Waterstones buys Foyles - The Bookseller

Panzer's trip into the Catosphere today took him to The Bookseller site. With a little digging around our traveling kitty found a post about the UK's Waterstones.

According to Benedicte Page and Philip Jones, Waterstones has acquired Foyles bookshops. Waterstones cited the incursion of Amazon's online presence selling books and ebooks into the UK as the reason for the purchase of the 115 year old Foyles bookstores. Both stores believe in the importance of continuing the personal interaction between bookstores and book buyers. Foyles will maintain its name and employees.

A person to help you find a book is good, too.

Panzer says, "This little kitty agrees with Waterstones and Foyles. There's nothing like strolling into a bookstore and feeling a real book between your paws."

Note: This is a medium length post. Bring a cup of tea and a muffin for today's reading selection.
