WH Smith

This branch of WH Smith is very small compared to some of their other stores, it seems a bit poky inside actually and I noticed last week that the interior looks a little tired.
If you’re prepared to overlook the style of the store, you can expect to find all the excellent books and magazines that are available in the larger Smiths.
At the moment they have a good sale on with many of the hardbacks having huge reductions, I’m not sure if this is the case in other WH Smiths stores but this Northfield branch has included absolutely loads of bestsellers and fairly new releases in this sale.
As you go in the store you’ll see an excellent range of magazines and newspapers, the choice of mags in here is second to none and I can get all my celeb news, a boxing mag for my fella and comics for the kids.
I always have a mooch around the paperbacks as sometimes you’ll find a book on the shelf which has been unceremoniously reduced in price and then you feel that you’ve had a real bargain! There’s a brilliant choice of paperbacks ranging from classics to new chick lit releases.
There’s also a decent non-​fiction section which included biographies, reference books, craft books and anything else you can think of. Prices for these are quite expensive and I’d rather borrow these from the library than pay over the odds like this.
Staff in WH Smiths are generally knowledgeable about the books they sell, I’ve never been given any bad advice in this branch and whenever I ask for the location of a specific book they have taken me straight there without sending me all around the shop!
