I was in a Borders just yesterday, and the only 2+2 book I saw was TOP. Maybe this is unrepresentative, but it was a decent sized one. FWIW, I have seen copies of it there before, so I don't think it has improved particularly drastically yet. I have also never seen a 2+2 book in Waterstones (the other big book chain).

I'm a regular in all 3 bookshops in my town, Waterstones, WHsmiths and a small independent. I've yet to see a 2+2 book in any of them. I use amazon.co.uk when I need a fix of 2+2

The only place I've ever been able to get 2+2 books is in the highstakes bookshop. Don't even know where there is a borders near Manchester. I know of 3 local waterstones, and have never seen a 2+2 book. Would be great if waterstones started to carry them.

Whatever about England I can tell you they are far more readily available in Dublin, Ireland now as one of the main book shops here has started stocking 2+2 titles (as well as titles from other publishers, Cardoza etc.).

I'll go and count the 2+2 books in my local Borders on Monday if you can give me a creative title which I like. (EDIT: Instead of Carpal Tunnel I mean.)

Hi John
I've bought at least 3 or 4 2+2 titles in the Waterstones on Deansgate in Manchester. They usually have a pretty good selection of other titles as well.

Excellent. It must have changed since I last looked. Maybe it's been longer than I thought. Thanks for the info.

Isnt Borders more a southern bookstore, I thikn Waterstones is the one to try and get into for more national coverage, most of their stores have poker books but have never seen any 2+2 there.

The UK is overflowing with poker at the moment there are two poker channels which are selling books like supersystem etc that could be another way of getting into the market doing somthing with them.
