Customer Reviews
Me and one of my friends recently went to Waterstones on Deansgate for a book signing! It was a great event!! We really enjoyed it! My only slight qualm was it was VERY warm in the room and there wasn’t any refreshments available to purchase. Otherwise. It was a great event, well organised!
Excellent book store with a wide selection. I love the other "non book" items they sell as well. A great place for gifts for all ages.
On the library itself, 10/10. On the cafe, dhey do have a decent choice of vegan foods however the place is pretty messy (tables are left dirty with the mugs etc) as only 2 people work there. Otherwise it’s a great place to read a book :)
