Waterstones Reading

Absolutely loved this Waterstones!! They've made such great use of the existing architecture to create a shop with loads of little bolt holes for different sections rather than a bland open plan. Usual fantastic selection of books of all genres and nicely done display tables that grab your eye. Loveky to see to many young people sat around reading too.

Wonderful bookstore, huge variety of books; fiction, non-fiction, special editions, manga... Stationary and gift section is also great. There are chairs around to sit and read, very friendly and helpful staff, it is a cool place to spend time. A mainstream and academic book retailer that encourages browsing!

I thought this book store was very cool! It was so big it just jept going on AA you walk through. They had so many different books and genere and the prices weren’t bad at all. They had sales and marked down books as well. The staff were nice. The interior look liked it was an old church at one time which gave it a nice touch. The books and everything reminded me of a Barnes and nobles but more unique.

Hands down one of the best Waterstones I've ever visited! Open plan, armchairs and sections dedicated to Jane Austen/ Paddington/Snoopy/mushrooms. They also have a few jellycats. The sale section is good and the staff are friendly. Definitely worth a visit!!

Every time we visit a Waterstones store, we’re met with the same wonderful atmosphere — warm, welcoming, and filled with the magic of books. The staff are always kind, polite, and professional. We have a special love for Waterstones (Reading), as this is where our daughters had the chance to meet Annabel Steadman and get their Skandar books signed — an unforgettable experience! Whenever we're in town, visiting this shop has become a lovely family tradition.
