GIOVANNI'S ROOM

The oldest gay and lesbian bookstore in Philadelphia (founded in 1973) is certainly the best and most provided. With 7 000 titles on the shelves and more in the database, it's easy to find his happiness to learn more about the history of gay movements in the US or to find new erotic ones. Its comfortable atmosphere, its maps, guides and free advice provided by a staff as competent as pleasant make it an obligatory passage before a visit of the neighborhood. The bookshop often hosts authors for debates or signatures.
