Waterstones: Lancaster's Main Bookshop

As students studying at the University of Cumbria and for most of you living in Lancaster, you will be aware that Waterstones is the main available bookshop in Lancaster. We are very fortunate that we have two Waterstones, one located on King Street, and one in the Marketgate shopping centre.

"Waterstones' mission is to be the leading bookseller on the high street and online providing customers the widest choice, great value and expert advice from a team of passionate about bookselling. Waterstones aims to interest and excite its customers and continually inspire people to read and engage in books," Waterstones, official website, www.waterstones.com

First established, and opening in 1982, Waterstones is one of the largest bookshops across the UK. You are sure to find whatever book you need whether it is for a selected module or if you simply wish to purchase something for your enjoyment. If you are unsure of what genre you are looking for or where to look within the shop, the staff are extremely helpful and will locate a specific book for you. If you cannot get the book you wish from the bookshops, there is always the online shop that ships throughout the UK, and that will include Lancaster! There is also an option available that allows you to have the book you want delivered to your local Waterstones if you do not want, or cannot have the book delivered to your home. 

Locally, the Waterstones do stock most of the books that are on your set reading lists for each module which will make the books more accessible for each of you!
