A popular way for using Oileáin to best advantage “in the saddle” so to speak is to download, copy, paste, and print a section relevant to your impending adventure, thereby preserving your valuable asset in a state fit for your coffee table.

There are “registered” and “express” postage options available at extra cost, which in some instances seems quite substantial. Alternatively personal callers to me in the greater Dublin 6 area can save the P&P.  Email or ring me.
Details also from the publisher Pesda Press (again) are at Pesda or Cordée, the global distributors.

Browse (by cut and paste)  the text version of Oileáin (always right up to date, the current version with 600 islands having been uploaded as of 12th September 2022 but no maps, no colour, no photos (You can also download a PDF copy of this version from the same page).   Latest big news is that all the grid-references in the browseable version are now hyperlinks to the pier, beach, headland, island or whatever in question.  Magic!
