About this audio guide
This guide to Charlie Byrne's Bookshop in Galway starts on Dominick Street in November 1989, with an archaeologist turned bookseller and a counter with no proper till. It follows the shop's slow crawl across town to the Cornstore on Middle Street, and the quietly shrewd trade in other people's leftovers that fills its six rooms. Best heard among the secondhand shelves, with a spine within reach.
