Bookstores For Us


Our Favorite Bookstores | LGBT Friendly Stores


The bookstores listed below are ones that have responded to a survey I am sending out to every LGBT and every independent brick and mortar bookstore I can find listed on the Internet. The stores listed under “Indies” have all indicated they are LGBT friendly and if they do not have the book you are looking for, they will be glad to special order it (some with qualifications – you’ll need to check with the store itself).

Any store listed with a beside it has specifically identified as an LGBT store.

I’ve spent the time to compile this list because I think it is extremely important to:
A) give our hard earned dollars to the stores that support us, especially the stores that specifically identify as LGBT, and
B) keep our dollars in our local communities as much as possible.

I found the following about shopping local and would like to share it here:


Why shop Local?
When you shop at an independently owned business, your entire community benefits:
1. Spend $100 at a local shop and $68 of that stays in your community. Spend the same $100 at a national chain, and your community only sees $43.
2. Local businesses create higher-paying jobs for our neighbors.
3. More of your taxes are reinvested in your community--where they belong.
4. Buying local means less packaging, less transportation, and a smaller carbon footprint.
5. Shopping in a local business district means less infrastructure, less maintenance, and more money to beautify your community.
6. Local retailers are your friends and neighbors—support them and they’ll support you.
7. Local businesses donate to charities at more than twice the rate of national chains.
8. More independents means more choice, more diversity, and a truly unique community.


If there is not an LGBT or LGBT-friendly bookstore in your area or you decide to shop on the internet for whatever reason, I again ask you to spend your money at the companies that support us. Amazon.com does not even though they carry many of the LGBT titles you may be searching for. Please go directly to the publisher of the book you are looking for to see if you can purchase it from them.

This list is FAR from complete or exhaustive. In fact, once I have contacted as many stores as I possibly can and have all of the stores willing to be listed here, this list won’t be complete. With the economy in flux the way it is and with more and more people shopping online rather than within their community, stores either close or change their focus. I will be trying to stay in constant contact with the stores so I can keep this list as up-to-date as possible. It is a good idea to always call ahead and be sure the store you are choosing is still open, especially if you are going to be traveling any distance to get there.

Those stores marked (Favorite!) are stores listed as Our Favorite Bookstores.

Our Favorite Bookstores

Gail
I've been buying books at Bookwoman since the early eighties when I first discovered it. Susan has gone to incredible lengths to keep this treasure open and it is the only one left in Texas. Bookwoman is a gathering place for all women and has been a staunch supporter of the lesbian community since its inception. Even with the gift of an e-reader for Christmas, this bookstore will continue to get most of my book buying money. Bookwoman is a very special place. Bookwoman

I don't have a favorite independent book store in my area. I found this one on the 'books for us' link. I plan on checking it out next time I am in OKC.

Ruta and staff have gone the extra mile to have her store stocked with the most interesting reading materials. She and her staff are well read and informed and make very good at suggestions as to what to read. I've found books and authors previously unknown and that are now treasures. Ruta holds many events in her store and is a very involved person.

Chicago, IL
Because they are owned by two female entrepreneurs who have struggled to keep the store open during the tough times and have managed to succeed. It is just big enough to have a good selection without being a box store.

Barb
Gosh, I'd have to say that when I first started to realize what was happening in my life and looking for information, it was suggested that I visit Women and Children First. It's a very warm and friendly neighborhood bookstore. The employees are all very considerate and helpful. You can easily ask a question and know they will be as helpful as possible and even go out of there way if need be. This was the first place I started to buy Lesbian novels and it is still the best place around with a wonderful selection of Lesbian and Gay as well as social issues. Besides those areas, they have a wonderful children section as well as a good size area of various categories of books. Besides all this, they are very much in the forefront of gay advocacy and other important issues. Every month they have special programs and book clubs for women and kids. It really is a neat place and I think if you were to visit Chicago, you'd enjoy a visit there as well.

These indie bookstore owners, who carry a lot of mainstream mysteries and thrillers, also goes out of their way to find and feature GLBT works of crime fiction. They're knowledgeable about what's out there, and they are excellent resources for their gay and lesbian shoppers, always supportive, always helpful. They'll also order books if they don't have them in the store. They are generous and welcoming to GLBT mystery writers as well, and they're just so open, welcoming, and kind that they deserve praise and accolades. www.onceuponacrimebooks.com is their website.

Let me count the ways...
-The people at Antigone always order books I want if they don't have them. They don't act like it's a problem. And they call me and tell me that they're in.
-They have many different book groups and readings.
-They have a childrens section and they have toys in it for kids to play with while mom's or dad's look around.
-They email discounts and promotions like giving 10% off if you say "Happy International Women's Day" (On International Women's Day)
-They have cool gifts other than books.
-They ask readers for book recommendations and show readers and store employee's picks with little tags.

Gulf of Maine Books
Brunswick, ME
I like this store because they have a wide variety of books. Lots of books about Maine, a huge poetry and glbt section. It is also only about 30 miles from my house.
There is a Mr. Paperback in my home town, and I go there sometimes too, as they also have a lgbt section and I can grab a cup of coffee there. Gulf of Maine Books does not have a cafe, but there are some nice little cafe's within walking distance in the area.

Debby
Giovanni's Room is great! The store is small enough to have that comfortable, cozy, personal feel, but large enough to carry all the latest LGBT books. If there is a book you want that they don't have in stock, they will go to all lengths to get it for you.
Since I am no longer a Philly resident, I shop Giovanni's Room on-line. Skip and Ed are so helpful and gracious. If there is ever a problem or question about my order, they contact me immediately via e-mail or by phone. Even in this day and age of electronic impersonal communication, the folks at Giovanni's Room know what excellent customer service is and how to provide it!
They're tops in my book! :-)

Mystic, CT
The ONLY LGBT friendly bookstore in Connecticut is Bank Square Books in Mystic, Connecticut.  I am glad you had that list, Glenda.  Now I know there are 3 in Massachusetts so if I ever get the time and wanderlust to go traveling, I know where to find an independent bookseller. I would certainly make it a point to stop by when I am in the area.

Although I'm not the owner and have nothing at stake, I take any opportunity available to promote Pride & Joy.  I have had nothing but positive experiences there.  The staff has always gone above and beyond to assist customers.  The store has been around since the early 90s and, as far as I know, is the only LGBT bookstore in the area.
Pride & Joy does carry books - the front quarter of the store is books and there's a magazine rack in the rear. There's a children's section and a selection for tweens/teens.  There are used books, which is a great way to discover "new" authors.  The turnover in titles is decent.  But they also carry DVDs, CDs, T-shirts, gifts, jewelry, souvenirs, stickers and trinkets.  You can also get information and/or tickets for community events.
I mostly deal with two of the three owners when I visit.  Melissa and Kelly are awesome.  If they're not stocking something I want, they'll order it from their suppliers.  If their suppliers can't provide it, they'll move heaven and earth to get it, including contacting the author.  They've also been right on the money with authors they've suggested I might like.
One of the perks is that this shop is located in downtown Northampton, which is a vibrant, thriving community filled with fantastic restaurants, art exhibits, theaters, small retailers and one-of a-kind shops.  There are usually musicians busking on the sidewalks.  Let’s not forget the guilty pleasures of having a smoosh-in at Herrell’s Ice Cream.  A visit to Pride & Joy can easily be turned into a day out.
If you're looking for something more mainstream, Odyssey Books is not that far, they’re located in South Hadley.  They’re probably more in line with what people tend to think of when they think independent bookseller.  But if used or rare books are more your thing, Sage Books and Heritage Books are almost across the street from each other in Southampton.  Sage is a century old house with 11 rooms of bookshelves and seating (as well as a couple of cats), while Heritage is in the old town library.  You can walk away with a couple of huge bags filled to the brim with bargains at either (or both) of those locations.
All these stores do have websites and sell online as well:

Joseph-Beth Booksellers
South Side Works, Pittsburgh, PA
There is always a lot going on there.  They have book clubs, including one for a cookbook potluck where we try out different cookbooks before buying them.  They have authors in for readings, discussions, and signings.  Every week they have 3 children's story times.  The employees put the customers first.  They will help you to find what you want, including special ordering anything not in stock.  Their children's section is fantastic.  It includes books, educational materials, toys, parenting books, gift items, etc.  A great bookstore.  I practically live there.

Now Voyager is my favorite place to shop for lesbian fiction.
Mark, the owner, is a low key guy but he is always friendly and helpful.
My partner and I get to Provincetown 3 or 4 times a year. Mark always remembers us and greets us warmly. We feel like old friends.
Now Voyager is also very welcoming of visiting authors. Mark hosts many book signings each year, including several each year during Women's Week.

Barnes and Noble Carrollwood
Tampa, FL
Sorry, but there are no independent bookstores I call worthy in Tampa. Barnes and Noble Carrollwood isn't your ordinary B&N. Nancy Barbara is an exceptional customer relations manager, making her store extra available to host the "little authors" with as much enthusiasm as she does the big guys. And she makes it a point to include as many lesbian authors in her store for book signings as well as stocking the books on the shelves. She is one of "us." With a no-nonsense but gentle touch with readers and authors, Nancy Barbara and Barnes and Noble Carrollwood make author and reader alike, feel at home and that they are special. They are the independent bookstore of choice for me. The fact that her store is part of a book chain, is besides the point.

Antigone Books is a local bookstore along the "funky" shopping district known as 4th Avenue in Tucson.  The book store is owned by women, is very LGBT friendly and is just a great place to browse!  The book store hosts several book clubs, hosts author events, has trivia contests, has an eclectic mix of books, journals, green products, some music, and fun stuff.  One entire window is covered with posters and flyers of local events.  The store has been around forever and they have many loyal customers.  The staff is friendly and often write brief narratives on bookmarks and place them inside books so browsers can get a personal glimpse about what is so special about that particular book.  They do go out of their way to order books that are not in stock.  If I happen to be in another book store and see a book that is of interest, I always go to Antigone next and either ask them to order the book for me or I will place an order through their website.  http://antigonebooks.com/
I am currently unemployed, so I don't go there quite as often as I would like, because I may go into Antigone empty handed, but find it hard to leave the same way!

Drew, the owner of Storytellers, is one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet. He has made his store a place to meet and to curl up with a good book. He offers book clubs space to meet, hosts readings on a regular basis, and encourages reading in young people.
