Scotland's leading political bookshop. No longer operating on X as owned by a fascist. Find us elsewhere @lighthousebks.bsky.social
Edinburgh, Scotland
Joined August 2011
This platform is owned by a fascist and run by Nazi apologists. We’re out. Find us in the other places, find us in the real world.
