• Women Gone Wild, "The adventures of two city slickers and two dachshunds who leave their urban footprints behind and learn to love rattlers, bears, pot growers and each other. Anyone who’s ever dreamed of chucking it all and moving to the country will find Women Gone Wild a funny, provocative and engaging story. And it’s all true."

• Dream Lover. "Kate Paine is a quiet lesbian artist. Ellie Webster is a married, seductive socialite who always has a woman 'on the side.' Twenty years ago, the two women had a brief affair at boarding school. Now in their forties, they’ve met again. Suddenly, love flares up anew, and neither Kate nor Ellie’s lives will ever be the same.

• Promise Not To Tell. "Fifteen-year-old Simon felt as if he couldn’t do anything right. He’d been kicked out of prep school and was in constant battle with his parents. Shipping him off to Maine to live with his older cousin was his mother’s idea of a way to turn his life around. Simon didn’t agree. But that was before he met Laura. She was beautiful. The most beautiful girl Simon had ever seen. And she needed him. Laura was living with a dark secret she couldn’t tell anyone, except Simon. Simon had to help her. It was one thing he knew was right, even if keeping her secret make everything go terribly wrong."

• Crush. It wasn't easy fitting in at an exclusive girls' boarding school like Huntington Hill. But in her senior year, Jinx finally felt like she belonged. Lexie--beautiful, popular Lexie--wanted her for a friend. Just being near her new friend made Jinx feel dizzy and wonderful. Jinx knew she had a big crush on Lexie, and that she had to do something to make it go away. But Lexie had other plans--and Lexie always got her way. A classic lesbian novel about two private school girls who are deeply attracted to each other. CRUSH was one of the first novels of its time to explore the mind and feelings of a girl exploring her attraction to another girl. It became an overnight bestseller in the lesbian and women's community in the 1980s.

• Marin: The Place, The People. Marin County in California, whose western shores are flanked by the Pacific and whose eastern shores are formed by San Francisco Bay, has been satirized and stereotyped and the so-called Marin life-style has entered into contemporary mythology - hot tubs, peacock feathers, marijuana plants on the redwood deck, bean sprouts n the salad. Now, the actual Marin, as it is and as it was, is celebrated in a magnificently beautiful book that does full justice to the place itself in all its astonishing variety - sea, mountain, farmland, isolated villages, commuter suburbs, and to the remarkable diversity of people fortunate enough to live there. For anyone who has lived in or visited Marin or intends to visit there - after reading and looking at Marin: The Place, The People - or simply as a book to daydream over, this handsome assemblage of text and pictures should prove irresistible.
