While there are books which mention the GPO in the context of the1916 Rising and books which consider its architectural distinction, there is none which makes the building the focus of our attention and lets it, as it were, tell the story of the events, great and small, which have happened in and around it over the centuries. From sealing wax to the early days of broadcasting and from the Dead Letter Office to the Proclamation, Stephen Ferguson's At the Heart of Events - Dublin's General Post Office is a fascinating guide to the GPO.

Illustrated with photographs of items drawn from An Post's own and other collections, this little book will be welcomed by all who would like to know something of the history of the Post Office in Ireland, the story of today's GPO and its predecessor in College Green and, of course, the events of 1916 which gave to the building the unique status it holds today.
