Last Christmas, I gave you Descartes.
But the very next day you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears,
I'll give you some Aristotle.

What started as a pop-up (that never popped-down) evolved into the most gorgeous haven for bookworms.
Thank you to all of you beauts who have supported us through it all accepting grumpy recommendations, sulky replies, and reluctant smiles (and that's only Marta).

16 years ago today we opened the doors to Dublin's newest bookshop.That @gutterbookshop.bsky.social continues to thrive today brings me so much joy. We created something that brought people together & celebrated books & reading. I feel like I added something good to the world & I'm so proud of that.
