Gay's The Word review 1 Users say 4/5 Rate it
Britain's only dedicated gay and lesbian bookshop - established in 1979 - has bounced back from the downer that was 2007, when it almost closed due to rising rents in its Bloomsbury locale. Stock covers fiction, history and biography, as well as more specialist holdings in queer studies, sex and relationships, children and parenting. In addition to regular book-signings and author readings there are weekly lesbian discussion groups on Wednesdays.
