Let me just throw a great big giant personal 'THANK YOU'! I bought my copy of "The Lesbian Sex Book" way back in college and I adored it. I feel all fangirl excited now!

Ironically, I bought the book at Amazon Books, a local Minneapolis gay and lesbian bookstore way before amazon.com existed. The rise of amazon.com caused considerable consternation and I believe a settlement was reached between the two.

I'd love to sit and chitchat about the possibilities of megacorps playing fast and loose with categorizing the gay books, but I've got a full schedule today...many many heterosexual marriages to ruin, lots of freedoms to destroy. Longstanding traditional values don't just ruin themselves! They need hard working liberals!
