Our Like Will Not Be There Again : Notes from the West of Ireland
by Lawrence Millman, Edward Hoagland (Preface).
In this gripping book Millman records the wonder tales, jokes, and violent opinions relayed by the storytellers of West Ireland. Through their words, we are drawn beyond the realm of storytelling and into the very lives of coopers, thatchers, farriers, weavers-craftspeople once indispensable who are now anachronisms in an increasingly industrialized country. An elegy to the loss of traditional life in the west of Ireland, this book details the region's vanishing communities and landscape-the fields and pubs, isolated farmhouses and tinker encampments-with deep reverence and precision.

Wicked Irish
by Howard Tomb, Jared Lee (Illustrator).
From Dublin on Five Pints an Hour to Genuflection for Beginners, Wicked
Irish helps visitors negotiate the nuances of a country where even trees are
considered Protestant or Catholic. Learn to flatter customs agents: "'Tis a
grand machine you have there, officer!" Politely decline the heavy Irish
breakfast: "I've given up pig entrails/congealed blood for Lent." Show
appreciation for fine whiskey: "ACK ACK! Mother Mary! That goes down
the nun's knickers!" There's even a special section just for golfers: "Should I
replace divots in consecrated ground? Am I entitled to relief from this
dolmen/ewe/leprechaun? Shite! I don't usually lose a putt in the wind."
