Writing Cardholder reviews for Waterstone's

If you'd like to let other customers see what you thought about a book, please submit your review on Waterstones.com.

Go to the item you wish to review - you can find this by typing the title or the ISBN of the book in the search box at the top of all pages.

This may bring up a choice of titles - select the one you wish to review.

On the right hand side of the book's jacket image - click on 'write a/your review', and, if necessary, sign in to your Waterstones.com account. You can also post a review by clicking on the 'write a review' box in the customer reviews section on the product page.

Over time, your reviews will be 'badged' with a 'Waterstone's Cardholder' message similar to the Book Circle panellist badge (see image below). Please do not add 'Waterstone's Cardholder' to the end of your review as this is no longer necessary. Book Circle panellists also need no longer add 'Book Circle Panellist' to the end of reviews.

Please note that the page will occasionally time-out if you spend too long writing the review. Copy and pasting from a Word document can play havoc with some characters, so if you have problems with the time-out we suggest writing the review in a Notepad or Wordpad document first, then cut and pasting it to the review page.

Once posted, reviews cannot be edited, so please make sure you are happy with what you are submitting and remember to check for spelling errors.

Your review will be posted shortly after you submit - please note some reviews will be caught by our filter and may take up to 24 hours to appear (longer over the weekend).
