Lighthouse - Edinburgh's Radical Bookshop
We are an independent community bookshop on the radical left, politically engaged and socially conscious. We celebrate diversity of thought and expression, championing voices from the margins. We house 10,000 titles across politics, poetry, history and fiction, as well as children's books and feminist, environmental, anti-racist & LGBTQ+ writing.
Open 7 days a week in Edinburgh’s Southside, with a year round event program.
