Why It Still Matters
Online shops can be fast, but they’re noisy. Waterstones is still quiet. Slow. Thoughtful. You can browse by vibe, not algorithm. Discover a children’s book by feel. Or order something that says, “I see you” to a tired friend.
Is It Worth It?
Waterstones prices are often competitive – especially when you add in loyalty points, free delivery, and the sheer delight of an actual book arriving in the post. They also support real shops, real jobs, and a culture of reading. That matters.
