    I had the pleasure of attending the launch of Eason’s 125th Birthday celebrations last night.

    It was a lovely mix of history and stories and speakers on the night included the authors Cathy Kelly, Paul Howard (better known as Ross O’Carroll Kelly) and the Queen of Irish writing Maeve Binchy. You’ll be able to hear some of Maeve’s words on Culture Cafe on 2XM on Wednesday October 5th at 1000.

    Here’s all the press stuff:

    Wednesday 28th September, Eason, Ireland’s leading retailer of books, stationery, magazines and lots more, officially marks its 125th anniversary.

    Eason will kick start the celebrations this evening with an exclusive invite only event in their flagship store on O’Connell Street, when guests will hear from a number of well known authors and friends of Eason; Maeve Binchy, Cathy Kelly and Paul Howard (aka Ross O’Carroll-Kelly). (more…)
