The bookstores on the list are from all over pop culture. The list is limited to bookstores that are truly fictions, so the Travel Book Shop from Notting Hill or 84 Charing Cross Road (now defunct) are not on the list.

Based on the real-life San Francisco book shop The Argonaut, the Argosy is everything one could want in a fictional bookstore — rich, dark wood, glass cases, tchotchkes, cluttered shelves, and a proprietor who knows the scoop on the McKittrick Hotel and what happened to Carlotta.

Where's the bookstore in the film of The Big Sleep where Bogie shared a bottle of rye (and we suspect much else) with Dorothy Malone on a rainy afternoon?

It might not count as a bookstore, but the crypt called The Cemetery of Forgotten Books, in Carlos Ruiz Zafon's The Shadow of the Wind, is one place I'd love to visit. Plus, it's in Spain!
They are wonderful choices. I also liked the bookstore from Notting Hill. The scenes from that movie were hilarious.
