  1. @Robin_Bolin @dave_bolin We got it from us!
  2. @BlackwellMcr Too right it's accurate!
  3. @foomandoonian Oof, no. That's not the message we intended. Haven't thought this through. Oh dear..
  4. Ever wondered how a book gets into a Waterstones store? Of course you have. Here's how - The Life Cycle of a Book: storify.com/wstonesoxfords…
  5. @amandameanwhile @CourtneyDAtkins Going to tactfully ignore that you haven't commented on the 'we're all good looking' promise.
  6. @Sonotude Only because we hate food and clothes.
  7. @tintiddle See, now, we've tweeted that before and people said the same thing. Had honestly never heard that Erasmus quote before.
  8. @nikeshshukla I always liked 'One Zero One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.'
  9. @nikeshshukla To be fair, nobody talks about some of the great literature that the robots produced after the fall of mankind.
  10. @Fellwolf Most of the staff here have a fair few books put aside for after payday. We get paid and give the money right back to Waterstones.
  11. @nikeshshukla A bookseller would make a poor terminator. Travel back to 1984, get distracted by the newly published The Wasp Factory.
  12. @davesmurf ..yes. There's a trap here, isn't there?
  13. Remember, books first. Food and clothes if there's any money left.
  14. @ArticleOne1979 That'd be a real pity if true. He'd be wasted on the checkouts.
  15. @spwalker @chbidmead That's not him. We'd recognise him anywhere. It's his brother, Ian. To be fair, there is a strong family resemblance.
  16. Eden Hazard's just been in. He fluttered his eyelashes, made a few promises, eyed up the Waterstones staff uniform. He's as good as ours.
  17. We're also on Pinterest, if you like that sort of thing: pinterest.com/wstonesoxfordst
  18. @Gibbyk1 Yep. But we threw it away again. Nobody should have that much power.
  19. @Gibbyk1 All of our tweets are direct quotations from The Book of Absi-Ra. The bookseller's messiah.
  20. @ShuzzieSchanpps Nope. Only books.
