Wayne
Founder and owner, Wayne Winstone lends both his name and decades of bookselling experience to all three stores. 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.
“I can still remember the excitement of being given an attendence prize as a child, a gift edition of Ivanhoe which set me on the path to my book obsession. Several pairs of trousers later discovering a new book with a gripping narrative never fails to take me back to that initial excitement.”
