When I was a young teenager, Foyle's in London (near Tottenham Court Road) was an unbelievable sight to me. Apparently at one time it was in the Guinness Book of records as the world's biggest bookshop with its 30 miles of shelf length (by way of comparison, the article says the WBB was 17 miles). I've not been back for ages, only going once since I was a kid and it no longer seemed as magical. It's apparently moved a few doors down the road, so I guess the store is a bit bigger now, but I certainly doubt it's anywhere close to being the world's largest anymore - I've been to several in China that are significantly bigger, e.g. Shenzhen Book City which has multiple branches in the same city and all of them are massive. The flagship one in Futian is basically an entire shopping mall with the bookshop at the centre and a few smaller shops and food stalls around the periphery.
