Description

The Face Pressed Against a Window: A Memoir by Tim Waterstone In this poignant and introspective memoir, Tim Waterstone recounts his formative years in rural England at the end of World War II, and the complex relationship he had with his father. These early experiences shaped his entrepreneurial spirit and laid the foundation for the business philosophy that would drive the success of Waterstone's. As he reflects on his journey from a small bookshop to a national chain, Waterstone reveals the epiphany he had while studying at Cambridge, which marked a turning point in his life and career. With candour and insight, he shares the story behind the creative strategy that made Waterstone's a household name. This is a deeply personal and thought-provoking account of one man's journey to success, and the lessons he has learned along the way.
