The following list incorporates suggestions and comments from various members of BookMen replying to my recent message. I thought it would be easier to post this than to edit the original compilation.
— The Montgomery County Public Library system often has multiple copies of the books we discuss. You do not have to be a resident of the county or even the state to borrow them; they’re available, free of charge, to anyone in the DMV with a library card via interlibrary loan. Besides the savings, another advantage of going that route is that the more often LGBTQ titles are borrowed, the stronger the case libraries can make for ordering more. 🌈
— ABE Books is mainly known for selling used books, but it also offers new titles. Alas, Amazon owns it.
— Alibris Books
— AllStora (formerly known as ShopQueer) pledges that when you buy any book from them—and not just LGBTQ works—the author will earn double what they receive from other booksellers.
— Barnes and Noble
— Biblio Books
— Bookshop.org now offers e-books.
— EBay
__ Good Reads (also owned by Amazon, alas)
__ Little District Books, a queer-owned Washington, D.C.-based independent bookstore that celebrates LGBTQ+ authors and stories.
— Loyalty Bookstores (in Washington, D.C., and Silver Spring)
— Openlibrary.org
— Philly AIDS Thrift @ Giovanni’s Room (formerly Giovanni’s Room Book Store)
— Politics and Prose
— Thrift Books (proceeds support gay causes in NYC)
— Walmart Books
Of course, there are many independent bookstores around the DMV, as well...
