The launch of electronic Book Tokens has been delayed once again.
The Booksellers Association has postponed the launch of its electronic National Book Tokens gift card until next year, citing "an ongoing regulatory issue" caused by a third party as the cause.
The launch date has been pushed back several times, having initially been scheduled for launch in 2006 or 2007. At its 2008 a.g.m, the BA said the gift card scheme would come on stream in early 2009, and a pilot has been running since June which, in August, was described as "going very well".
We will therefore be continuing to issue the traditional paper book vouchers until further notice, with all orders £100 and over weekdays, being sent free for next day delivery (UK only).

MAGPIE NEST BRIDLINGTON REVIEWS
My friends and myself enjoyed a fabulous weekend to celebrate the 60th birthday.
Your accommodation is superb and we were thoroughly impressed with your decor.
The 'extras' which you kindly provided gave the feel of a 5 star hotel with a comfy and relaxed home from home atmosphere.
We would have no hesitation in contacting you again when we next visit your part of the country and we are already singing your praises and 'putting the word about' to others.
With kind regards,
Cynthia.
We'd all like to thank you for making us feel special in your luxurious and elegant apartment.
Your website shows the rooms off well but the reality is so much better - we were well impressed.
We were lucky enough to have brilliant sunshine and feel refreshed and relaxed after our holiday.
Our happy memories will make us smile on gloomy days.
Thank you.
Best wishes,
Sue & Robin,
Steve, Hannah and Phoebe.
I just had to write to say what a beautifully stylish, well appointed and very comfortable apartment the Magpie Nest is.
We were all very impressed and said we could happily stay for much longer than just our weekend. We could certainly recommend this accommodation to anyone.
Thank you for your warm and friendly welcome.
Best wishes for your future enterprise,
Regards,
Sylvia.
Just to say thank you for allowing us to stay in your beautiful apartment. Although the weather was terrible it was a pleasure being able to return to comfortable and warm accommodation. Our every need was catered for and we would like to compliment you on your great taste in decor and soft furnishings, in fact I bought the same bedding whilst we were there. We visit Bridlington two or three times a year and look forward to staying at Magpie's Nest in the future.
Kind Regards,
Valerie and Barry.

Waterstones Still Performs Poor
In its latest set of financial results, Waterstones reported that in the year to 25th April 2009, both total and like-for-like sales fell by 3.8%, with full-year sales now likely to be about £543m, compared with £564.3m a year earlier.
In the 16 weeks to 25th April total sales at the book retailer fell by 3.4% and by 4.5% on a like-for-like basis. The trend therefore continues.
One customer reports today:
I have just been into my local branch of Waterstones in Colchester High Street. There was one member of staff serving on the two floors. The were 5 people waiting in a line with purchases. One gave up and put a book back on the shelf. There was no other member of staff anywhere to be seen. I was there to drop in a DVD sample we have made with a view to selling it in. I walked all round the store to see if other staff members were there. None to be found. After about 10 minutes another staff member came to the sales desk. If this is what Waterstone's have / are coming to then the company has a shortened shelf life.
