Meanwhile, in Dublin:

Spotted in @Hodges_Figgis Dublin's premier bookshop under the Judaism section. What on earth???

So a friend and I separately rang @Hodges_Figgis in Dublin 🇮🇪 this morning. We both got the same story from the woman who answered the phone: Apparently the ‘Protocols’ publication was ordered by a customer who never came to collect it, and it was then put on general sale. According to the sales clerk, the shop did not know from the title what the ‘book’ was about and it has now been removed from sale. I explained that this incident has caused a lot of upset on social media and the sales clerk apologised. I suggested that the bookshop make a public statement about their apparent error. The clerk said she would pass on my message to the manager. To his credit, the manager rang me back a few minutes ago, explained, and sincerely apologised. The bookshop will most likely be making a statement on social media about this incident soon…Much relieved, as it is one of my favourite bookshops in 🇮🇪.
