Gay and Lesbian Bookstores in Canada and the USA - Text Only
================================================
Text Only Version
Updated on Sunday, April 20th, 1997
This Index contains explicitly gay male and lesbian bookstores with
significant feminist and other women's resources. For more
traditional feminist stores please refer to the Feminist Bookstore
Indices referenced above.
Arranged by Province and State, then Area Code
==============================================
This index is in a state of flux and growth. Any errors or ommisions
are entirely my own but represent the best information available to
me at the time and I disclaim any responsibility other than correcting
such errors as they are brought to my attention. I will respond
promptly to any store which contacts me with corrections and will
update their listing at the earliest opportunity. Omission or
inclusion of a store is neither a condemnation nor an endorsement of
any particular store but merely represents the fact I somehow missed
it or that another woman recommended the store, either to me or to
one or more of my research associates, women around the world who are
commited to women's literature and publishing. If you are aware of
any additions, deletions, or other changes that should be made to
this index, please contact me as described at the bottom of this page
and they will be incorporated in the next update.
