These are some of my favourite things

Advantages: All your book, audio and stationery needs in one store
Disadvantages: Not enough stores exist

In the words of Julie Andrews "these are some of my favourite things" - books, dvd's, stationery. So, naturally, WH Smith's is one of my favourite stores! In this op I am going to specifically concentrate on one store - WH Smih's at Holborn Circus. I v ...

Reading a magazine with out buying anything...the way of Smiths "

Advantages: Good "library" for students to read magazines, some good offers, nice staff
Disadvantages: Over priced, under stocked...in fact complete rip offs at times

WHSmiths, a store here in Britain we've all been in and we all know the simple idea of the store, in which they sell media (magazines, books, DVD's and CD's), stationary, as well as the normal "counter goods" of sweets and drinks. However as it's fair to ...

not just books

Advantages: clean stores, good 3 for 2 deals, sales
Disadvantages: cramped store, not much selection

In my city we have two WH Smiths stores in the city centre. One is in the new style while another is just in the process of being renovated. The store does a good job of catering for all your newspapers and magazines but over the years the business seems ...

WHSmiths more than a book shop

Advantages: Good service, helpful staff, large stock
Disadvantages: ?

In Leeds there's just one branch of WHSmiths in the centre, but there are other branches around the city, like in the White Rose Centre. This isn't exactly my favourite shop in the world, as you can imagine, at my age, stationery and books aren't the most ...
