Reviews of Vibes & Scribes Bookshop

E. D.

Great place to get new and second hand books. They have it all from the newest releases to classics to more indie books. It's a lovely place to stroll through and you definitely won't be leaving without a book in hand.

S. F.

Probably one of the best bookshops I've been to! The manga section had great choice, especially compared to shops like Eason's, and on top of that the prices are pretty good. The staff member I met was friendly and they we're able to chat about the manga I was buying. Would definitely recommend and will happily go again next time I'm in Cork city!

P. M.

Very big selection of both new and used books, nicely categorised with easy access shelves plus enticing bargains at 5 euros competing well with the many Charity shops around the City

G. W.

Both the new and second-hand stores are brilliant bookstore with a large variety of books from many different genres. The second-hand bookstore is my first place to look for any books I may need, and the first hand book store had lots of interesting and well thought out displays. Staff are friendly and informative. Highly recommend!

S. P.

Nice little bookstore. I went there to find a wrapping paper but there isn't too much of choice. As I saw they have a pretty bog range of books so I am sure you will find what you are looking for.

B. B.

Great place to find some old books for cheap. Books are categorised and displayed by authors name. Some books stacked on the ground so need to bend over fully to see the whole selection.

C. P.

They have a really great collection of books and some very creative greeting cards. I love their blind date with a book section! So good! My favourite section is probably the section with children's books. They have some amazing collections that I have never found anywhere else.

M. D.

Brilliant!! Ordered books a few days ago at exceptional prices, arrived at my door promptly. Absolutely recommend this shop!!! Thanks, felt like a real treat when my delivery arrived.

A. B.

My favourite bookshop in the whole country. They have something for everyone and the staff are really helpful. I never leave without buying a few bits. Great prices.

M. W.

My all-time favourite bookstore! The entire layout is lovely, the staff are always so kind and helpful, and the vibes (pardon the pun) are great! Both the new and second-hand bookshops have such a great selection and I always find exactly what I need there... The only bookstore I go to anymore because I love it so much!!! Would highly recommend, best bookstore in Cork city by FAR!!

J. K.

Wonderful shop to browse and find a good book to read

I was mad about this place until they reorganize the comedy section. I used to go in there every weekend and browse their discounted books and get great deals. Staff are really friendly and helpful. They have an all round great selection of very interesting books.

A. G.

It's like an adventure, you never know what the find will be...

B. E.

Great selection of books and very welcoming!

Great bookstore with a solid collection of both old and new books. They often have stock on sale so it's a Great place to pick up a bargain, especially when it comes to classics. Also they have a very good collection of graphic novels in the used book store. It's a Great go to for comic book fans.

Absolutely coolest bookstore!

R. K.

Wonderful shop! The staff are always so friendly and there's a broader range of books than other shops. Best bookshop in Cork City by far.

L. H.

Just passing through, a nice store with a lot of variety of books. I bought THE RIGHTEOUS MIND by Jonathan Haidt. My youngest boy likes his writings so I thought it would be worth the investment.

S. S.

I really like this book store, they have way too many good books! The staff is helpful, if you are looking for something just ask!

S. A.

Best bookstores in Cork. Superb staff, outstanding selection

B. S.

Was in the used book side recently looking for an out of print and very hard to find book. The selection seemed really great and staff was extremely friendly and willing to help! Willing to order my book but they were looking for something like 20 euro, I passed and ended up finding it used and in excellent condition for 6 euro elsewhere. Overall I would recommend!!

D. C.

The used books section is a separate store a few doors further. And although you can find interesting things there, the price they ask is very close from the new books' that you can see in the main store. Weird.

O. O. C.

A most incredible bookshop. I absolutely loved it. Could have spent the day there. Would have loved if it had a little coffee shop down the back with sofas where I could gave sat and read my book with a coffee. Will definitely be back

P. O.

Great bookstore with a funky mix of art, graphic novels and second hand. A place to find stuff you won't see elsewhere.

l. 1.

I like the selection of books in vibes and scribes but I find their books quite expensive, saying that I also find other book shops quite expensive so this is not exclusive to Vibes and Scribes

Two book stores by the side of the river. Wonderful places to pick up a used or new book. The craft shop is a third store; second bridge down on the right, when you come out of the bookshops, and on the right side of the road before the steep hill.

Very nice bookshop, they have a separate used book store right next door as well, and also a new books store, where they also have cards and puzzles. Great prices and a good variety and selection.

O. B.

Beautiful selection of books. Building is well kept and tidy. There are two shops right next to each other one specialising in brand new books and the other in used books. Both are affordable. The used shops books are in absolutely perfect condition. If it wasn't marked it would be impossible to tell they were used. 10/10 would recommend shopping here.

T. H.

Wonderful little gem of a book shop.

J. 1.

Excellent bookshop with great range of books at very good prices! Highly recommend browsing... but be warned... highly dangerous if you're a book addict like me!! Both new and quality used books... today I came across a Lucy Worsley book I wanted for 1 euro!

The 'new' book shop is interestingly stocked and has substantial arts, history and fiction sections. It is large and well organised. The 'secondhand' shop a door along is similarly large and well stocked but within each wide subject section is less well organised. You can probably find some gems or bargains but you'll have to hunt for them.

S. P. s.

I love this bookstore! Second hand and new books next door.

G. L.

one of my favorite bookshop on the island, They have one shop do all second-hand books, and the other one is all brand new and recently released books. If you are lucky, you can even get a signed book by the writer.

k. k.

Great selection of books, okay prices. There are very few if any good second hand book stores around which makes this store so important. My first port of call when in the city.

R. P.

A lot of choice, there's a second hand shop alongside a shop with new books and some gift items and cards. Prices can be keen but not always. Staff are friendly and helpful. Definitely worth a visit if you're in cork city.

J. R.

Great choice of books and comics, nice bookshop-eque ambience. Would do with another cashier as the geezer in front of me today was waisting everyone's time looking for some book long lost in time.

G. M.

Always well stocked especially new and used graphic novels. Staff are very informed but happy to let you browse in peace. Love visiting here every time I come to Cork

b. g.

Manga section was really good. Has the most manga selection out of all the bookshops in the city, I was really impressed. The prices were really good too. 100% would recommend, can’t wait to go again.

S. R.

Used book store has a great collection for all ages. However if you are looking for toddler level books they don't have it in the used book store. The new book store has them.

B. B.

I love shopping online at Vibes and Scribes as they are so reliable and effecient!! I know that if I order wool that I need it will be with me very quickly and if I have a problem they are more that willing to help.

K. B.

Really enjoyed it had an hour to browse before I was very gently reminded that they were closing so gently it felt like a library instead of a book shop brought two books for a ten euros.Would recommend
