Looks like you can still pick up a copy of the Washington Blade.

For some reason I can't post the link though. There page has a list of locations to pick it up. So, you know, just fly over!

Is this the one? http://www.washingtonblade.com/

Haha yeah, all I need to get a gay newspaper is a ticket to the states. Easy peasy

Yes, and there is a "find a copy" link.

Extra and extra west still run in canada.

The pink paper is in the UK.

I'm sure there are a few places in the bigger cities that have the readership for them. I find they have more events listed. Don't forget the dyke magazines like DIVA you can order.

If you have a copy of THIS BRIDGE CALLED MY BACK on your shelf, you'll be doing fine.

GO Magazine is a NYC-based publication and website that has lots of lesbo info.

I traveled around Europe for years with copies of Gaia's Guide. I wish I had the ones I made notes in. "Lesbian Connection"! still exists too. So analogue!

I remember the above as the first travel guide (outside of the one I can't think of).

Sorry to derail the thread so much!

Back to books!

Really, you can just walk into a gay/lesbian bookstore or look online. What are you looking for? Fiction? Non-fiction? Gay/lesbian history? Erotica? How to have lesbian sex (I remember a GF of mine who had never been with a woman before bought such a book before our first date..lol).

Hopefully, people will come in with suggestions.

Thank you thank you thank you to everyone for suggestions! I've looked through them all and have added a few to my amazon wishlist (also how cool is it that several of BFP members have published their own!)

How to have lesbian sex, I need that lol

There are unfortunately no gay bookstores anywhere near where I live but I have tried to look some up at Amazon. I want to get really into queer literature and culture but dont know where to start.
I found one called The Well of Loneliness which is really good so far.
Lesbian history would be really good though. If someone could recommend something like that, especially butch/femme history I would be much obliged.

honeybarbara Oh yeah, der, I have a book too.

There are several places that carry it, but if you order from the original publisher, you can see some reviews, read a sample and pick the platform you want.

https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/168747

I'll show you mine
8 Short Stories spanning 18 years and three countries: coming out as lesbian from bisexual, discovering a "Femme" ID and her desires in a dyke sub-culture sexuality, losing her first long-term relationship, learning about kink, disclosing an abused past to a lover, rediscovering sex after depression and (dyke) divorce, and ending with a dream of new love and sexual adventure.

*shameless self plug*

Looks very interesting, definetely adding that!

Again thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou
