So, apparently Marta did organise a signed Ozzy book for her dad Marek, back in Hughes & Hughes days of 2009.

Take your #IrishSummer reads to a new level, read yellow and match your book to the weather outside!
Or if you're sick of sunshine, just hide in the shade with some tempting read and ignore the world.

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).

While we're all watching the red warnings slowly expire let me mention the best perk of being a bookseller - advance reading copies! Or proofs, as we call them behind the scenes.
All those books are published in the next few months and we can't wait to talk to you about them.
