billys with my own hands...
Gutter Dalkey turned 12 today! 💚📚
What started as a pop-up (that never popped-down) evolved into the most gorgeous haven for bookworms.
Thank you to all of you beauts who have supported us through it all accepting grumpy recommendations, sulky replies, and reluctant smiles (and that's only Marta).

Happy Galentine's Day! To warm up your hearts we have site-specific treats for you chosen by our wonderful staff: Lucky Dip in #TempleBar and Mystery Date with a Book in #Dalkey.
We couldn't do Blind Date with a book as people started asking if them were books for blind people. Oh, humanity...

Thank you @penguinbooksireland for an amazing #MeetTheAuthors event!
#TeamGutter had a brilliant time chatting with authors and elbowing other booksellers out of the way to grab precious proofs (not Marta, she stayed behind eating all the spring rolls, the woman has priorities).

If you're near Cow's Lane or Dalkey, do pop your head in, we're clearing the shelves a bit.

Both shops are open today (hi @gutterdalkey.bsky.social!) while @martaofthegutters.bsky.social is taking a day off but do not let that stop you from dropping off chocolate for her.
