Gay and lesbian literature has come a long way from its early years as trashy little paperback novels but this collection of pulp fiction will remind you how far that really is. This hefty anthology pays homage to the past and you will find yourself lingering over the pages, laughing at the over sexed descriptions and wanting to head online to find these out of print supermarket treats. This collection is good for the old school lesbians as a sort of blast to the past but also a great fit for us youngsters that need a little lesson on our history. Either way the book is a brilliant collection put together by Katherine V. Forrest with a little historical context in the foreword. Skip lesbian literature 101 and pick up this volume today and if you're not sure the cover gives a good idea of what you're in for!
