I got little that could help me in my situation as a latebloomer, but did find this book informative in a political/cultural way in addition to gaining greater insight into what some of my transgendered friends have gone through. It has some good articles on the power behind strapping it on, kink, the butch/femme issue, etc. I found this to be a good primer to the history of the community, with some interesting detours along the way.

This book covers just about everything you could ever want to know about lesbian sex. More then a few friends have borrowed this book out of curiosity. They all found this book to be very interesting.

I do realize that this book is about sex, so obviously it will have some dirty talk. However, this book is totally perverse. The language they use is absolutely unnecessary and degrading. Every other word is dyke or daddy. Every single reference to genitalia is either a curse word or street name. I'm actually fine with cursing, but to this extent is annoying. This author is obviously a writer, so she should have some creativity. It is geared mostly to butches and girls interested in butches. The material is very very basic. If you've ever been with a woman, butch or other, you will know these things. This would include summer camp at 11. Many virgins could figure this out with common sense. However, if you are interested in piercing your skin, cutting yourself, or setting your skin on fire (yes, they seriously go over this) then maybe you'll like this book. I only paid $3 for this book and it wasn't worth that, don't buy this book.
