The Church Street bookshop owned by John McEvoy, was crowned 'Bookshop of the Year' at the glittering Bord Gais Energy Book of the Year Awards ceremony in the RDS last Thursday evening where President Michael D Higgins was guest of honour and Nobel laureate Seamus Heaney was among the award recipients.
