The Irish Book Lover was a quarterly review of Irish literature and bibliography established by John Smyth Crone. It includes authoritative bibliographies relating to Irish printing and publication at home and abroad, studies, biographies, notes and queries, and obituaries of Irish writers, as well as comprehensive reviewing of contemporary works and some original poetry, all making it a key source for literary researches. The editorial policy, which showed a gentle partiality to Ulster, was non-militant nationalist and increasingly pro-Gaelic. Leading contributors included D.J. O'Donoghue, F.J. Bigger, Ernest R. McLintock Dix, Revd Stephen Brown, Seamus Ó Casaide (editor from 1924), and Colm O Lochlainn - who took over publication, and later editorship, at his Three Candles Press in Dublin, 1929.
