The Bookish Type - LGBT Bookshop, Leeds

Hello, we're The Bookish Type - a queer indie bookshop.

Our shop is at 77a Great George Street, Leeds where we sell a range of queer literature including novels, children’s books, YA, memoirs, non-fiction, poetry and graphic novels. We champion LGBTIQA+ authors and books with queer themes or characters because we know the importance of representation and we want to celebrate all the amazing queer books in publication.
