A new lesbian and gay book club is being introduced this week around the country. Liberation Book Club was formed a month ago by Joseph Letendre, and is geared to cater to the mail order buyer of lesbian and gay books.

While this is not the first book club of its kind, Mr. Letendre emphasizes that Liberation is stressing the quality and number of books available, rather than having glossy announcements or extra fees to join.

"I know that there are plenty of men and women who can't find gay books in their local bookstores. This is an easy way for them to get the books they want." Letendre announced that he will be working with almost all the lesbian and gay presses and that they have been cooperative in letting him have their most popular books.

Liberation Book Club has a few rules. To join, send your name and address to the Club's Post Office Box 453, South Norwalk, CT 06856. A new brochure will be sent out every six weeks, with more than a dozen lesbian or gay books from which to choose. For each book purchased, a credit will be given. When enough credits are collected they, together with a small charge, can be used to buy any book in the brochure.

Most books will be sold at the retail price, but periodically discount books will be offered as specials. There will be a small postage and handling charge on all orders. Payments may be made by check or money order. Within the next few months credit cards will also be accepted.
