Avoid this place if you’re conservative, or even moderate. Books titled “Indie Porn”, “The Trans-Partner Handbook”, “Capitalists Must Starve” stock their shelves. These people are so out of touch and weird. Avoid taking children there as there are books for children called “A kids book about queer mental health”. Places like this push people further right than they want. Avoid avoid avoid. NOTE TO STORE: no need to respond to my comments bc I don’t care what you think. Mental health issues are real

Amazing bookstore that specializes in books by authors who are not CIS white men. This is a great place to get books that tell stories of those who are a lot of times overlooked in society. They also do a lot of fun and informative events. Highly recommend!!

It's been some time that I have visited what used to be a little shop of clothing, jewelry, accessories for women. Now it's the home of Eleanor's Norfolk. Store still has quite a selection , but now of self-professed "radical" things - from books to soaps to beverages. I like it when there are plenty of things that peak your interest and there's plenty of space for you to walk around and explore. Didn't quite understand the "radical" theme or the connection of that word to the merchandise; except for when the store signage explicitly indicates "feminist". Anyway....
