Lighthouse - Edinburgh’s Radical Bookshop

Scotland's leading political bookshop. No longer operating on X as owned by a fascist. Find us elsewhere @lighthousebks.bsky.social

[Lighthouse - Edinburgh’s Radical Bookshop @Lighthousebks]

This platform is owned by a fascist and run by Nazi apologists. We’re out.

Find us in the other places, find us in the real world.

Edinburgh's Radical Book Fair, hosted by @Lighthousebks returns to @AssemblyRoxy 5-9th November, just over 2 weeks away.

It's a phenomenal 4 days of events & stalls, worth an Edinburgh weekend if you're not local, or it is all hybrid!

Speaking of all things good and gay, we have a *truly* phenomenal line up of queer writers coming through!
