Good but not great. Pretty wide magazine selection given its smallish size though.

The books in this WHSmith can be roughly divided into three categories: Chick-lit for train journeys, airports and beach holidays. Bloody and grueseome thrillers for train journeys, airports and beach holidays. Travel guides to make you wish you were taking lots of long train journeys and beach holidays. I’m always drawn to the latter but the titles and book covers of the first two usually put me off. I mean, who wants to be seen reading a book called Broken, Blind Fury, I Heart Paris or Men I’ve Loved Before? Personally, I’d opt for a Mojo, Rolling Stone or Vogue from the magazine section instead.

I have only been once in this particular store and got a bit dizzy with all the bright signs posters located erratically around. This WH Smith seems to be overflowing with stock which feels like it has been stuffed on shelves and piled on tables and will at any moment overflow and come tumbling down on to you. You can find some great deals on books and stationary, which makes me think all the overstock of other stores might end up here. It’s a bit hard to orientate around despite the signs. I am hoping this jumbled mess was a one off thing and that they have sorted it it out since then cause it was becoming a bit claustrophobic in there. Usually I like jumbled bookshops where you have to hunt around, but this place somehow was not relaxing and I wasn’t willing to stay too long in there in case it really did explode.

This is a large store situated just inside the Cameron Toll shopping centre. As it is all on one level and open plan, it is easy to see where things are without too much effort. There is a large selection of books, often with good offers and recommendations, a good range of newspapers and magazines, a wonderful card collection and an excellent stationery section. There is a small service desk towards the back of the store where staff will answer any queries you might have — generally I find they are very helpful. Towards the back is the music and DVD section which, as in many W H Smith stores, is sadly lacking, however the prices are generally fairly good and it’s great for picking up bargain CDs as well as the latest releases. I enjoy browsing through this store and usually end up buying something I never thought I needed!
