TODAY IS INDEPENDENT Bookstore Day, an event organised by the American Booksellers Association to celebrate the resilience of small businesses that compete against global, online book sellers and large chains.
The Journal caught up with some small Irish bookshops following the arrival of Amazon.ie last month. The website’s first month had little impact on the sellers, but there are fears over the long-term threats.
Whether it’s online or in store, on an e-reader or flipping pages – a love of books are the common denominator among most customers. In the spirit of the day, test your knowledge to find out:
How much do you know about these best-selling books?

For those with Disabilities and those that Care for them.
Thank God this strike has been called off and that they get what they deserve
Well deserved
This is not a good deal. The workers for Section 39 Agencies will still be paid less than Section 38. The strike should not have been called off.
Hope the community worked get the pay rise they deserve..The appearance of Niall Collins alongside a representative of the private outsourced companies on TV last night concerning the strike was a disgrace. Collins waffled on conveniently failing to mention government policy telling community workers that their problems were with private companies. This from a man who had to resign his ministerial position and refused to appear before the ethics Committee to explain the discrepancies concerning his travel expenses. Yet he had the neck to tell community workers they should be grateful…He looked out of his depth at the Hypocrisy he sprouted…A disgrace.
