For any bookish types who happen to be in town this evening, The Loft Bookshop on the top floor of Middle Abbey Street’s Twisted Pepper building is having a grand opening starting from 7.30pm, featuring “some wine, a little food and some music”. It’s a lovely wee place altogether — the selection is small but thoughtully assembled (any shop that stocks The Illuminatus! Trilogy is aces in my book) and the staff are friendly and genuinely enthusiastic. Plus the award-winning 3fe coffee shop is just downstairs (although it closes at 7pm… still, future reference and all that). Give it a look, why don’t you.
