Much more than a book shop
For me Waterstone's is so much more than a book shop. Whenever I go there time suddenly has no meaning. The atmosphere is always so relaxed and friendly I find myself spending hours at a time perusing the shelves and chatting to both the staff and the other patrons. Finding someone who has read the same book as you creates an instant bond and it's so satisfying meeting like minded people. I find myself gravitating towards Waterstone's entirely by accident, even in cities where I've never been! It takes you out of the hustle and bustle of the high street where no one has time to stop, say please or thank you or even acknowledge your existence because we're all too busy on some errand or another. But in Waterstone's we're all the same; taking a secluded moment to ourselves to enjoy the small pleasure of a really good book.

I can always rely on Waterstone's
How many of us like going into a bookshop and buying a book just because we feel like it? Knowing that there is a chain of bookstores that will always provide you with the book you're looking for is a wonderful feeling. This is what Waterstone's does for me: it provides me with my favourite titles in store and online. Every time I need to find a book to give to someone as a present, I can always rely on Waterstone's.
