It's All Here!
The Lesbian Sex Book is a user-friendly compendium on lesbian life, cleverly arranged from A to Z - making it easy to find your topic. Entries are chock full of social history ("Years ago, lesbians wore pinky rings to let other lesbians know who they were..."); anatomy ("the clitoris is all the structures that function together to produce orgasm."); "how-to" instructions ("Pinch her nipple gently, or roll it between your fingers, perhaps tugging slightly as you do so."); psychology ("Sometimes, loneliness feels like a fatal disease..."); advice ("Whether you're looking for Ms. Right or Ms. Tonight, remember that your self-worth is not dependent on someone else's "Yes."); serious stuff ("You may be with the same woman for twenty years, but you will still have fewer rights than a heterosexual couple married for one day."); anecdotes, quotes from other books, a resource and hotline list, and lots of humor ("Sex noises are great toys that you can play with at odd times.") !

Friendly, accessible, informative, funny
The Lesbian Sex Book is a nice starter book for the lesbian trying to get acclimated to the lesbian world. More than a sex primer, it also covers history and social issues. Occasionally kind of lame but often funny.

ALL I REALLY NEED
So, yes, all I really needed to know about lesbian sex I have learned from this phenomenal book. In easy-to-read abecedarian (abc-order) format, it's comprehensible, clear, concise without omitting great details, and can be picked up and accessed by topic any time. The revisions are contemporary and and cool, helping the original writing to extend to queer girls of the younger generation. This is a reference book that I will keep on my shelf and will recommend to everyone I know, even to men who seem to be relatively clueless about sex between women. Keep this one in mind for the holidays, kids. :)
