ULYSSES Abridged ~ A Shorter Journey through James Joyces's Masterpiece ~ is now available worldwide through Ingram distributors. Looking for a copy at Winding Stairs Bookshop, please! Gary Eberle Review, posted on Amazon, April 2023 Fallon has created a labor of love, intended for those not ready to invest the time needed to read the unabridged original text. Not burdened with too much critical apparatus, this version of Leopold Bloom's day in Dublin has enough notation to point the reader toward the deeper levels that lie below the sometimes-confusing surface of this 20th century masterpiece. The novel's text is all Joyce, but judiciously reduced for first time readers.

Amazing little bookshop near the hapenny bridge, full of books, and smells of old book-smell. Absolutely stunning books, stocks wide range of Irish and English authors, classic and contemporary. Absolutely lovely staff, very polite and helpful, bought a book for uni and the book arrived early, staff held onto it for me and when I misplaced my receipt the woman there had no problem back tracking her records to help me. Books are reasonably priced for there amazing quality, and will continue to shop there for any books they stock.

This is one of my favourite spots in all the city. Although small in size, it carries a wonderful selection of books. I specially commend the poetry section, much better than other larger bookshops I've been to. The staff is helpful and can give you excellent advice. And the back section with its second-hand books seems a photograph from older times and invites to stay and read without a care in the world. Do visit it if you come to Dublin!

One of my favorite restaurants in Dublin. Great quality local and organic ingredients. The quality of the food is outstanding: non-fussy, honest Irish ingredients. Very rustic and down to earth. Prices more on the premium side but worth every penny. Small, cosy restaurant. Recommend table by the window, since other tables can feel a little cramped.

My favorite bookshop in Ireland, small but mighty. The nature section here is so good and I can’t resist it, even though I usually only read fiction. Charming space with the radio always going, which gives it the nostalgic feel of a living room in days gone by, insulated from the noise of the city just outside the window.

Lovely little bookshop with quietly cantankerous staff. At one point I asked the sales assistant if she knew where I might buy Irish linen handkerchiefs (admittedly, nothing to do with books). She shrugged and made a strange comment about the US being to blame for the fall of the Irish linen industry. Strange and silly.

One of my favourite bookshops in Dublin. It has a unique collection of feminist works and other books. There's a kids section as well at the back of the shop. It's impossible to miss the shop and right in front of Ha'penny Bridge on the Bachelor's Walk side of the river.

Great books variety, loved the postcards and the "used books" section, reasonable prices and an overall cozy feeling. Came in wanting to have tea or coffee but I wouldn't recommend it, there's 2 tables by the window where you can do that but it feels out of place to

Really quaint bookstore where every book seems to be selected and placed with purpose. I was disappointed to find out that I paid double what I would have paid on Amazon for the same books. Great to get ideas but likely much cheaper to purchase online.

My favourite bookstore in Dublin, if you are a reader who loves contemporary literature and want to see what is up and coming this is the place to go, especially for Irish authors. Its cute, quaint and homey, its small but has everything you need!

Lovely little bookshop! We went in and got to hear a wonderful reading of some James Joyce by a local poet, who also read some of his won work. A lovely selection, and a friendly atmosphere. Great place! Glad I found it!

The best food I've ever eaten, the best service I've ever gotten, spotlessly clean, fantastic selection of wine on offer. I can't say anymore than you really must try this place at least once in your life !!!

Old style bookstore. Quiet and tonnes of books. Could spend hours in there. They sell their own brand of beautiful handbound notebooks and other pieces handmade in Ireland such as bookmarks from Cork.

Lovely little bookshop with friendly staff! Even though it's a small shop, you still have a lot of books to choose from. I would recommend this gem to every bookworm. :)

Great cozy atmosphere and display. Beth was a big help with great recommendations, history and making the visit very enjoyable overall. Just visit again when in Dublin.

A treasure trove of magnificent books in an amazing location that lives and breathes of past times.The knowledgeable staff know no boundaries when it comes to service.

Very cool independent bookstore.. Great children’s section for my toddler. Prices very reasonable and was super cool to grab some classics in collectors edition!

It's an awesome place to browse books but it does have a small selection. It's really aesthetically pleasing and worth a stop for the traveling book worm.

Nice bookshop!! Only have books that are on the shelves; if not available - they are more than willing to find it in another bookstore close by for you!

Gorgeous small bookshop with a great selection of books - some you might not find in the bigger chain stores. And very friendly staff to top it off!

Fabulous quaint bookshop in the city centre. Peaceful. Picked up a book for myself and some for my niece and nephew. Got this cute tote bag too

Amazing store with really unique books accompanied by a great selection of popular and classic books. Super cozy but no winding staircase.

Absolutely charming bookstore, great selection at a reasonable price. One of my favorite places that I visited during my stay in Dublin.

One of the most beautiful shops in Dublin. Always a pleasure to come here! (and the ONLY place I have found that sells Sean Tan books!)

This place is magical! Books are extraordinary beautiful and there is an amazing selection as well! I will come back for sure …

Relaxing allowed to browse no pressure and very helpful owner. It's very important to support independent businesses like these.

Best steak we've ever had in Ireland. Tiny but great atmosphere and views of the Liffey. Absolutely gorgeous food and drink.

Very well stocked and kept shop..staff are friendly and helpful rather hard not to spend whilst you may just be browsing!

So beautiful place I think. Small but sweet Also you can find good second hand books …

Delighted to see my book stocked there, ended up signing a copy for a customer! Lovely bookshop
