I miss the days when Cambridge (UK) was Heffers, Heffers, and Heffers. The main Heffers on Trinity Street, children's Heffers, Art and Architecture Heffers, Heffers Maps, Heffers Art Goods, Heffers Paperbacks and Videos, Heffers in the Grafton Centre. I've probably missed a few!

At least we still have the oldest site used for bookselling in the world (and perhaps the most interesting bookshop to browse in): https://www.cambridge.org/en/about-us/visit-bookshop

As a student, I used to stock up on books and foreign magazines at that Bertrand in Rua Garret. It was most of the side of small street block, a series of large rooms, each with its topic. Good stuff for youngsters at the back, I had to cross the whole store.
