Are you the Author?
We, the local residents of Haringey are dismayed and disappointed to learn of your plans to close down the Wood Green branch of Waterstones and re-open it as a branch of H and M. We have long enjoyed the great service and choice of books that Waterstones in Wood Green offers. We sincerely hope that you will listen to the voices of Haringey residents who care passionately about the cultural resources available to this area. If this bookshop disappears from Wood Green High Street it will leave a hugely damaging cultural void in its wake. We do not want to live in an endless parade of mobile phone shops and cheap clothing stores. Waterstones has provided a much-needed oasis in a literary desert. Please either reconsider your plans or open another branch in this area. Wood Green needs bookshops not more clothes shops!

    • NEVER NEVER close down a book shop, especially when there isn't another in the area. Kids need books, adults need books.

    • It was a lovely Ottakers, it would be a shame if the merger meant Waterstones now closed it.

    • This is a much valued and highly successful bookshop which enhances the quality of life for all residents and shoppers in the Wood Green area .It also maintains the excellent reputation of Waterstones as an indispensible bookseller wherever they set up business. Its loss would represent an enormous blow to the area. I urge the company to rethink their decision to close if at all possible.

    • You buy up Ottaker's and close it down. I'll not shop at Waterstone's for a while!

    • Ottaker's were good and Waterstone's were ok but why do shops close down so quickly? But I don't care who takes over I want this bookshop to stay.

    • I'm shocked this is happening. We need this bookshop. Our children love browsing in the children's book section and regularly ask us to buy them books from there. What a loss this will be for both children and adults! Please reconsider.

    • Think again. You are going to close down the only good bookshop in the area. Wood Green needs this bookshop. You will be taking away the only place people can read a book and relax. Please think again.
