To find authentic Catholic books is not that easy even in the supposedly obvious bookshops that are supposed to sell Catholic material... I know many people now perhaps buy their books online. But if you wish to find good Catholic books on the street, you may be surprised to find them at the Bible Booksellers on Dawson Street, Dublin 2 where you will find quite rare books as well. There they have a vast supply of Bibles both Christian and Catholic. I found today the old 1966 version of The Jerusalem Bible which I purchased.
So if you want to find many of Pope Benedicts writings, St. John Paul II's writings as well as writings from the great Saints, good prayer books, a big selection of Scripture study books (various Christian writers as well as Catholic), books on the Liturgy, Divine Office etc etc. It is a fascinating old bookshop which is very easy to browse around and there is an excellent service there available if you want to order books. The staff are very friendly and helpful if you have problems finding a book. They also take some second hand books as well.
And they have a website at www.biblesociety.ie
