This place is amazing. Definitely one of the best bookstores I’ve ever been to. They have really good books as well as other informative products for social justice and advocacy, allowing increased access to understanding layers and nuances to everything that we need to learn about within this contemporary society today. They have flags, notebooks, stickers, cards and many more. Next time I visit Madison I will definitely go to A Room of One’s Own again, highly recommend!

Excellent indie bookstore with large selection. If you can't find a book here you weren't looking.

Absolutely beautiful and cozy place! They make you feel seen and right at home and have such an enormous selection of books that I was just incredulous! They have a fair selection of Palestinian books and such wonderfully organized shelves. I'll definitely be back and cannot wait to see what they have when we come back!

genuinely the best bookstore I've made it to. cute look, comfy lighting, community focused, huge selection, and the most widely curated variety of LGBTQ+ focused books and art I've seen. plus on top of that they carry a ton of local art and zines, TTRPG supplies, and trinkets! this is the kind of space i yearn to have in my area

This bookstore is absolutely incredible. The inventory is a beautifully curated selection of diverse representation. The store is full of themed displays, hand written recommendations, and small delights. I loved the zine selection and teared up several times over some of the trans representation. I will absolutely be visiting every year when I come out from California.
