Thanks for bringing this wonderful store to the attention of your fans Alison I bought my first autographed DTWOF book there many, many, years ago. I always stop in when I go back to visit in Chicago.

Gay’s the Word, in London (UK) is also struggling. Alison did a signing there last time she was in the UK, I believe. It’s a lovely shop – it’s been open since 1979, but it’s still very clued up and vibrant.

They have a ‘sponsor a shelf’ scheme – 100 quid is probably beyond most people’s grasp. But if anyone wants to bung them some cash and tell them it’s from a ‘Dykes to Watch Out For’ enthusiast, if we reach 70 quid I’ll top it up to 100 so we can claim the shelf of comics.

Sorry Pam and Jane, Silver Moon in Foyles has closed down – not sure how long ago.

I work at Women and Children First and am in charge of doing online orders, I just wanted to say thank you to everybody for supporting us. There has been a ton of online orders over the last few days and it really means a lot to know that we have so much support coming from all over the country and we are so happy to be able to provide everybody with such great books! It’s because of you that women’s voices continue to be heard, thanks y’all!

Jaibe, I love the Seminary Co-Op! It’s one of the best bookstores I’ve ever been to (though of course I won’t compare it to Powell’s in Portland). Chicago has a ton of wonderful independent and used bookstores. In addition to Women and Kids & SC, there’s Quimby’s, Shake Rattle and Read, The 57th St. Bookstore, Powell’s, a store called “Books” in lakeview, and that’s just getting started. Every one of them is vital and I’m sure appreciates your business!

Larry-bob,

I’m embarrassed to say that I was such a babe in the woods when I moved to the Twin Cities that I thought at first that it was a bookstore connected to a monastery in some way. Maybe because I’d just spent the previous four years in St. Joseph and Collegeville…

Deena, A Brother’s Touch moved down to Hennepin and 26th or so and then closed a few years ago.
