THREAD The safety and wellbeing of booksellers and customers is our priority as we all deal with the impact of coronavirus. Our shops are open* and we're following advice, being stringent about cleanliness, especially in our cafes * 6 campus-based shops are temporarily closed 1/7

Whilst our shop is closed, we'll be taking a break from posting here but make sure you're following Waterstones. Remember that you can still use waterstones.com or our app to browse and buy books and gifts. See you soon.

LOCKDOWN SERVICE: Open for Click and Collect and advanced payment of orders during our normal shop hours. Call 01565621920 to speak to a bookseller who can take payments in advance for your orders over the phone. You can then collect it from our covid secure doorway! Stay safe!

Thank you to everyone who has ordered with us so far!!! Here for collection, payment needed in advance on 01565621920. Here every day to help you keep reading through lockdown 2 (the superior sequel, in my opinion)
