Rad books for rad folke!

We are a radical, independent, LGBTQ+ bookshop on the Kent coast.

About us

We are three friends who are passionate about books, community, and inclusivity. We are a small team so anytime you pop into the shop, you’ll usually see one of us.

Testimonies from our community

  • "A truly delightful and inclusive space. A range of books both children's and adults, new and second hand. A great focus on inclusion including LGBT+ focus. This is how a bookshop should be one that opens minds and possibility, friendly, cosy, a joy. Great staff too."
