Waterstones
Waterstones, formerly Waterstone's, is a British book retailer that operates 275 stores and employs around 3,500 staff in the UK and Europe as of February 2014. Established in 1982 by Tim Waterstone, after whom the company was named, the bookseller expanded rapidly until being sold in 1993 to W H Smith. Bought again in 1998 by Waterstone, EMI & Advent International, the company was taken under the umbrella of HMV Group, which later merged the Dillons and Ottakar's brands into the company.
Following several poor sets of results for the group, HMV put the chain up for sale. In May 2011, it was announced that A&NN Capital Fund Management, owned by Russian billionaire Alexander Mamut, had bought the chain and appointed James Daunt as managing director.

ABOUT ME //
Hello! My name is Kayley Hyde, I’m 24 and I’ve had this channel for nearly TEN years now. Wild, I know. I’m from Seattle, Washington and absolutely love being from the Pacific Northwest but am currently studying media and public relations in London, England. I also did a two year stint working at the Disneyland Resort. Essentially, I have life commitment issues. This channel is a space for me to talk books, travel, fashion, social issues and whatever else tickles my fancy. I do my best to only shop at sustainable, fair-trade places, use entirely cruelty-free products & am working on going zero waste, so I guess you could say I like this planet we live on and hope it lasts for a long time. For more info, feel free to reach out at the social links up above! Thanks for watching(/reading).

An interview with Russell Norman - winner of Waterstones Book of the Year for Polpo
Russell Norman, whose cookery book Polpo, after his restaurant of the same name, was named Waterstones Book of the Year for 2012, spoke to us in London the day before the announcement.
At that point unaware of that he was set to win, he discussed the inspiration for his cooking; his favourite cookbooks; his Christmas lunch traditions; and the possibility that there may be more books set to come very soon...
Read more on this at Waterstones.com/blog (
You can buy Polpo your local Waterstones bookshop ( or online at Waterstones.com (
Introducing O.W.L.S.
We're excited to announce the Ornithological Waterstones Landing Service, a brand new way to receive your favourite books.
O.W.L.S. consists of a fleet of specially trained owls that, either working individually or as an adorable team, will be able to deliver your package within thirty minutes of you placing your order.
Watch our Press Manager Jon Owls introduce the O.W.L.S. project.
Putting O.W.L.S. into commercial use will take a number of years as it takes ages to train owls to do anything and we only just thought of it this morning.

Book Store
Bookstores (called bookshops in the United Kingdom, Australia and most of the Commonwealth apart from Canada) may be either part of a chain, or local independent bookstores.
Bookstores can range in size offering from several hundred to several hundred thousands of titles. They may be brick-and-mortar stores or internet only stores or a combination of both. Sizes for the larger bookstores exceed half a million titles. Bookstores often sell other printed matter besides books, such as newspapers, magazines and maps; additional product lines may vary enormously, particularly among independent bookstores. Colleges and universities often have their own student bookstore on campus that focuses on providing course textbooks and scholarly books, although some on-campus bookstores are owned by large chains such as WHSmith or Waterstone's in the United Kingdom, or Barnes & Noble College Booksellers in the United States, which is a private firm controlled by the chair of Barnes & Noble.
Another common type of bookstore is the used bookstore or second-hand bookshop which buys and sells used and out-of-print books in a variety of conditions.[1][2] A range of titles are available in used bookstores, including in print and out of print books. Book collectors tend to frequent used book stores. Large online bookstores offer used books for sale, too. Individuals wishing to sell their used books using online bookstores agree to terms outlined by the bookstore(s): for example, paying the online bookstore(s) a predetermined commission once the books have sold. In Paris, the Bouquinistes are antiquarian and used booksellers who have had outdoor stalls and boxes along both sides of the Seine for hundreds of years, regulated by law since the 1850s and contributing to the scenic ambience of the city.
