It had been a long time since I visited an actual physical bricks and mortar book shop, but with specific books in mind for Christmas gifts, i made the short train journey to Waterstones in Wolverhampton. I am so glad I made the effort. The shop is huge, with two floors stacked with books, from floor to ceiling. Once through the doors, the traditional shop gave me a warm welcoming feeling, with soft carpet underfoot, and the smell of traditional wood stained bookcases, a bit like putting on some comfortable old slippers. I couldn't actually find the book I was after, so had to ask the staff. They were polite, informative helpful, and took me upstairs to the appropriate section, where the book I wanted was situated. The book was for my Wife, but then I saw a book that I was interested in, so bought that as well. The range of books on offer is astonishing, fact, fiction, travel, puzzles, you name it, Waterstones have got it. An added bonus was the fact that on the way out, I came across a wall full of jigsaw puzzles, which instantly gave me an idea for another gift. As I slipped through the door, leaving the warm comfort of the shop, and stepping into the cold light of day, I felt satisfied and pleased that I had made the effort, I ended up with 3 Christmas gifts to give. Buying books online is convenient, but it can never replace the evocative emotions of a traditional book shop.

Lights no longer on, a shop lifters paradise.

Nice bookshop in Central Wolverhampton. Large variety of books and games, reasonable prices.

My closest Waterstones from where I live was Birmingham city Waterstones. Even though it is kinda bigger, it's loud and busy with book shoppers. But what I have grown to adore about Wolverhampton Waterstones, is that it's exactly what any bibliophile prefers, a small, quiet, cozy bookstore in the corner of the road. And just around the corner is Starbucks and Costa for those autumn coffee drinks to sip down with a book from Wolverhampton Waterstones!?

It's Waterstones like the rest of them. At least Wolverhampton still has a book shop even if the rest of the town is dead.
