Waterstones Reviews

I have just visited a waterstones store and had a great experience so thought I would write a review on them. The store I visited was Telford, which isn't a huge store, it only has one floor, but it is crammed with books, and I thought I knew what I was looking for and found the section straight away. I was ...  Read the complete review

Don't bother with Waterstones unless you are sure the book is in stock. I ordered a book on the 20th May hoping to receive it in time for my wife's birthday on the 8th June. Admittedly, the entry did say "Usually despatched within 7-10 days" but that should still have been fine. Needless to say nothing arrive. I was patient ...  Read the complete review

Waterstones Piccadilly is an enormous book store. It has 7 floors and is apparently the largest book shop in Europe. That I can believe. When shopping here it could be easy to become overwelmed, but helpful and friendly staff are always around to point customers in the right direction. This branch of Waterstones has had every book i ...  Read the complete review

There is nothing I love better than to have a look around Waterstone's at the new books and to then go home and just read. It is such a calm thing to do and you can be in the middle of some mystery or adventure world whilemhaving your nose buried into a book. My favourite category is chick lit as it is called which sounds horrible ...  Read the complete review

Until recently I had always been a fan of the Internet bookshops and Amazon.co.uk in particular. Whether it was the savings I was making in terms of the cost of books or the fancy recommendations feature I just couldn't stay away from that trusted site. That idea changed just last week when I started to settle into a pattern of study ...  Read the complete review

Everyone has brought a book. And to them it was just buying a book. You know just popping into the local WHSmiths or bookshop choosing a buying, nothing special just another transaction. Waterstones makes this transaction pleasurable and relaxing infact you could spend hours browsing the shelves deciding what to buy. Firstly I ...  Read the complete review

Waterstones is a well known high street bookshop and the place I always purchase my books. The reason I always come here as soon as I hear a title I want is out is because they will always have it, some book shops can be disappointing and never have books in. The good thing about this shop is they sell magazines and every book in all ...  Read the complete review

I love Waterstones. I love the classical music faintly audible in the background in many branches. I love the old buildings they often use as stores. I love the unashamedly quaint and pseudo-intellectual atmosphere they seem to promote. I even love the name. The truth is that when I buy a book I want to feel as though I'm ...  Read the complete review

I love shopping at Waterstone, because I can sit in their comfortable chairs and read a book or so for an hour without being told to hurry up. They really don’t mind, it’s nice and warm and there’s so many books to chose from, that once I’m in, it’s difficult to get back out. There are quite a lot ...  Read the complete review

This Waterstones store is huge: it was formerly Simpsons department store. It has about five floors of books and four cafes/bars/restaurants. There is seating scattered around so you can sit and browse even without refreshments. However, the store is only good up to a point. It does have a huge range of books, with many ...  Read the complete review
