Any review provides a useful public service in that it is a form of advice to the reader; eat here, don’t eat here; read this don’t read that. But if I gave an Obsessive Blogger Badge for every review that appeared on a blog, I’d run out in less than a fortnight.<\/p>\n
In the case of David Maybury<\/a> though, something bigger is afoot. He has set himself<\/a> the task of reviewing every bookseller in Dublin (for starters) and mapping them on google. As a man who is often obsessive when it comes to books, I have a certain fellow-feeling for David and his project. Soon the readers of Dublin and beyond will have a valuable resourse, in the form of a guide to the whereabouts and quality of every bookshop in town. David has started<\/a> by giving Read’s of Nassau St. the once over. Lest he run out steam for want of encouragement, he gets a Hobbyhorse and an Eyeball in honour of his labours.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Any review provides a useful public service in that it is a form of advice to the reader; eat here, don’t eat here; read this don’t read that.
