So sue me
Waterstones in the world's worst shop, Part 2.
Ordered two books more than two books ago. Both books widely available on Amazon in different editions and by different publishers. Firstly the ordering process takes ages as the person doesn't know how to order two books for one customer so she wrote stuff out by hand on a receipt. And of course they make you pay money up front!
So after about ten days they phone (which was a surprise cos normally they promise but don't) to say one of the books is out of print. I say "did you try the sixteen other publishers who do it?".
I call in today - no hint of that book which they claim is now coming from America on a slow boat via Rotterdam. What about the other book, published just last year in England? That should be in soon - we'll phone you. I walk downstairs and decide to just check in case - and there is a pile of about fifty of the books!
