I got this at the lesbian herstory archives booksale! Which, amazing. And the book was much better than I expected. So, so self-serious/self-conscious, but I guess that is part of the charm. There were even some funny parts and medium hot parts.

As a book from the sixties, it was a little old fashioned and slow at times, but it is a wonderful piece of queer literature and history.
