MITRE Bedford SF Group

SF Stores


Science Fiction is mainstream these days. You can find merchandise relating to Babylon 5, Star Trek, Star Wars, X-Files, etc., in any mainstream book store, record store, toy store, and even computer store. But you can often find it in more abundance (and have more fun!) in specialty shops. The following is supposed to be a list of Boston area specialty shops, mostly comic stores, that carry SF merchandise and memorabilia. Many other interesting addresses are included, including dealers in other cities, and convention companies. Fan club listings have been moved to a separate file. We may further rework or split this list. The data here is not guaranteed to be current. Updates are welcome, to scifi@linus.mitre.org.
