BEGINNING

DOB Book Service

After much soul-searching, and many requests from friends and readers of THE LADDER, Daughters of Bilitis has decided to start a book service, dealing primarily in fiction and non-fiction concerning the Lesbian.

Our present selection of titles is small, but it will grow each month. And, although small, we believe each title to be good in the area covered. Now for sale are:
