A walk into a bookshop is a pleasure for a large part of the shopping population. It’s more than picking up a book. It’s the delight of finding a new genre or discovering a new author. There’s so much on offer.

A branch of Waterstones in Reading is a similar experience to many independent bookshops. It also has lots of gifts, cards, and trinkets on offer for those that want an extra treat to put into their shopping bags.


The diversity of opinion, outlook, and thought is impressive. The number of female authors is rising too. If you thought J K Rowling hadn’t inspired writers to follow in her footsteps, you’d be proved wrong easily.


The paperback market is an eclectic one. There are many different genres of books trending among the reading public. The kids books range is impressively broad. It takes into account a very diverse readership.
