I have bought from Foyles, Waterstones and Blackwells - all in the UK. What makes them special, well they are not Amazon. And Foyles used to be amazing, I haven't been for many years but it used to be the largest bookshop in the world in shelf length.

Thanks! I added Foyles.

I think there needs to be more info than just "They are not Amazon". Otherwise all shops in the list would be the same. Except Amazon :)

Which of the 3 you mentioned would you buy from for your next book order?

Foyles has been owned by Waterstones since 2018 but still keeps its separate branding. Not that you shouldn’t shop there but it’s technically the same thing.
