Bookstores: a list

Have any been overlooked? The name of the establishment on Red River where Stubb's is now located doesn't come immediately to mind, and it took a while for the Living Batch to be recalled.
Lavender's
Three Arts
Doubleday
Scribner's
The Living Batch
Scrantom's
Grok Books
Half Price Books
Garner & Smith
Congress Avenue Books
BookWoman
Watson & Co.
Adventures in Time and Space
Europa Books
Bookstop
BookPeople
Domy Books
Resistencia

And here's a little list of  books on the shelves (bookx) as of 2006, not updated since then. Other than some comics, a very few items from used-book sales (e.g., Chambers's Encyclopaedia, 1860, at a quarter a volume, and still smelling fiercely of woodsmoke), childhood books, and gifts along the way, books in this household came from one of the above establishments.
