It's been quite some time since I last visited a Waterstone's and I am feeling quite nostalgic at the thought. I live in a rural district of the UK, and only had the opportunity to visit Waterstone's is when a family member would go shopping to either Sheffield or Nottingham.
Possibly like many other people with a lack of transport and living in the countryside I have become reliant on the World Wide Web to do my shopping. The latest book I ordered from the Web is the 'The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins who is a terrifically witty man who sticks it to organised religions.
Only available as a hardback, the Waterstone's website lists it for £10.00 (List price: £20.00), this about the lowest price I could find online after visiting four or five of my usual haunts (including amazon.co.uk). The main issue I dislike with websites in general is the difficulty of finding something a little unusual, you end up going after the title you're interested in, but on the whole you will not venture anywhere else.
In-store you can walk around at your own leisure and it's easier to come across something you had never thought about reading. Getting back to Waterstone's site, it's without doubt a most clear, crisp and professional site, and is only let down by the lack of editor and customer reviews.
