"If you're looking for an old map, or print, or engraving, or a watercolour view, or modern oil painting or sculpture, the obvious place to look is Kenny's Bookshop & Gallery, which is something of a Galway institution. Oh, they sell books too; they would have something like 150,000 in stock at any one time, piled and stacked not only in the shop but up several floors to the attic, on shelves, in corners, up the stairs, on window ledges, in baskets and crates.

As for old books, their Antiquarian 'Department' issues up to 14 catalogues in a year. They have literally crates of first editions - Yeats, Synge, O'Casey, the younger poets. They will undertake to find any books for you - and, to top it all off, their Fine Binding Workshop will lovingly wrap it in soft leather and end papers, tool it and gild it, and add a silken tassel if you should so desire.

There are eight Kennys, all of them in the business. It was founded by Desmond and Maureen some fifty years ago, and has grown like the family. The business has been likened to a private club, where browsers and chat are encouraged. You can even browse by post - much of their business, both art and books, is export."
