This is a list of bookstore chains with brick-and-mortar locations. In the United Kingdom, they are known as "bookshops" and "newsagents". In American English, they are called "bookstores", or sometimes "newsstands", as they also usually carry newspapers and magazines. In British English, most advertising of books typically uses the phrase "available at all good book shops", while in American English the phrase "available at local bookstores " is usually employed. This list includes both current and defunct businesses, and also includes large independent bookstores that have multiple locations, but that use a different business model than most business chains.

“Every morning I woke in dread, waiting for the day nurse to go on her rounds and announce from the list of names in her hand whether or not I was for shock treatment, the new and fashionable means of quieting people and of making them realize that orders are to be obeyed and floors are to be polished without anyone protesting and faces are to be made to be fixed into smiles and weeping is a crime.”
—Janet Frame (b. 1924)
“My list of things I never pictured myself saying when I pictured myself as a parent has grown over the years.”
—Polly Berrien Berends (20th century)
“I went to the bookstore and God was not there.
Doctor Faustus was baby blue with a Knopf dog
on his spine. He was frayed and threadbare
with needing.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“‘Rise like Lions after slumber
In unvanquishable number,
Shake your chains to earth like dew
Which in sleep had fallen on you—
Ye are many—they are few.”
—Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)
