Such a lovely place! A bit hard to find, but amazing once you get there. Reminds me of Hares & Hyenas in Melbourne. Support your local queer bookshop, folks!

Beautiful place, so cute. Full of gay themes books. From art to history. The employee was very helpful and friendly providing reading material about its location and the art exposition that was been exposed. Besides selling an extended variety of books they sell art pieces as well. Great place to look for a great new book or art piece. Totally recommend it, lovely place.Got a Tom of Finland book today and I love it. Keep up the good job guys.

I love this place! Please go an support this small business. I always find something new that I buy and the volunteers are so kind. Their art exhibits/installations are amazing too! Theyre always changing, so youll find something new.

I attended an event for a book that I wasnt aware of beforehand, but that was alright. This is biased, since I cant resist some good gossip(included in the presentation), but they had a really strong speaker partner with them to deliver the talk. I wont get into the politics, but when attending an talk you can expect the live version of those think piece articles you see when you open a new tab on firefox or microsoft edge. Or a TED talk or something similar.

I love this place! It is one of the few remaining LGBTQIAPlus bookstores in the United States, and an independent bookseller, to boot. The volunteers are friendly, professional, helpful, and are genuinely enthusiastic about what they do. Also, there are so many literary events that take place there, that offer so many options for those of us who love LGBTQIAPlus literature. I cannot wait to return.

An extremely important place with great selection of fiction, non-fiction and art books. Cute postcards. If youre queer and visiting, you have to support the locals. 🏳️‍🌈
