Ulysses Rare Books, Dublin

Ulysses Rare Books (formerly Cathach Books) was founded by our late father, Enda Cunningham, back in 1969. At that time he was trading part-time and issuing catalogues only. Some years later after moving from Donegal to Dublin he opened his first shop in George Street Market Arcade.

It was a small shop and he was more than capable of running it himself. However after two years he felt it would be a good idea to move to a better location, and in early in 1988 an opportunity arose to move to Duke Street, just off Dublin fashionable Grafton Street.

It was then that my sister Aisling and I decided to join him. In April of that year, we became full-time booksellers.
