Hooray!
Waterstone's drops silly Amazon tie-in. I hated that. You may recall that I hate Amazon. And while of course we like independents the best, I am quite fond of Waterstone's. And I love online shopping. So this pleases me enormously.
I'm sorry, I realise this isn't exactly the spice of blogging life, but it's good news — very good news, for me — and I like to share. Apart from anything else, it makes it so much easier to get knitting books. Hooray!
Must now sit on fingers in desperate bid to avoid shopping... I may have overdone it a little lately.

Hey Scroob - before you abandon shopping, I heard about this today:
http://www.localbookshops.co.uk
It taps into the stock of 150 independent bookshops and findsthe book for you which you can either go and pick up or have them send it.
Abebooks.com is also very good, but "local" is a new one and a great idea.
Cheers,
Cliff
That is fantastic! Thanks for the link, I love it.
Nothing will ever beat browsing in a good real-world independent shop (and I'm thrilled to have an easy online version too), but the huge draw of Waterstone's is their vast selection. Especially in the knitting area. Anyway, thanks - I expect to use this a lot.
