"Chapters Bookstore Dublin, is Ireland’s largest independent bookshop, known for a unique blend of new titles, extensive second-hand treasure, and a packed programme of events and community nights. We support The CAP Awards because the reality of publishing is that a book can be exceptional and still not fit a big publisher’s list: the rota is full, the category is crowded, the marketing story is hard to pitch. Independent publishing keeps those books alive, and The CAP Awards help them find visibility, readers, and the celebration they deserve, while raising funds for Aware."
