The Lesbian In Literature, Third Edition by Barbara Grier
Although by no means comprehensive, this is a great resource for those interested in lesbian fiction published prior to 1980 (especially if you're interested in lesbian pulps). Each title is rated by content (A [major lesbian character(s)], B [minor lesbian character(s)], C [apparently latent lesbian character(s)], or T [trash]) and quality (one through three asterisks, which more being better). If you're interested in collecting lesbian pulps, this catalogue is still very relevant to your show more interests. show less
