Stunning bookshop, great selection, knowledgeable and friendly staff, always feels welcoming and inclusive. One of my favourite places in Leeds. They also have loads of events on and are building community as well as selling books. Definitely go and visit and support this independent shop :)

Absolutely loved my experience with this independent shop especially the staff member I had was so kind she was and enjoyed talking of course telling them recently I came out as Non Binary and was Transgender before. I loved getting a book for my IRL Non Binary friend for their Christmas present and these pin badges for myself which I would definitely come back again next time to get more badges plus love how it’s so quiet and calm I like. 10/10 experience I would always support Indie and as a LGBTQ person myself I am I recommend going if you’re a ally or LGBTQ. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
