The smallest island bookshop and the Nation’s largest bookshop will join forces to launch Terry Pratchett’s new novel, NATION, at special events to be held on Saturday 13th September!

Nation is set on a small desert island and challenges the way we think about cultural identity, nationhood and the history of civilisation. To reflect the book’s setting and story, Random House Children’s Books plans to hold the biggest and smallest bookshop signings with the Hayling Island Bookshop (smallest) and Waterstone’s Piccadilly (biggest).

At just over 3 metres2, the Hayling Island bookshop is the smallest island bookshop with enough space to hold only one copy of each book it stocks. In contrast, Waterstone’s Piccadilly is set over 7 floors with 5000 metres2 of shop space, making it the biggest bookshop in Europe. It is at these two very different venues that fans will gather for the chance to meet Terry Pratchett and get a copy of Nation signed.

On Saturday 13th September, Terry Pratchett will be signing at the Hayling Island Bookshop at 9am and at Waterstone’s Piccadilly at 2pm.
