In the kind of chicanery we see in movies, Waterstones is opening a new bookstore 100m from independent bookshop Argonaut Books in Edinburgh.

Note: I only know what I've written here; if you have questions, please contact Argonaut Books or Waterstones

Argonaut Books @argonautbooks.bsky.social:
We need your help. Waterstones, without any direct communication with us, will be opening their 6th Edinburgh branch less than 100 metres from our front door at the Food of the Walk in Leith. Please read on for more information.

Argonaut Books @argonautbooks.bsky.social:
Please share this as widely as you can, tag your local indies too, and help us get the word out about this news.
We know and appreciate how much help we have had from you over the years, and we're sorry to have to ask you for more.
We're here and we aren't going anywhere.
