WH Smith are one of the best known high street shops in the UK. With hundreds of stores selling more books, newspapers, magazines and stationery than any other retailer, their popularity is undeniable. By extending their business to the internet, sales are being boosted by offering the same exceptional service online where many items are heavily discounted. When you visit their website www.whsmith.co.uk you will find a superb choice of the latest books, magazines, stationery, gifts, cards, talking books, CDs, DVDs, videos, computer games, software, computer accessories and many more popular and interesting items.

The site provides two ways to search for a specific product. 1) by using the 'Quick Search' option which can be found at the top of every page, or 2) The 'Advanced Search' which can be accessed by simply selecting one of the drop-down options from the quick search menu which will bring up the advanced search box. The advanced search will enable you to search for products using more specific criteria. For example, you can search for books specifically by Author, Title, Publisher, or ISBN number.

As one of the UK's largest High Street chains, there's almost certainly a WHSmith shop near you. So if you prefer to visit one of their shops in person, but you're not sure where the nearest branch is, you can use their store locator on their website. Simply click the 'our stores' link at the bottom of each page.

Personal recommendation WH Smith is one of my favourite stores. If I want to buy a magazine they are the first place I visit because their choice is unbeatable. Whenever I visit any major shopping centre, they are one of my first ports of call. I love to browse through the magazines and books while my wife spends her time in nearby shops. Long live WH Smith!
