Antinous LGBTQ+ Kitapçısı

I ordered a book to be sent abroad and had a great experience. They treated me very well and were very helpful!

Great discovery. A bookstore that transmits a lot of warmth once you enter. An excellent organization of the books, with a generous and very well-organized variety of books on LGTBI themes. Without a doubt, this bookstore should be part of the first three places where you should look for the book you want to read.

They were pushy and rude and we felt unwelcome.

A bookstore with practically LGBT themes, it seems like a lie that the topic is so important, but if you... There are books ranging from more commercial books (like, the whole gay Bible by Gabriel Martin) to more alternative and more marginal books that are the stories that attract me the most... The typical LGBT stories that bore me, I identify much more with the outsiders... Towards the back of the bookstore there are books on photos and cinema and right next to the counter are calendars of French rugby players and firefighters (I saw three different ones!)... Neither the saleswoman nor I are completely clear if they are real or models...but what the heck, Greek Goddesses despite being French... And I really like the owner Joan, too bad he wasn't there, but his sister is. It seems that they also have a reading group every two weeks or so... So if you want queer reading book, whether it's for a broader audience or more specific topics (mine), you'll surely find it here...

A small bookstore with a huge selection, including titles from smaller publishers that are hard to find. The staff are excellent and offer very helpful recommendations. I'll be back regularly.

The other day I went specifically to ask about a book that was only available at this bookstore. I asked about it and browsed through it to see if I liked the writing style (a friend had recommended it). When the shopkeeper saw I wasn't going to buy it, he asked me where I'd put it (in its place). He told me they didn't have any left anywhere, as if it were the last chance to buy it, and asked what I was looking for. I told him I wasn't looking for anything in particular, just something that caught my eye, and he immediately ignored me and went on to something else (I got the feeling he thought I wasn't a potential customer). Even so, I bought a book, the woman who was with him took my money, and when I left, they didn't say anything. I was with a friend who's a sweetheart and never complains, and he confirmed that the man was incredibly rude. I thought he was very rude. I'm part of the LGBTQ+ community, although I don't go around announcing it with badges or t-shirts, and I don't know if he thought I was very straight or what, but the way he treated me really upset me. I wish it was just a bad day, but I don't feel like shopping there again. They need to be more customer-friendly.
