Item description from seller

A collection of six Inscribed books by Alma Routsong, the real name of author Isabel Miller, from the library of Elizabeth Deran, her partner and the motivating force in her life, along with Deran’s copy of Routsong's final book published shortly before Routsong’s death in the fall of 1996. Most notable is a first edition of the self-published lesbian classic *A Place for Us* (1969), later published by McGraw-Hill under the title *Patience and Sarah* (1972), which was selected by the American Library Association as the winner of its first Gay Book Award (now called the Stonewall Book Award). The group of books also contains two copies of *Patience and Sarah* (the first hardcover edition and first French edition), as well as three Naiad Press first editions: *The Love of a Good Women*, *A Dooryard Full of Flowers*, and the Dedication Copy of *Side by Side*. Overall near fine with light wear to the dust jackets or wrappers.
