Waterstones

General information

We're the team at Waterstones Guildford, updating you on the goings-on in-store plus our favourite new reads, upcoming events and general book-related news. For more regular updates you can also follow us on www.twitter.com/guildfordbooks.

We are a group of passionate and enthusiastic booksellers housed in a gorgeous three storey building full of books. The team has eclectic interests ranging from Tudor history to high fantasy and from literary fiction to cookery. The one thing that unites us, regardless of genre, is an unadulterated enjoyment of all things books: we believe that people should read more; that an enjoyment of books increases when they’re shared; and that books, whether fiction or non-fiction, can teach us about the world.

We have a large kids’ section with qualified Children’s Book Experts who love to recommend ideas for bookworms and reluctant readers alike. We also run a varied events program with celebrity signings, author talks, kids’ activities and book groups running throughout the year. So whether you’re looking for your next great read, want to meet an author, or get together with other booklovers you are very welcome to browse our shelves, chat to a bookseller and check out our events online.
