City Lights isn't so much 'stocked' as 'curated'. For its size this has to be the best independent bookshop in the world. When you're finished buying go next door to Vesuvio and get drunk.
In a city full of fantastic independent bookstores, this one has the most character. Also, in some kind of superhuman feat, the staff almost always have read everything in stock.
Our neighborhood bookstore has a great selection, friendly staff and a lovely cafe.

Now open in its gorgeous new location. Singapore's best and quirkiest literary bookshop.
One of my favourite independent bookshops - jampacked with specialist books and all current fiction, great cards, specialist magazines, Tasmania info. Knowledgable+helpful.
Third floor is a great haunt for secondhand and out-of-print non-fiction (esp. Australian politics). Books priced on condition rather than estimated market value, so lots of collectables for cheap.
A lovely little place with the big names in authorship covered. A very small sci-fi section. Generally, only go for fairly common authors of fiction, but also for a broad range of non-fiction.
