Category Is Books : Independent Queer Bookshop

Category Is Books is an independent queer, LGBTQIA+ bookshop in the southside of Glasgow, run by T4T couple, Bug and Fin. We hope the bookshop is a space to learn about, be inspired by and share in our love of queer books, writing, histories and storytelling. Read Queer Books! 

 

The lists on here are just a small selection of what we stock at the shop, so to access our full range of books, magazines, comics, zines, subscriptions and badges/patches then we recommend that you order with us directly via email, or come to visit the bookshop. 📚
