Description
This title offers information about the hip spots and happening places for a new arrival in the capital city. The aim of the "Culchies Guide to Dublin" is twofold - firstly, to capture all of the facts about the Big Smoke that we all know but are too politically correct to publish - that Crumlin is a kip for example, or that Dubs know nothing about their own city. So we've produced the most honest map of Dublin ever showing all of Dublin's suburbs referenced with film certs so you know whether you should wear a dress suit or flak jacket when visiting. We've also included a chapter on things that Dubs should know but don't - why they're called Jackeens and so on. But the "Culchies Guide" also does what it says on the tin - it's a genuine travel guide with a twist. You'll never look at the "Book of Kells" or the GPO in the same light. We've also pinpointed all of the A-list celebrities houses for wannabe stalkers. All of this and more is covered in Jim Connollys hilarious, factual and bleedin deadly "Culchies Guide to Dublin".

Person
Jim Connolly is the Jackeen son of a Jackeen father and Culchie mother. His Jackeen wife and three Jackeen children still live in (and love) their beautiful, diverse and Dub-ridden Dublin. Amazed at how little Dubs knew about their own city he decided to write this comic guide to the city.
