Win Modern Library titles worth £500
This November, one lucky Cardholder will win a fantastic £500 library just by using their Waterstone's Card.
The Modern Library was founded in 1917 to provide readers with inexpensive reprints of European modernist titles, plus the work of a few contemporary Americans. Today's Modern Library still proudly displays the original torchbearer logo, but everything else is modernised. As well as the usual much loved and some lesser-known fiction titles, the Modern Library list also includes titles within the science, food, exploration, movie, humour and military history genres.
Our prize winner will receive £500 to spend on the Modern Library titles of their choice. With the average price of a Modern Library paperback at £7.99 our winner will be able to select around 60 titles to enhance their home library.
To be in with a chance of winning, simply remember to swipe your Card when you shop in one of our stores, or make sure your Waterstone's Card is linked to your online account when you purchase at Waterstones.com. Every time you shop with us in November using your Waterstone's Card, it will count as an entry into the prize draw. Each transaction counts as a separate entry, so you can increase your chance of winning every time you buy.
