     The 7/22/92 issue of THE CHRONICLE OF HIGHER EDUCATION has an interesting
article on Page A-8:

"FROM MARGIN TO MAINSTREAM:  BOOKS IN GAY AND LESBIAN STUDIES"
'Presses show new interest in field once considered risky'
by Liz McMillen

     The article notes that "other presses are starting special series devoted
to the subject", and then goes on to talk about Duke Univ Press, New York Univ
Press and the "Chicago Series on Sexuality, History and Society" from the Univ
of Chicago Press.  Some authors, scholars, editors, and publishers are briefly
interviewed in this article.   

     The article is a bit too long to retype here, but I will give you the
listing of "FORTHCOMING BOOKS IN GAY & LESBIAN STUDIES -- A SAMPLING" which
appeared in a sidebar.

(anticipated publication dates are in parentheses,  
 sorry but no prices or ISBN#s  were mentioned)

     25 titles, all from academic publishers...
