Feb 05,2025Exceptional Customer Service! I ordered this book as soon as I heard it was being reproduced in late 2024. It is a very handy referral book for genealogy in particular and great if you have had a member of your family in this organisation. I received an email from Anthony Tierney of Fourcourtspress before Christmas apologising for a delay in producing the book. It needed to be scanned outside of Ireland to achieve a top quality finished book as it was being reproduced from an older book. It is obvious that Fourcourtspress have extremely high standards. This process was going to cost more however unlike most businesses Fourcourtspress were not going to pass on this extra cost to it's customers. What fantastic customer service - You would not find a more honest and customer focused company anywhere. I have the utmost praise for Fourcoutspress and I will certainly purchase more books from this amazing company in the future. Highly recommend them and in particular Anthony Tierney. Thanks so much.

Jan 15,2025It seemed impossible to come by a 4 Courts publication by contacting many regional as well as national booksellers. So I 'phoned 4 Courts and was treated to a very friendly encounter and, within a day or two, the book I wanted was in my hands. What's more I did not end up paying more than I would have if I had found the book in any bookshop. Surely the various booksellers who said "No can do" could have done the same.

Dec 13,2024Impeccable service. Unusual books, properly produced. They arrived promptly, packed in an ungainly cardboard box swathed in brown adhesive tape, suggesting that they had been packed by a hardworking human.

Nov 27,2024Once again I've ordered books from this Publisher. Always so prompt to post them out, and so courteous to deal with. The books were from the Maynooth Studies in Local History Series. Well-written, well illustrated and good value. These authors are also ready to give talks on their respective subjects, and have proven very engaging for our members. Lucinda Mac Mahon, Hon.

Nov 04,2024I have ordered several times now from Four Courts Press and can only say that they are a great company to deal with. They have been a great source of books in my area of interest and said books are also very well priced. Shipping is very quick and deliveries are very well packaged to protect the contents. Communication is also first rate.

Sep 27,2024I love buying books and I love buying local, so what can be better than buying from Four Courts Press?! Anthony was super friendly and helpful via email. My books arrived well packaged and in pristine condition. A bonus box of Irish-made chocolates arrived with the books! That was a wonderful surprise. Books and chocolates?! That’s my weekend all set! A+ service from Four Courts Press.

Apr 18,2024Outstanding customer service. Well designed website that is easy to navigate and a simple payment system. Books are clearly and fully described. But the real delight was the remarkably prompt delivery of the books by cycle courier. I received the very well packed parcel three hours after placing my order! Fair took my breath away.

Feb 19,2025I ordered Jim Herlihy's book on The RIC and it arrived prompt with a lovely bar of milk chocolate. There was a special offer if ordered before a certain date, but I missed that date due to the recent storm. But Four Courts Press recognised that and refunded me Euro15 without any prompting..a lovely gesture from Anthony.
