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. 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.
