can catch up on world news and porn at the same time yet this bookstore created a double-sided shop that lets customers choose between anything sexual or intellectual. Circle of Books is also one of the few places around L.A. with a huge selection of items that cater to gay and transgender communities.
MAGAZINES & BOOKS
Unlike typical newsstands, newspapers and magazines highlighting gay issues sit
on the same shelves as the Los Angeles Times, and lesbian literature is also available.
Books of general interest fill the shop, but dont be surprised when you
stumble across topics like spanking or being a dominatrix.
VIDEOS & DVDS
When its time to take a break from reading, rent a movie or buy one for
your home collection. Gay, lesbian, transsexual or heterosexual, fantasies on
film are a hot commodity at Circus of Books.
TOYS & ACCESSORIES
Books arent the only things for sale. Lubricants, condoms and kinky toys
to add a little spice to your life are always in stock along with novelty items,
jewelry, smoking accessories, snacks and drinks.
IN-STORE ENTERTAINMENT
Sorry Silverlake fans, but West Hollywood is the only location hosting the Circus
of Books Gallery. This special event honors the community by opening the door
for performances, book readings and exhibits featuring the works of local, breakthrough
artists.
Hours: Both locations are open seven days a week, 365 days a year from 6 a.m.-2 a.m. For more information, visit www.circusofbooks.com.
