Better to go to the WH Smith in Reading Station rather than the one in Broad Street who are a lot more understanding and never banned me.

I was able to pick up a ream of printer paper as well as a nice computer headset (that they did NOT have in PC World!). Prices are good, if you stick to the discounted and buy-one-get-one items. There are also random stacks of book collections, shrink-wrapped for £5. Otherwise, they're the standard list price. The shop is on two floors, with an escalator to go up (nice) and stairs to go down (amusing, in a Las Vegas casino "keep the customers in" way). Plenty of staff who are approachable and happy to not only point you to what you are seeking, but they will go there with you to make sure you can find it.

Found a book we liked about historical sites around Oxford (the whole place is a historical site!), some post cards and the coffee was really good too.

There is even a photo spot marked for you to take it all in on your camera. I love that although it is large and has tons of books, it didn't feel cramped and unorganized. My favorite part of the store was in the back where they had high value books for sale. Thee are one of a kind, super ild editions that are in great condition and there is a whole team to curate and market these books. We got to see them in real life!

Has a variety of items for sale which change, from Books, toys, art materials, stationery, calenders. A good place at Christmas to find cheap stocking fillers and cards.

A good place if you have a child with you and want to buy them something or they want to spend a bit of pocket money, can get something reasonable for not a lot of money.

Unfortunately I find the shop can sometimes be a little dirty and the service not amazing. This experience has been fairly typical of visits into W H Smiths around the country though, so is not anything unique about the Berkhamsted branch. There's not a lot you can buy in W H Smith that you can't get elsewhere, with more choice, but the magazine section is large, which is probably the highlight of the store.
