Thank you all for your continued support of Coolim Books. As Christmas approaches and many of you will be looking for stocking fillers, I thought it would be a good time to remind you of some 2023 publications available on our online store. These include the Skibbereen Historical Journal Vol 19 2023, the Castlehaven/Myross History Journal Vol. 4 2023 and the Kilbrittain Historical Society Journal Vol. 7 2023/24. As always, the proceeds of the sales of local journals go directly to the historical society who produced them. A full list of Local Journals on sale via Coolim Books can be seen here.

In further news, Coolim Books has developed a new online presence that sells only to Ireland. This came about as the cost of postage for heavier items to international destinations is prohibitive. So this store contains a selection of heavier second hand books. It also has our own publications, a selection of local journals, and the recent publication The Ebb & Flow of Ilen: 50 Years of Ilen Rovers GAA Club. Postage is €7 for purchases under €50 and is free for sums above that.

To celebrate this development, for the month of December 2023, our own publications are on sale at the new site. To see the sale items click here.

Finally a word on behalf of our friends at the Cork Historical & Archaeological Society. They have recently developed their own online store, where you can purchase back issues of their Journal. To visit their store click here.

🎄🎄 I wish you, and all yours, a happy and peaceful Christmas.🎄🎄
