Stolen glances Book

When I originally bought this book 20 years ago, I bought it because I wanted to see a bunch of photographs of lesbians throughout the years. It does have some photographs, although the book definitely isn't full of them. This book is hardly even about photographs; it's mostly about lesbian history and theory. And because it's by British authors, it's written in the typical British style: it goes on and on and on and on without saying much of anything. There is one set of three photographs of a certain lesbian at different times and in different poses; the author goes on and on about what the pictures mean and why the woman dressed and posed the way she did. For heaven's sakes, is it just possible that there is no hidden meaning? That they're just pictures, nothing more and nothing less?
Definitely not recommended, except for one photo of a cute young "baby dyke", probably from the early 1980s, in San Francisco's Dykes on Bikes leaning against a motorcycle. Hot! She's the only reason I gave it two stars instead of one.
