What The Gutter Bookshop is known for
Bob Johnston opened The Gutter Bookshop on Cow's Lane in Temple Bar in 2009, its name taken from Oscar Wilde's line about looking at the stars from the gutter. A second branch followed in Dalkey in 2013, both known for hand-selling fiction and children's books.
