My PlanetWare Guide to the Best of Ireland now online.  

Top of the list is Trinity College. It never fails to amaze me how many Dubliners have never been, never mind visitors from overseas.  Of course there you'll find the incredible Book of Kells and magnificent Long Room - the inspiration for the library at Harry Potter's school of magic Hogwarts. Scroll down the list for the best Ireland has to offer and follow the links for Dublin, Cork, Galway and many other destinations.  Just click the link: 

A great pleasure to interview Mervyn Sloman - Founder of The Book Lounge. Mervyn's a true champion of local writers. If travelling to Cape Town be sure to drop by the store for a cup of their legendary coffee, a chat about books and who knows what undiscovered literary gem you might pick up. The Open Book Festival kicks off in September.
