The June Issue of PBSA: Special Issue on Queer Bibliography
From the Editors
We are delighted to share this special issue of PBSA, guest edited by Malcolm Noble and Sarah Pyke. Queer bibliography, as their rationale discusses, is a practice that has a long history even if it has only recently been labeled as a specific methodology. In this issue you’ll read about bibliographical work ranging from the 18th century through the 21st, covering matters from cataloging standards to collective movement printing. Queer bibliography has lessons to offer for all of us doing bibliographical work, whether or not our topics or our lives are queer.
