I thought the law had been changed to stop this, but even if it

hasn't, there is a clear attempt to use your trademarks ie

Waterstones, or prevent you using them. I would suggest consulting a

trademark lawyer, who could send a terrifying legal letter

threatening all sorts of legal actions. The threat of court action is

usually enough to stop people doing things like this.
