✨️NEW GRILLES!!✨️ We are delighted that we now have extra security at the bookshop, having had a couple of break-ins at the end of 2024 The grilles are an expense we couldn't afford and would not have managed without the help of our wonderful community - THANK YOU 💜 LONG LIVE QUEER BOOKSHOPS! 🌈📚

Does anyone in Leeds have recommendations for a company that fits window grilles/shutters? We've been quoted £5000 for our little bookshop! 😮

Sorry to say we're closed today (Tuesday) 😔 Someone has bricked our window, robbed the cash drawer and, bizarrely, the Bluetooth speaker 🎶 All the books are safe! Turns out robbers dont read. If you wanna help out this struggling queer bookshop our website is still open Merry bloody Christmas 😥
