Nigella Lawson Signing in Eason Belfast – Friday, November 2nd at 12:30pm
Pop down to meet Nigella Lawson in person in Eason Belfast at 12:30 on Friday, November 2nd!
Her new book Nigellissima takes inspiration from Italian cooking to bring the spirit of Italy into the kitchen and onto the plate, pronto. At the heart of Italian cookery lies a celebration of food that is fresh, tasty and unpretentious; Nigella Lawson reflects this in recipes that are simple and speedy, elevating everyday eating into no-fuss feasts.
We hope to see you there!

Dark Days and Long Nights at Eason
We were delighted to welcome Darren Shan and his Zombie Horde to our O’Connell Street store on Friday evening and it all kicked off very nicely.
Very few braiiiiinnnnssss were eaten, and most of our staff’s limbs remained intact… however, plenty of questions were asked and books were signed (in blood, of course).
Unfortunately one fan, Laurence Cole, got a bit too close to Darren and he was never seen again!

Anthony Horowitz Book Signing – O’Connell St at 1:30pm on Saturday, October 13th

Due to be published on October 4th, Oblivion is the final instalment in the awesome Power of Five series.
Peter Hook – O’Connell St at 7.30pm on Monday, 8th October
For fans of Joy Division, New Order and the legendary tale of Ian Curtis – this one is not to be missed! Peter Hook will be in conversation with Nadine O’Regan in Eason O’Connell St at 7:30pm on Monday, 8th October. Tickets are available from the O’Connell St information desk, or by calling (01) 858 3815.
As co-founder of Joy Division, Peter Hook was the inspiration behind a band that would shape the course of popular music. He provided the propulsive bass guitar melodies of “Love Will Tear Us Apart”, and was at the heart of the sound that came to define an era and inspire a generation. In Unknown Pleasures, he tells the story of that time; of the music, the madness, the band members and the other characters on the scene that made it the unforgettable, iconic time it was.
Peter’s latest book, Unknown Pleasures is available now in-store or online at Easons.com.
