Dimma’s Bookfest on October 22
On Saturday, October 22, from 11am to 1pm SVP Church Street, Roscrea will offer book lovers a chance to avail of outstanding book bargains from Dimma’s Bookshop.
Opened in June of this year, the fledgling book store has become a favourite haunt of many. With over 3,500 books of all shapes and sizes, all of diverse content and subject matter, the treasure book room in the SVP shop offers a cornucopia of delights. Many come daily just to browse and a great welcome awaits all, whether they buy or not. The new novels, cookery and children’s sections are housed in the main shop. Also, there is an honesty corner of good used books where one can pick up volumes for a small donation to SVP.
New stock has been added as increased shelving became available. The small kitchen area of the former café has become ‘The Foreign Corner’ with interesting vols from the various continents on their history, politics and culture. And all at rock bottom prices. Also there is now a marvellous extensive collection of new books on cookery on sport. The Local Studies collection with scarce local works will repay inspection. Why not have a look and see what you missed when these local books were published, some many years ago? Like to browse: why not go through the boxes of pamphlets, maps and journals, most of them on offer for only 50 cents. Back copies of Roscrea People, The Roscrea Digest, The Birr Review, Clonmore - Templemore Annual and the Moyne-Templetouhy Year Book are all available for various years.
