Frankeştayn Bookstore

Frankestayn Bookstore is an independent bookstore set up in May 2022, in Beyoğlu, right in the heart of Istanbul. Our selection includes books from Turkish and world literature with a focus on queer-feminist fiction and non-fiction titles. Frankestayn also sells books in art history and humanities both in Turkish and in English languages.
