Wayne

Previously Children’s Books Director of Waterstones and Ottakar’s, Wayne brings passion and professionalism to the Winstone’s family of bookshops. Despite being in the trade for over thirty years, Wayne still gets excited when new books come through the doors.
“Reading for me is like food and drink - a sort of nourishment (but less chewy!). Looking back on what might be my favourite book is a moveable feast. Right now, I would say David Copperfield. The quality of the writing, the semi-biographical story, and Dickens’s humour all make it a masterpiece.”
