Sadly not if you’ve ordered through Amazon. Delayed until next week 😣

This is why it's always best to buy from a real, independent book shop.

None near me for miles - my nearest Waterstones is about 40 miles. I’ve had to rely on Amazon entirely since the last bookshop in the county closed down.

I get it - can you not order from Waterstones online? I genuinely don't know.

Yes, you can, but postage is extra. The only way of avoiding that is to do click & collect, but again…40 miles.

I get it. It's so frustrating. I've found when reordering vinyl, they get delivered weeks after release date. I wish there was an easier way that supported independent bookshops more easily.

The town where I live has little more than 7/11 convenience stores, nail bars and vape shops. The last second-hand bookshop disappeared over thirty years ago. The only bookshop on the island only sells Welsh language editions. Never had a WH Smith or a Waterstones bar a brief travel WHS.
