Gibson, Michelle & Deborah Meem: Femme/Butch : New Considerations of the Way We Want to Go
Softcover, Harrington Park Press, Binghamton, NY, 2002 156023301X / 978-1560233015
Very Good+, 0.54 x 8.58 x 6.52 Inches; 198 pages; Signed by Jamie Anderson, a poet contributing to this volume. Very slight edge wear, text clean and unmarked. "This unique collection brings together writing, photography, artwork, and poetry about lesbian butch and femme gender. Femme/Butch: New Considerations of the Way We Want to Go distinguishes itself by celebrating a wide span of intellectual engagement, from reflection to traditional academic work, including both disciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches.In addition to more “serious” writing, lesbian comediennes offer their irreverent takes on femme/butch in this book. Their perspectives are almost never found in academic publications, but what Lea DeLaria, Vickie Shaw, Karen Williams, and other edgy comics have to say about femme/butch sexuality deserves to be heard. You’ll also find that Femme/Butch is essential for the global perspective it brings to lesbian gender. With chapters focused on lesbians in Chinese cultures and on the emerging lesbian community in Bulgaria, this book explores the role of femme/butch identification in cultures without recognizable lesbian institutions." ; Signed by Contributor

Maupin, Armistead: Mary Ann in Autumn : A Tales of the City Novel
Hardcover; First Printing, Harper, New York, NY, 2010 0061470880 / 978-0061470882
Very Good+ in Very Good+ dust jacket, First Edition, 1.4 x 9.1 x 6 Inches; 304 pages; First Edition, First Printing. Minor edge wear to jacket, short pen mark on back of jacket. "In the sure-to-please follow-up to Michael Tolliver Lives, the bestselling Tales of the City reboot, it's been 20 years since series anchor Mary Ann Singleton left her family and headed to New York. Maupin's San Francisco is comforting in its familiarity, and the gang is (mostly) all here, older, wiser, and settled in: Michael "Mouse" Tolliver is married to Ben; Shawna, Mary Ann's estranged daughter, is a popular sex blogger who is dating Otto, an enigmatic professional clown; and grand dame Anna Madrigal, once landlady to Michael and Mary Ann, is still kicking in her late 80s. Into this milieu returns Mary Ann, who ditched her husband and the young Shawna for a career in television. Now, nearing 60, she's back with news she can't bear to tell anyone but Michael. From the haven of his tiny garden cottage, Mary Ann regroups and confronts some uncomfortable chapters in her past. As ever, Maupin's edgy wit energizes the layered story lines. His keen eye for irony and human foible is balanced by an innate compassion in this examination of the life of a woman of a certain age."
