Books - Circus Of Books

Since 1960, Circus of Books has been a place where gay men can find books about themselves and we carry on that history with this lovingly curated and ever-expanding selection of rare, out-of-print and collectible books.

We continue to expand our selection and feature voices and talent from a broader and more diverse spectrum of the LGBTQ+ community. We encourage new authors and artists to reach out to us to be featured in our Gallery, have book launches hosted at our location and their works added to our library.

Book Circus opened in 1960 and with the very cruisy Vaseline Alley behind the store quickly became the epicenter of the gay community at that time. In 1980 and through the AIDS crises it became the iconic Circus of Books, WeHo's version of Stonewall. In 2020 it has been reimagined and reopened with the addition of Circus of Books West. Both Stores also feature The Gallery @ Circus, an upscale gallery representing LGBTQ+ artists.
