These are (or were at one time) many physical Science Fiction walk-in specialty stores with regular open hours. They are not general bookstores which carry SF nor sf specialty operations by mail or on the internet. They may also carry allied genres such as mysteries, comics, or games.
This list covers stores which describe themselves as specializing in SF (though they may include other genres as well) and which have a physical store. It deliberately excludes mailorder services.
When a date is listed as floreat (fl.) this indicates dates for which we have evidence of the store being open, but not necessarily its actual starting or ending date. Stores currently in operation are boldfaced.
See also Category:Store.
| Store | 1950s— |
| This is an SF bookstore page. When a floreat "fl." is listed it records the dates for which we have evidence and may not be the store's entire span. |
If applicable, please include category Asia, Australia, Canada, Europe, Ireland, NZ, UK, US, ROW or World.
