• Go now Waterstone's

Posted on 16 / 10 / 2006

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 Lincolnshire, and only had the opportunity to visit Waterstone's 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 into organised religions. Only available as a hardback currently I ordered it from the Waterstone's website for £10.00 (List price: £20.00), and this was 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 your interested in, but on the whole 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 the most clear, crisp and clean site I have browsed and is only let down by a lack of editor and customer reviews. Ordering is easy and delivery is good.
