	HU002		Roberts' Rules Of Lesbian Dating Shelly Roberts SGD15.40 The third title in the hugely popular 'Roberts' Rules' series finds Shelly Roberts turning her attention to the little-practised and even less understood rituals of lesbian dating. This is a handy guide leading the way through that eternal source of hope and anticipation, confusion and perplexity. It's also great fun.
	HU003 Hard Cover		Split-Level Dykes To Watch Out For Alison Bechdel SGD56.70 The rented house of Ginger, Lois & Sparrow is put up for sale but they all want to stay together. Jezanna has a man moved in, while Mo considers the cost-saving benefits of cohabitation with Sydney. Its two dominant story lines--politically correct Mo commits herself to Sydney, while Clarice and Toni, lesbian moms of color, nearly break up over their move to the great white suburbs--keep the reader enthralled and anxious, easy prey to the comic relief of Sparrow's heterosexual panic and the dating foibles of the swashbuckling Lois. With an anthropologist's eye for social detail, Bechdel fleshes out her two-dimensional world into something you could consider either the best kind of beach reading or the stuff of doctoral dissertations.
	HU004		Dykes To Watch Out For Alison Bechdel SGD30.80 Bechdel's story takes us through their parenting adventure in amusing sequences dealing with frozen-sperm deliveries, breaking the news to parents (or, in Toni's case, pretending there's a father) and the shock of baby-support groups--all subtly illuminating the problems that same-sex couples must face to have children. Bechdel handles Toni's labor and birth with tasteful detail, humor and just the right amount of sentiment. Her black-and-white drawings are charming, carefully conceived and briskly comic.
	HU005		More Dykes To Watch Out For Alison Bechdel SGD35.40 This new collection of dykes follows the politically earnest and neurotic Mo and her affable lover Harriet as they prepare to live together. Their many friends--happily promiscuous Lois; Ginger, the black college professor; Ginger's Asian housemate Sparrow; and lovebirds Clarice and Toni--make appearances through subplots that humorously detail the course of their lives and love affairs.
	HU006		The Inflatable Butch Ellen Orleans SGD30.50 The Lambda Literary Award winning-author of The Butches of Madison County returns with an insightful and hilarious collection of essays that examine pressing and important questions such as this. She also tackles thorny issues such as the ex-girlfriend's commitment ceremonies, practical polymory, and S/M lite. With keen insight and flawless comic sensibility, Ellen Orleans takes the queer GREs, chooses a Barbie for her nephew, marches topless in a pride parade , and finally earns her lesbian merit badge! For everyone who ever said that lesbians can't laugh at themselves, crack the cover of The Inflatable Butch and you will realize that sense of humor is truly alive! Comes highly recommended by us.
	HU007 Hard Cover		It's In Her Kiss Elizabeth Dean SGD44.70 The nation's first lesbian television network, L-TV, boasts a crack team of prime-time writers headed by C. J. Jansen, all well-paid, highly-motivated women yearning to make their mark with cutting-edge innovation. Too bad the network is owned and run by C. J.'s ex, DebbIe Lee, affectionately known as "Dragon Lady," a boss who goes beyond a tough, no-nonsense attitude toward her staff, taking pleasure in their discomfort and seeking to humiliate them publicly whenever possible. When she has the audacity to take credit for their work, the group plots an overthrow so risky it could land them all in jail. Add to the complexities the complication of a romance for C. J. with her top writer, Maria Hernandez, who's not only a subordinate, but pregnant. With crackling dialog from a politically correct mix of characters, Dean's book is a true page-turner.

Explore intimacy issues in Serial Monogamy, a special cartoon essay exclusively available in this edition.
	HU009 NEW		Dykes and Sundry Other Carbon-Based Life-Forms to Watch Out for Alison Bechdel SGD35.80 That sprawling crew of feisty counter- and not-so-counter-culturalists are back in a 20th-anniversary collection of Bechdel's popular lesbian-themed strip. Devoted readers may be happy to find some things never change: Mo is still a social malcontent, and her colleague, Lois, is as rebellious as ever. (This time, she's tweaking Mo by pretending to consider becoming a man.) The bookstore where they work has its usual financial difficulties, and everyone still hates the president. But not all is as it once was. For one thing, same-sex marriages (well, unions) are now legal in Vermont, and one couple, Clarice and Toni, consider whether to make their relationship official in the state's eyes. Then there's Sparrow: a long-time member of the group house where Lois lives, who has fallen in love with another housemate-a man-and seems to be unexpectedly pregnant. And Ginger, an academic, is facing the purgatory of a non-tenured position at an undistinguished school; buried under papers to grade, she barely even notices when a lovely waitress at a local juice bar makes a move. While first-time readers may lack the back story that's developed over the past two decades with these and several other characters, Bechdel is a master of interwoven plot lines, and she sprinkles helpful summaries through the panels so new readers can tell where they are in the tale. An introduction covering highlights of the past 20 years illustrates how far Bechdel has come; from impressionistic sketches to work that is rich, funny, deep and impossible to put down.
