(250421) -- LONDON, April 21, 2025 (Xinhua) -- James Daunt, the managing director of Waterstones, speaks during an interview at Waterstones' flagship store in London, Britain, on April 17, 2025. From high-end urban streets to picturesque suburbs, Waterstones stands as one of Britain's most iconic bookstore brands. Yet only a decade ago, it was on the brink of bankruptcy, squeezed by the menacing rise of e-reading. Its revival is largely credited to one man who remains steadfast in his mantra -- placing the right bookstore in the right place.
