Where to buy new book releases

However, High Street retailers, independent book shops and online stores are all geared up to make sure that you don’t miss out on the most recent riveting reads. If you want to obtain the latest Dan Brown or Hilary Mantel, this article is a must-read as it describes where to buy new book releases.

High Street stores and supermarkets

The main High Street book stores, such as WH Smith and Waterstone’s, will stock the latest releases as soon as they are published. Larger branches will obviously offer more choices if your reading requirements run to the less well-known authors. However, all book stores will have a list of upcoming titles and you can pre-order your preference. The main supermarkets usually have book sections in their larger stores. They often stock popular new releases at discounted prices, but do not expect anything more than mainstream fiction and famous autobiographies.
