Diana Press

 

Lately, I’m preoccupied with the fantasy of reissuing many of the Diana Press books. After speaking with Coletta Reid, last April, and reading/rereading several of the Diana books before the interview, I was struck by the content and the beauty of the books, as objects. Several are available from used booksellers, if you’re looking to collect them.

 

 

Big Mama Rag

I’ll be interviewing Jackie St Joan of Big Mama Rag, on Friday evening, in Denver, Colorado. I found this article while researching in the wonderful Tamiment Collection at NYU.

Consuming Queers

Gerard Koskovich just posted something interesting, over on our Facebook page. He writes, “The records of Old Wives Tales are preserved in the archives of The GLBT Historical Society in San Francisco. The “Consuming Queers” display at the society’s new GLBT History Museum in the Castro District features a revenue-and-expenses chart from the store from 1978–1979.”

A little more information:

GLBT History Museum (San Francisco) ‎”Consuming Queers: The GLBT Marketplace” in “Our Vast Queer Past” documents the emergence of queer consumer capitalism. The background graphic is the 1978-1979 income and expenses chart from Old Wives Tales, a lesbian-feminist bookstore in San Francisco that was in business from 1976 to 1995.
