On Thursday afternoon, the shop received a call from one of Michael’s personal assistants who told them that he had a client who wanted to take his children to the bookshop and wondered if they could arranged a private shopping trip. The assistant was adamant that he could not reveal the celebrity’s identity and visited the shop beforehand to assure security and privacy.

Although the mystery client was supposed to come in that evening, the appointment was changed to Saturday night.

The shop hosts a beautiful, inviting children’s section.

At 8:30 Saturday evening, a car pulled up and two very excited kids bolted out. The adult with them was a dead give-a-way in a black fedora, sunglasses and a scarf.

The children “had a blast, looking around and asking ‘Have you got this’ and ‘Dad, check out this, look at this fairy book! Dad, Dad, look at this!”

The children were not protected with masks or scarves, but dressed “completely normally …in pretty classy looking sportswear.”

By estimation, the children’s selections accounted for about 40% of the purchase.

The trip took about two hours.

Michael spent time in the entertainment section with music and movie books. The children frequently rushed over saying “Dad, look at this book. Look what we’ve got!” .

Michael bought music and film reference books, history and large coffee table books.

The shopkeepers presented Michael with a large picture book about Ireland. She said that he accepted it very graciously.
