Booktrade.info reports that book retailer Waterstone’s will change the way they buy books centrally to allow them to confirm buying decisions three months ahead of publication date. As a result W are creating a buying timetable, including a buying week for each month’s new titles, and moving from six monthly highlights presentations to three times yearly presentations where publishers present the key titles for each major season: Spring, Summer and Autumn/Christmas. So W are cancelling all existing appointments and six monthly highlight presentations from late August onwards and rescheduling according to their new timetable.
