List of bookstore chains

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 [or booksellers]" 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.
