Introduction

The Bookstore Hall of Fame is my list of great bookstores. They are characterized by a large selection of books in numerous subjects, with a particularly wide range of literature, and independence of spirit. In these stores you will find unusual books that you won't find in most other bookstores, because the staffs of these bookstores go out of their way to find books they know their customers will appreciate

This is a personal list, limited by my tastes and my travel. If you want to recommend a bookstore you think belongs here, see the Bookstore Hall of Fame Nomination Form. I will add nominees to the bottom of the page, but they won't get into the Hall of Fame until I have the chance to verify their worthiness in person. (Hint: That might take years, so be patient.) (Another hint: I've been to Washington and Montreal and haven't found any bookstores I thought Hall of Fame-worthy in those cities. Maybe someone out there could recommend bookstores there that I have visited, and I might reconsider.)
