This article is from the rec.arts.sf.written FAQ, by Evelyn C. Leeper evelynleeper@geocities.com with numerous contributions by others.
Evelyn C. Leeper (evelynleeper@geocities.com) maintains several lists of
bookstores in various North American, European, African, and Asian
cities at http://www.geocities.com/evelynleeper/bookshop.htm. These
lists are *not* SF specific, but extensive commentary makes it pretty
easy to sort those stores out from the rest. Stores that are known
to ship worldwide by mail are so noted.
There are also always amazon.com, borders.com, and barnesandnoble.com.
http://www.bookshop.co.uk, http://www.amazon.co.uk,
http://www.amazon.de, http://www.indigo.ca, and
http://www.bookworm.com.au are possibilities for British, German,
Canadian, and Australian books.
For used books, try:

http://www.bookfinder.com/
http://www.abebooks.com/
http://www.alibris.com/
http://www.powells.com/
Powells is both new and used. It also turns up in several of the multi-
dealer searches listed above.
And in answer to a specific frequently asked question: There is no SF
specialty bookstore in New York City.
