The future of Waterstones

There was I thinking about a month ago that I had hit the terrestrial jackpot because we were getting repeat orders from Waterstone's, than it all ground to a halt and our stock levels with Gardners Books remained stubbornly the same.

Well, it seems like we are caught up in a groundhog situation as described here. Perhaps when great turmoil is bubbling beneath the surface, stock ordering is put on hold.

If this is the case, it must be hurting an awful lot of publishers. Especially the smaller ones. Hopefully the whole Waterstone's situation will soon be resolved.
