Reviews
"Amazing queer bookstore. I had to hold myself back from buying the whole store. Brilliant service, amazing selection, highly recommend."
"Very welcoming place from the entrance. The address was easy to locate on the building and upon entry the receptionist greeted with a warm smile. Well lit, the spacious community area gave way to private nooks to carry out private conversations and manage private business. The elevators made the building accessible as well as multiple restrooms for all. Excellent place to learn and entertain."
"Such a unique and much needed space for the Queer community in NYC! This is probably one of the best LGBT bookstores in the city. The owner is very kind and friendly and the bookstore is actually inside the LGBT Center on the second floor"
"UPDATE: SUNDAY, JUNE 4, 2023, 3:32PM: The Bureau of General Services--Queer Division, or "The Bureau," for short, is one the few LGBTQIAPlus bookstores in the United States. There used to be so many more. I LOVE going, for book reading/signing events, art exhibitions, and this weekend for the NYC Queer Comic Fair. The co-owners and all the volunteers have great energy, and are very friendly and approachable regarding obtaining information about books, zines and other Queer literature. I love this place! It is one of the few remaining LGBTQIAPlus bookstores in the United States, and an independent bookseller, to boot. The volunteers are friendly, professional, helpful, and are genuinely enthusiastic about what they do. Also, there are so many literary events that take place there, that offer so many options for those of us who love LGBTQIAPlus literature. I cannot wait to return."
"Beautiful place, so cute. Full of gay themes books. From art to history. The employee was very helpful and friendly providing reading material about it's location and the art exposition that was been exposed. Besides selling an extended variety of books they sell art pieces as well. Great place to look for a great new book or art piece. Totally recommend it, lovely place. Got a Tom of Finland book today and I love it. Keep up the good job guys."
