Independent Bookstore Directory
Find an independent bookshop.
Independently owned bookshops across the United States, one row per shop, with where it is, how to telephone it, and a link to its own website. Most were found through their regional booksellers association's own public member directory, and each listing shows the day we last checked it. A listing isn't a recommendation.

No JavaScript? Type a town, a state, or a postal code and the list is ordered by distance from it.
Search for a town, or narrow the list, and the shops that match appear on a map here.
Every shop here is independently owned. A listing isn't a recommendation and nobody pays to appear. We publish the shop's own address, telephone number and website, and never a bookseller's personal email address.
Some shops show more than others. Where a shop's regional booksellers association publishes a fuller profile of it, we show what that profile says: who works there, what the shop is for, and its own description, with a link to the profile itself.
Many of these shops were found through their regional booksellers association's own public member directory. We follow what each association publishes: where an association does not publish its members' email addresses, we do not publish one either, whatever we hold.
Basic listings are free and always will be. Being listed is not a recommendation, and nobody pays to appear.
