"Just turn up on the night," O'Shea has said on his Facebook page, welcoming all book-lovers to the Dubray Books rendezvous, which begins at 6.30pm on the night with free admission. "Afterwards we'll all adjourn to the wonderful Against The Grain pub on Wexford Street (a brief walk away) for some free nibbles and the now traditional blind book swap."
O'Shea also reminded guests to `bring two books you own that you love wrapped in plain paper with three clues to their content written on them. If you can't make the interview, feel free to come along after instead."
