About This Item
(New York): (L.S. Publications Corp), 1965. First edition. Near fine.. Scarce wide-eyed pulp exposé of the lesbian bars, codes, conventions, and secret underground cabals of mid-'60s America. Purportedly the chronicle of an undercover investigation by intrepid reporter "Doris Hanson," SECRET LESBIAN SOCIETY records the author's interviews and flirtations with film stars, models, and librarians, from Las Vegas to Santa Monica, all while trying earnestly not to forget her boyfriend back home. "I feel no need to apologize for anything I've ever done," one woman tells her. "Do I look unhappy? Hardly." Campy, sleazy, occasionally sincere. 6.25'' x 4.25''. Original pictorial wrappers. An Original Imperial Book. 192 pages. Light edgewear and scuffing to wrappers; corner crease to front cover.
