If you want to make a complete list, I say all shops should be included. I have friends that might rave about a shop, but I don't share their enthusiam and may have had a bad experience. There is a fabric store in town that I love. However, a couple of my quilting buddies never say anything nice about them and if they were to respond to this message they would exclude it. I say list them all (for the most concise listing) and let others be their own judge of the shop.
There are shops I probably wouldn't go back because they didn't carry enough of the fabric I like, or they have a very limited inventory. They still should be listed. I love the Quilter's travel book, but it is not complete. That book is only as good as what shops want to advertise. I, as I know you probably have experienced, have found wonderful quilt stores during our travels of shops not listed in the book.
So...my bottom line.... list all the shops for a complete and thorough list. :)
